There is an old joke about a man who felt he had symptoms of STD. Too bashful to have himself tested, he waited until he couldn’t stand the itching in his organs any more. he finally went to a doctor. The doctor gave him a check up and said, a??The infection is too bad, you will need a lot of medication.a? Unsatisfied, he went to see another doctor. The second doctor looked him over and said, a??The infection has gotten worse, you’ll need an operation.a? still unbelieving, he decided to try untraditional medical advice. he went to downtown and saw a Chinese doctor. just one look at his organs, the Chinese doctor shakes his head. a??No need for medicine. No need for operation!a? the Chinaman declares. The man was so relieved and excited. a??Really?a? he says. a??Yes!a? said the Chinese doctor,a?Infection so bad, pecker will just fall off!a?

In really life having STD symptoms is not a joke. of course, the male organ will not just fall off if he has STD. but leaving STD untreated can lead to far worse medical conditions. With STDs or Sexually Transmitted Diseases, some forms may or may not show any symptoms. The irony of it is that some symptoms are often mistaken for other less disastrous diseases. So the only sure way to find out if what you are having are signs of STDs is to have yourself checked in a reputable STD testing center.

Some STD symptoms in males differ from that of women. if you take a review of the male biological structure, the male reproductive organs are more exposed than that of women. some symptoms would manifest themselves more visually on males than in females. it is good to know if the physical symptoms you are experiencing are indicative of STDs. Below are examples of the most common symptoms and STDs that occur in males. This however does not serve as a means to self diagnose or be a reason not to seek professional help. it is still best to visit the nearest STD testing clinic.

Herpes is caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus 2. The STD Symptoms in Male is the appearance of painful tiny sores and blisters on the penis. These appear on the first outbreak usually within the first 2 weeks of exposure. The sores will appear to heal during the 2 to 4th week. The second stage of Herpes is the appearance of a 2nd batch of sores along with other flu like symptoms such as fever and swollen glands. These sores are mistaken for insect bites or another form of skin disease. if left untreated, these sores are very recurrent. An infected person will experience at least 4 to 5 outbreaks in a 12 month period. The only accurate way to detect Herpes is to undergo a viral and blood test in an STD clinic.

Gonorrhea and Chlamydia

STD Symptoms in Males of these diseases are quite similar. Symptoms of Gonorrhea appear 2 to 30 days after the man is infected. With Chlamydia, the man may or may not have symptoms but if he does it usually appears between the first to third weeks from the day of exposure. This bacterial infection invades the penis and urinary tract causing discomfort every time the man urinates or have sex. The man will also have a burning, itching sensation around the genitals. Pain and swelling of the testicles is also evident. With men, an abnormal discharge comes out of the penis usually white, yellow or green in color. if the man engages in anal sex, he may also experience discharges and bleeding in the anus.

Frequently Asked Questions

2. QUESTION: AFTER BEING EXPOSED TO AN STD, WHEN WILL A MALE PRODUCE SYMPTOMS?Is 3-4 months too long for a guy to just now start showing symtpoms of an STD like gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia, etc. if he contracted it months ago? Like if he started getting discharge would that be because of an STD he caught months ago? cause I heard guys show symptoms very fast.

   • ANSWER: The fact that you had symptoms of an STD soon after you were infected does NOT mean that everyone sees symptoms just as fast.

     It could take several months, or even longer, for symptoms of STDs to show up, depending on the type of STD, and depending on the person. The fact that symptoms may take a long time to appear is one reason testing is so important. For example, someone could have HIV for several years before symptoms appear, but more than 98% of people who have HIV would test positive within 3 months. STDs can be transmitted, even if there are no symptoms. you can not tell that someone has an STD just by looking at them.

3. QUESTION: how long can i be asymptomatic for chlamydia? (male)?so i had chlamydia/gonorrhea about 6 months ago, was treated and it completely went away.

   about a month ago i had unprotected sex with another girl, and again the same symptoms showed up. i’ve already treated it and it’s already gone, but i was wondering-

   is there any possibility that it wasn’t completely treated the first time and just stayed in incubation for 5 months, or did i definitely get it again a month ago?

   the first time i had it, it took just a couple weeks to show up

   I just don’t want to blame the girl if it wasn’t her fault, but either way i’m going to tell her to get checked out

   • ANSWER: Anything is possible. you may have had residual organisms.

     What possesses anyone to have unprotected sex?When you do, you are exposed to every partner your partner has ever had!

     What ever happened to chastity, deferred enjoyment, etc. ???
