Hello,

Thank you for asking your query at DoctorSpring.

It is very unlikely to be STD. Reason being it does not fit into the symptom pattern of STD, and oral sex has very low risk of STD transmission. NO ulcer / lesion , no Urinary symptoms etc almost rules out STD.

However the groin swellings ( ? Lymph Nodes) and the testicular pain needs evaluation. Lymphogranuloma venereum one possible infection that can cause lymph node enlargement like this.

As you have rightly said, you do need some test.
I recommend a Ultrasound Abdomen and testes, Basic STD screening and test for Chlamydia. Antibiotics with out testing will not be useful.

So to conclude - STD less likely. But the symptoms needs evaluation. If you can get the tests done, please get back to me with results. Alternatively you can consult your GP with results.

Hope this helps
Please feel free to ask followup questions.
Thank you

My groins aren't swollen anymore at all. They were only swollen for a day or so when I took the 500 mg it went away. I have no lesion or ulcer. Today I have no dull aches. So you think it is no Std? I saw some of those pictures online LGV it never looked that swollen. Thanks for your help!!!


If the swelling was only for day , then it is less likely to be lymph node. So LGV is very less likely. Yea , I do not think it is STD. But a basic STD screening may be done if symptoms persists.

Thank you
