How does syphilis affect the fetus?

Syphilis pathogens can be transmitted to the fetus through the umbilical cord, resulting in miscarriage, premature birth, deformity or birth with syphilis symptoms. Pregnant women with syphilis need regular prenatal check-ups during pregnancy, and the fetus should be actively treated after delivery. At the same time, pregnant women and their husbands should also actively treat syphilis.
