I've read about chlamydia, and I know this type of pain is a symptom. My concern arose because my girlfriend, who I have been in a monogamous relationship with for about a year and half (and 100% faithful, I can assure you), currently has some possible STD symptoms (slight burning when urinating, irritation), but it could also be just a yeast infection.
I'm confused because if our mutual symptoms are STD related, why are the symptoms showing up so much later, how could we possibly be infected now if we weren't after the unprotected sex, and why did our symptoms appear at the same time after months and months of protected sex?
I admit, I am paranoid, but there is still doubt in my mind that we coincidentally both have a yeast infection and penis injury, respectably.
I guess I need to know if there is any possible explanation for the pain besides an STD.
If you have pain, go and be seen. Same with your gf. she shouldn't attempt to self treat at home - she needs a proper exam and testing done.
