Could My Symptoms, Including Headaches, Body Aches, Sore Throat, And Sores On My Penis, Indicate Advanced Syphilis?

I have symptoms that I believe to be syphilis because I have strong headaches, body aches, sore throat and inflamed, there were injuries in penis once or twice and recently I have realized that I have several bubbles in my armpits. Do you believe it can be my syphilis at a high level? I need urgent treatment and have the blood test.

Hello,

From your history alone, I cannot able to come to diagnosis that you have syphilis, there should be some sexual contact. However, if you want to be stress free by knowing that you are not affected with syphilis, I suggest you to undergo screening procedure like VDRL TEST. If there is any doubt, then we can proceed with some other confirmatory tests, if VDRL IS POSITIVE. Therefore, go to some hospital and take the VDRL test.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
