Home -> Shop By Store -> Veneral DiseasesVeneral DiseasesWhat is Veneral Disease ?From venery, i.e. the pursuit of Venus, the goddess of love), a general term for the diseases resulting from impure sexual intercourse. Three distinct affections are included under this termgonorrhoea, local contagious ulcers, known as chancres, and syphilis. At one time these were regarded as different forms of the same disease. They are, however, three distinct diseases, due to separate causes, and have nothing in common except their habitat. Causes of Veneral Disease The cause in each case is a definite specific virus, a microorganism. In the case ~of gonorrhoea the virus attacks the mucous membranes, especially that of the urethra, the vagina and the uterus. Chancres attack the mucous membranes and the skin. In syphilis the whole system comes under the influence of the poison. Symptoms of Veneral Disease They have different stages of incubation. In gonorrhoea the disease appears very rapidly. So also in the case of the soft chai~cres, the first symptoms commencing as a rule three or four days after inoculation. It is different, however, with syphilis, the period of incubation being twenty-eight days, though it may be much longer. The length of the period of incubati~n, therefore, is of great diagnostic help in the case of syphilis. |
