The structure of the Treponema pallidum in tertiary syphilis has mutated, developed drug resistance, and its harmfulness has increased, leading to a rise in disability and mortality rates. If not treated promptly, tertiary syphilis can result in organ failure and even endanger life. So, how should tertiary syphilis be managed during treatment? What should tertiary syphilis patients eat?
Nursing measures for tertiary syphilis patients:
1. Patient's clothing and items, such as towels, clothes, razors, tableware, and bedding, should be strictly disinfected under the guidance of medical staff.
2. Track the patient's sexual partners, including those reported by the patient and those identified by medical staff. Find all sexual contacts of the patient, perform preventive examinations, follow up with observation, and provide necessary treatment. Sexual activity is absolutely prohibited for the spouse until the patient is cured.
3. Pregnant women suspected of having syphilis should be given preventive treatment promptly to prevent the infection from being transmitted to the fetus. Unmarried male and female patients cannot marry until they are cured.
Recommended dietary remedies for tertiary syphilis:
Remedy 1: 120 grams of pagoda tree flowers, an appropriate amount of white wine. Directions: Stir-fry the pagoda tree flowers and then add two cups of wine. Boil for more than ten times and take while hot.
Remedy 2: Appropriate amounts of ginger and cattail root. Directions: Mash and apply externally.
Remedy 3: Dandelion porridge. 40-60 grams of dandelion (60-90 grams for fresh dandelion), 30-60 grams of rice. Wash and chop the herbs, extract the juice, remove the residue, and cook with rice to make porridge. Take warm 2-3 times a day for 3-5 days as a course. Functions: Clears heat and detoxifies, reduces swelling and dissipates nodules. Can be used throughout the course of syphilis.
Remedy 5: Plum flower porridge. First cook rice into porridge. When the porridge is almost done, add an appropriate amount of white plum flowers and boil for two to three times before consuming. Take warm on an empty stomach twice a day for 3-5 days as a course. Can clear residual heat and is suitable for the recovery period of syphilis.
Although these 5 dietary remedies can treat syphilis, they are not the first choice for treatment. It is essential to completely eradicate the Treponema pallidum for a cure.
Dietary taboos for tertiary syphilis:
1. Consume more foods rich in vitamin A, such as carrots, spinach, bok choy, leeks, amaranth, broccoli, water spinach, mustard greens, alfalfa, Malantou, daylily, fennel, coriander, kale, and apricots.
2. Choose foods rich in vitamin B6, as vitamin B6 plays an important role in regulating fat and fatty acid synthesis, inhibiting sebum secretion, and stimulating hair regeneration.
3. Reduce consumption of animal fats, sweets, and spicy and irritating foods.
4. Avoid alcohol and tobacco.
