Is it possible that a STD won't show symptoms for several months?

Hi, I posted recently on here about a yeast infection. I've been using antifungals and monistat 7 for 5 days. Everything seemed to be going away. The rash that I had was leaving and I was really starting to feel better. Today I woke up and I had some discharge. My last sexual experience was a brief oral encounter 3 months ago. I have had 0 symptoms other than a rash. I went to a dermatologist and he said I had a fungal issue. My question is, Do some STD's not show up for several months? The only symptom I have is the discharge and some tingling at the urethra opening. The urethra opening is also pinkish/irritated

Hi having brief oral 3 months ago and no symptoms like a white puss penis discharge, burning while urinating or genital sores all appearing about a week later  you can pretty much rule out that you got any std.

Thank you very much for getting back to me Dave.

So even though I did have some type of discharge, it is probably related to something else. This may not be something that you are familiar with, but do you think the discharge could be related to the antifungals/ monistat getting into the urethra?
if the discharge is not white puss its not a sign of an infection.
Dave, I have one final question. I've read online that some STD's show no symptoms at all. Gonorhea being one of them. Is there any truth to this at all? There seems be a lot of info out there and I'm not sure what to believe
In men gono will show symptoms of a white puss discharge and terrible burning while urinating nearly 100% of the time but its differnent with women as the germs could be inside the vaginal area not the urethra but when it gets inside the urethra like in men you can surely count on sympstoms appearing as is a very confined area.
