STD?

[Mikehilton83]

Hi there. 8 weeks ago I received unprotected oral sex from someone outside my marriage, huge mistake but it happened nonetheless. A few days later I began to experience some dysuria which has now (8weeks later) become intermittent and worst in the morning when I first wake up. My wife (who I have sex with about every other day has now 7 weeks after my indiscretion begun to have thin yellowish discharge accompanied by NO other symptoms such as dysuria, itching, painful Intercourse etc. She recently stopped breastfeeding and is ovulating at the moment about to have her first period following the birth of our child so I'm think her discharge may be resultant of that. I know you're going to say I need to get tested, however I'm worried she'll find out if I do. My question is, how worried should I be? Especially considering the late onset of her symptoms (discharge after 7 weeks).

Dr's do not post on this website.

What you read is incorrect, gonorrhea shows symptoms in 90+% of men. Symptom you would show would be discharge. And it is not easily transmitted from oral sex.

Where ever you are getting this info from it is a bad source.

I've just read the symptoms of gonorrhea are often asymptomatic or subtle symptoms, which concerns me since gonorrhea is easily transmitted from receiving oral sex if the person giving the oral sex has a gonorrhea infection of the throat.

Thanks for your input Vance. I don't mean this in any offensive way at all just curious, are you a physician?

Your risk was low and you have no symptom which screams STD.
