For about a month ive had a feeling of discomfort in my penis tip. Like a burning sensation but not when urinating. It comes and goes sometimes a few minutes after i finish going to the bathroom. Im a 28 yr old male and as far as sexually active yes but i always use condoms except a few weeks ago i recieved oral sex without one. I see no discharge but when i spread open my tip (meatus) if i look inside i can see a "wet" substance. Is this normal? I was also prescribed cipro for 7 days because my dr thought it was a uti. I finished the meds last week and still have these symptoms. Im not sure if its an std, me paying to much attention, or something else? Please help

Thanks alot. What about when i look into my urethra its got like a wet look in there. Just a tad to notice. Is that normal or a discharge of some sort? Nothing has come out of it its only when i spread the tip and look down it

Hello,
One of the possibilities for your such symptoms is of urethritis. It can be due to STD’S like Chlamydia or gonorrhea, chemical irritation caused by soaps, lotions etc, masturbation and bacterial infections of the urethra or even non gonococcal urethritis.

The symptoms can be due to urethritis like non gonococcal urethritis which is caused by non gonorrheal infections like Chlamydia, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Haemophilus vaginalis, and Mycoplasma genitalium.
You can opt for specific tests for Chlamydia which include Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT, to find the genetic material of Chlamydia), Nucleic acid hybridization tests (DNA probe test, Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA, EIA), Direct fluorescent antibody test (DFA) or chlamydia culture.

I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
