Neurosyphilis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Neurosyphilis is a complication of syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection, that occurs when the bacterium that causes it affects the nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. It can appear if syphilis is not detected or treated in time.
Possible symptoms: Headache, changes in behavior or memory, vision changes, difficulty walking and, in some cases, weakness or numbness.
How is it prevented? Detecting and treating syphilis in a timely manner, along with safe sexual practices, reduces the risk of reaching this stage.
Which specialist treats it? The infectious disease specialist leads its study; the general practitioner guides the first contact, and the gynecologist or the urologist provide support in sexual health and detection. If you have a history of syphilis or neurological symptoms, a professional evaluation is essential to act in time.
