2. Swollen Lymph Nodes

The second symptom of syphilis is the swelling of lymph nodes, mostly in the groin area. However, this can also happen all over the body, especially in the neck. Swelling is a common reaction of the lymphatic system whenever a foreign bacterium is present. If both of the previously mentioned symptoms are present, see a doctor immediately. Syphilis is easily stopped in its early stages. Sometimes, syphilis doesn't cause sores, so it is important to look out for swollen lymph nodes.
