Hi,
The incubation can be as long as more than a year for syphilis. However, I strongly recommend that you have an std panel done to rule this out. The symptoms and the physical examination should also be correlated. This way, definite diagnosis can be obtained and any worries can be eliminated. Take care always.
Thanks. Can the incubation last as long as a year or more?
Hi,
With regards to STDs, the incubation period will depend on the type of organisms that causes the disease. However, many sexually transmitted diseases can remain asymptomatic for months like chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis. Barrier methods like condoms are highly effective in the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. However, it would be best to determine the underlying cause first before having another sexual contact. Take care and do keep us posted.
Thank you for replying. There is no pain when I unrinate. My doctor did another unrine test and he did not
Find and white blood cells. I will make another appointment with my docotor this week and get a std test.
How long can a person go with a std and not show symptoms
I've had sex with my wife this week and we used a condom, Is that bad?
Hi,
How are you? Are there other symptoms present like pain during urination, rash, swollen lymph nodes or urinary frequency? Aside from sexually transmitted diseases, other common cause of penile discharge is an infection of the urethra or nonspecific urethritis or inflammation of the prostate (prostatitis). Penile discharge urethritis can be diagnosed by finding white blood cells on a urethral swab or urine sample. Talk to your doctor about your lab result, your physical examiantion and his working diagnosis to clear things up. Take care and best regards.
