Brief Answer:
STD is unlikely; I suggest a few Lab test like Urinalysis, Urine culture
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query and I have noted down your concern.
An STD is a very unlikely cause for these symptoms specially in the absence of symptoms & signs i.e urethral discharge and burning sensation on passing urine.
Oral sex is anyways not a common cause of urethritis and moreover it is unlikely to manifest after 4-6 months of oral sex.
Abdominal pain and dull testicular ache could be due to another medical condition like prostatitis, hernia, kidney stones Or urinary infection.
I suggest a few basic tests i.e Urinalysis, Urine culture, Ultrasound abdomen.
Clinical examination by a general surgeon/ urologist would give more idea if there is a local cause for these symptoms like prostatitis Or hernia.
Regards

Thank you for your answer, that what i was thinking, i cant remember the date but last time i had any unprotected sex other than my now gf was with a guy experimenting but i did not ejaculate and was around 4-6 months ago. I have had oral since then with others which has always been protected. So without me having dishcharge or urine pain this will not be an std? The symptoms i have alone will not be std related? Im quite a worrier so i apologise. My penis its self looks healthy and if i did have urination pain i woukd know about it? These symptoms started after a day of frequent masturbation in a short period of time, could that be related? Would a picture of
my penis help? I think looks totally normal

Brief Answer:
Not an STD; Other medical conditions need evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
The symptoms that you have i.e mild abdominal pain & dull testicular ache in absence of fever, urethral discharge or burning sensation are not classical of an STD and moreover the time lag (i.e 4-6 months) between your last unprotected oral sexual act and current symptoms does not go in favor of an STD.
Though STDs like gonorrhea and chlamydia may rarely be acquired through unprotected oral sex and this may get complicated by testicular involvement i.e epididymo-orchitis but not after such a long time delay of 4-6 months.
Frequent masturbation may be a possible cause if you were too rough with your genitals.
Else, these symptoms in your case is most likely due to another medical condition like prostatitis, hernia, kidney stones Or urinary infection as I mentioned earlier.
I suggest you to take an otc analgesic like paracetamol, twice daily for 2-3 days for symptomatic relief. If they do not resolve by then I suggest you to visit a urologist.
