White, painless discharge in penis

by palacerunner, Mar 16, 2007 12:00AM
For three months now, I've been finding a discharge at the tip of my penis. At first, there'd be stains in my underwear, and as time passed: I'd have to milk it to look for discharge. It was white, thick, and odourless.
I didn't experience any pain in urination whatsoever.
I checked it up with three doctors, and none of them (after urethral swab tests or urinanalysis) found any chlamidya, gonhorrea--but there definitely was an infection, since the white blood cell count was quite high at first (15, later decreased to 3 by last month). The urethral swab test showed that there was a heavy growth of a streptococcous bacteria in there. The doctor told me that it was nothing ot be worried about.

They gave me antibiotics and told me not to worry about it.

The discharge cleared eventually.

Things had subsided until yesterday when I found yellow stains in my underwear and thick white discharge in my penis. It was as bad as it first was, and now, there's a vague itching sensation in my urethra (I don't know whether its my mind playing tricks on me or something worht being worried about).

The thing that gets me is that I haven't had any sexual contact for three full years. So, I know that it can't be a SEXUALLY transmitted disease. WHat else could it be?
In both instances of these incidences: I remember having worn tight underwear for long stretchs of time (the first being a six-hour flight, and the second being when I fell asleep).

What is it? What should I do about it? Should I be worried?

Appreciate any help. Thanks!

yeast?

by crookedletta, Aug 13, 2008 06:45PM
They just told me it was in inflamation (inflammation) of my urethra but that I also had some kind of bacterial infection. No not yeast though...

I have this too!

I havent had sex in over a year now and suddenly 3 months back, this started happening. I had a cold and a real bad cough, and the doctor gave me ammoxocilin for it. Then, about a week later, this started. There is no pain, nothing. Just every few days, a small thick discharge. Im worried coz the doctor doesnt know what it is, it cant be an STD and im worried the next girl who sees down there will think i have Gonorrhea when i dont!

Any advice?!

Ive had kinda of the same issue...  Sometimes after urinating i get a small, thick, painless, Whitish- yellowish discharge.  I also get the sensation that im not finished passing the urine.  Also sometimes there is a very slight burn after urinating or right before, it does not last long.  I was wondering if YALL get these big, red, firm, and knotty like bumps on your thighs?  Ive seen a doctor about em' and he said that it was a bacterial infection, either strepp or staph.  I was wondering if those bumps and the discharge after passing urine was related?

I am 26 years old and the last time I had sex was about 2 months ago but is that too long ago for to even consider it as an STD.  I just noticed this white discharge today actually. There is this slight almost burning sensation when I urinate but it is not very bad. It is freaking me out. I see my girlfriend at the end of October. Do you think this issue can be resolved by then. This *****.

Hi All,

I have experienced the problem above for a year now and been to the doctors, for sti checks all kinds of tests on my testicles and everything came back clear yet the problem proceeds, i spoke to somebody at the urology hospital and they explained the condition to be as follows,


Non-specific Urethritis (NSU)

The exact organism that causes this infection often isn't known - hence the name "non-specific". Generally it results from a contamination of the urethra - the tube in your penis which you pee through, with bacteria which normally live in the mouth, on your or someone else's skin, It is very common indeed. So again, it can be spread by oral, anal and vaginal sex. Because sometimes it can be caused by skin bacteria, vigorous rubbing or masturbation, without penetration, can result in an NSU.

NSU may cause a burning sensation when you pee and sometimes this is very severe indeed. Guys often want to pass urine often, but with little coming out.

It can sometimes cause a whitish discharge, which is usually fairly scanty and thin (- compare with gonorrhoea).

Again, using condoms for oral, anal and vaginal sex will protect you to a very great extent.

Treatment is again by antibiotics after special swabs have been taken. These swabs are taken from just inside your urethra (tube in your penis through which you pee).

I am starting on the antibiotics soon so will give that a try.
