Syphilis is a bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) that can lead to serious complications if left untreated. The good news is that it’s highly treatable — especially when detected early. If you’re looking for professional, confidential syphilis treatment, Dr Chong Clinic provides discreet testing, accurate diagnosis, and medical care across multiple clinics in Malaysia.
With a compassionate, non-judgmental approach, we help patients regain control of their health with evidence-based treatments in a private, safe environment.
What Is Syphilis?
Syphilis is caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It spreads primarily through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, or oral sex. The infection progresses through several stages:
- Primary stage: A painless sore (chancre) appears at the site of infection
- Secondary stage: Rash on palms, soles, or body; swollen lymph nodes; fatigue
- Latent stage: No symptoms, but the bacteria remain in the body
- Tertiary stage: Can affect the heart, brain, nerves, and organs if untreated
Syphilis is a serious but treatable STI. Early diagnosis and treatment at a trusted clinic like Dr Chong help prevent complications and stop the spread of infection.
How We Diagnose Syphilis
At Dr Chong Clinic, we offer fast, confidential testing that includes:
- Blood tests such as VDRL (Venereal Disease Research Laboratory) and TPHA
- Swab tests from active sores or ulcers (if present)
- Comprehensive STI screening to check for co-infections like HIV or hepatitis
Results are typically available within a few days, and your entire visit remains private and confidential.
Syphilis Treatment Options
Once diagnosed, syphilis is treated with antibiotics, usually benzathine penicillin G — administered as an injection. The treatment depends on the stage of the infection:
- Single-dose treatment for early-stage syphilis
- Multiple injections or extended oral antibiotics for later stages
- Follow-up blood tests to confirm the infection has cleared
We also provide guidance on informing sexual partners, preventing reinfection, and supporting your long-term health.
