Can symptoms of an STD first surface 6 years later?

Question

Let's say you're abstinent for 6 years but all of a sudden you notice something wrong like inflammation, tenderness in the upper V area. Could it be an STD that first shows symptoms 6 years after s*x?

Please don't bother responding if it's just to say see a doctor. Thanks.
