Brief Answer:
get it checked

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It is true that syphillis does not itch sometimes but it is unlikely that you have had syphillis for 20 years without getting other symptoms. Untreated syphillis can move into the nervous system and cause severe illness if left untreated. It would be best for you to see a doctor and let them look at the rash and reassure you that it is nothing serious.
If you have any concerns about syphillis or other sexually transmitted infections then ask to be tested when you see your doctor.
However, a rash that has not changed in 20 years is most likely just a benign skin condition and nothing serious.
It is always safest to be checked by a doctor.
Let me know if you have further questions,

Brief Answer:
heart defects

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It is hard to know the cause of heart defects. Sometimes they occur from random genetic mutations and sometimes they are an inherited defect. If your other two girls are healthy then that points to a random mutation in your child that died. One way to get a better sense of what happened to the girl that died is to have a doctor look at the medical records from her chart in XXXXXXX and tell you what they think was the cause. Also you could have genetic testing done to see if you have any genetic defects that you could pass on to another child.
As far as penis size goes 5-6 inches erect is normal so don't worry about that. There are no drugs to increase size that truly work.
Best to you,
Dr. Robinson

Brief Answer:
Sorry for delay

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have been doing volunteer work for the last 5 days and have had no internet.
For your first question, the main things to do for her are to make sure she is seeing a doctor regularly and taking a multivitamin. Make sure she gets plenty of protein in her diet and fresh fruits and vegetables.
As for getting a male child, you could talk to an in vitro fertilization specialist, but that is very costly. The sex of a child is a random event and depends upon the sperm that ends up fertilizing the egg.
I wish you the best and now I am back in regular internet service.
Dr. Robinson
