Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease caused by gonococcal infection. Its incubation period is generally three to five days. The treatment method should choose spectinomycin or ceftriaxone sodium for treatment. The clinical manifestation is mainly redness and swelling of vulva or external genitals, pain accompanied by pus discharge. Syphilis is caused by Treponema pallidum infection. The incubation period is usually two weeks to two months. The clinical manifestations are different from gonorrhea. It is divided into primary chancre, secondary syphilis rash, tertiary gum swelling, and even some advanced neurosyphilis or cardiovascular syphilis. Penicillin is the first treatment.
