Thanks. I haven’t been checked for anything else, but I don’t have any additional symptoms like painful urination or discharge. It’s only the dull pain in my penis. I may go see a urologist tomorrow.

After how many days of this, without a skin presentation, can I safely assume it’s simply not prodrome herpes? I’ve read people online say they’ve had a week long prodrome phase before.

Finally, if I had a swab done, would that be able to determine if herpes is present, even though there are no visible sores? Would my urologist be able to perform this test?
