Chancroid Causes Symptoms and Treatment



Haemophilus ducreyi is what is responsible for Chancroid. This is a highly contagious sexually transmitted disease, but is curable. Genital ulcers are caused by Chancroid. This is associated with painful lymph glands in the groin area. This is curable and should be treated as and when the symptoms start to surface. If it is left untreated would give way to HIV. The Chancroid is very common in The US and Africa. The complications that could root form Chancroid are scarring, infections and giving way to other STD’s.

As mentioned that Chancroid is a highly contagious and is transmitted in two ways. The first way is through sexual contact of two bodies. And the second way of transmission would be the non sexual way. In this the pus like substance gets in contact with the other parts of the body of the same person or another person who he gets in physical contact with. Though, there are no evidences of reports to conform that the same would be transmitted to the infant in case the mother in labor is affected by Chancroid.

The uncircumcised males are more prone to the Chancroid than the others. Having multiple partners or indulging in sex without protection could be the casuse of Chancroid.

The symptoms of Chancroid would start to get to the surface after 3-4 days and not later than 10 days. That is to say that if you get in touch with someone who has Chancroid, you would only know if you are infected or not within 4-10 days of such contact. There would be an ulcer that would appear as an elevated bump on the skin. This would then be filled with the pus like substance. This ulcer would be soft to touch. Ironically, this is very painful in case of men and for women, these ulcers would not cause any pain. In fact, most of the times, women would be unaware of the presence of the ulcer.

In case the above mentioned signs or symptoms occur then you shouldn’t waste time and be visiting a doctor. The procedure is relatively simple and it would not take too much time for the patient to get rid of Chancroid. A swap would be taken from the ulcer to confirm that it is Chancroid and then the medication can start. This would include antibiotics. The most common ones would be ciprofloxin, erythromycin and trimetropin. It should not take more than two weeks for the Chancroid to be healed. Though, during this time it is best not to get into any sexual act. The health care provider would drain the buboes. This is a simple procedure done using needles and the patient is under the influence of local anesthesia.

To prevent Chancroid, one should use protection while having sex. At the same time it would be better not to have multiple partners. And most of all, it is indispensable that your partners and you should get tested for sexually transmitted diseases at regular intervals.
