“…Due to the fact that the main route of transmission of Treponema pallidum is sexual intercourse, patients with syphilis should undergo a full package of examinations for potential accompanying sexually transmitted diseases/infections. Especially HIV co-infection [25,26].…”

Introduction: Syphilis is one of the oldest sexually transmitted diseases caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It is characterized by multiple clinical presentations and a long duration. Acquired syphilis is divided into early (≤ 1 year after infection) and late (> 1 year after infection) stages. Venereal diseases, more often defined as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), result from behaviours influenced by socio-economic, psychological, and cultural factors. Although the spectrum of sexually transmitted diseases, apart from classic syphilis and gonorrhoea, encompasses a wide range of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, viruses, protozoans, fungi, and even insects, the frequency of late syphilis has been on the rise in recent years. It is a significant clinical problem in our country. Irrespective of the COVID SARS-19 pandemic, this is an important issue of contemporary epidemiology.

“…If the examination excludes musculoskeletal causes, dysfunctions in the reproductive system should be considered, and a more detailed medical history regarding the genital organs should be taken. Back pain can be caused by pregnancy, ovarian cysts, uterine retroversion, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, or inflammation of the upper genital tract [24,25]. An increased tension in the abdominal cavity caused for example by hypertonia of the pelvic urogenital diaphragm can also shorten the iliopsoas muscle and, consequently, cause dysfunction of the lower spine.…”

Dyspareunia is genital pain during sexual intercourse without constriction of the vulva or vagina. This is one of the most significant issues that lies at the border of gynaecology and sexology. Dyspareunia can be caused by endometriosis. Many women can also experience premenstrual syndrome, which can occur as a separate problem. All three of these can result from an imbalance between the female genital organs and their surrounding tissues with other structures of the skeletal or visceral system, with impaired mobility and motility of organs, intra-organ movement, vascular drainage, a pressure gradient between the urogenital and diaphragmatic cylinders, dysfunctions in the area of the broad ligament of the uterus, and fascial bonding. Apart from standard treatment methods used in gynaecology and sexology, physiotherapy (e.g., visceral therapy) is of great value. Visceral therapy aims at restoring intra-organ movement, reducing tension, focusing on the area of the two cylinders of the trunk, and supporting the functioning of the vascular system in the vicinity of the uterus. All these activities reduce pain and substantially change the functioning of the uterus and ovaries.

Summary Human herpes viruses belong to the DNA viruses and are among the most common viral pathogens. Currently, eight human herpes viruses have been characterized. Primary infection is typically followed by virus latency. Viral reactivations are more often symptomatic than primary infections and lead more often to medical consultation. In daily practice, infections with herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella zoster virus (VZV) are the most common. If HSV primary infections become clinically manifest, they are often accompanied by systemic symptoms whereas manifest HSV reactivations are usually harmless, self‐limiting and present as grouped vesicles on an erythematous base (herpetiform). Primary VZV infection leads to the clinical picture of varicella (chickenpox). VZV reactivation manifests clinically as shingles and can be accompanied by severe acute neuralgiform pain. In immunosuppression, complicated (necrotizing, ulcerative, hemorrhagic, generalized) manifestations may occur. The diagnosis is usually made clinically. Therapeutic options include topical agents and systemic antivirals. Adequate therapeutic management includes the recognition and treatment of complications such as the possible involvement of other organ systems and pain. Infection during pregnancy may result in transmission to the unborn child.
