Do I have a UTI?
I am a twenty-seven year old male with no history of sexual intercourse save for masturbation earlier-on.
I have noticed the occassional release of whitish sometimes clear sticky material from my penis, similar to semen while defecating for the past month.
There's no pain or frequent urination; but today I noticed the clear discharge again after urinating!
Please, what's wrong with me? Is it just my penis glands over-producing stuff? Can it be that I'm ejaculating while defaecating without realising it, because once, the volume of the discharge seemed much like seminal fluid. Do I need antibiotics?

Thanks for you response, it's comforting to know that I'm not likely having a UTI.
But, I wonder if I may be ejaculating at thesame time as defaecating?
What do you mean by "it can happen simulatneously with straining to produce a penile discharge"?
Thank you!

Hi,
Urinary tract infection usually presents with difficulty or pain in urinating, frequency in urinating and other urinary symptoms. What other signs or symptoms are present?
What you described is not the usual presentation of a UTI but a urinalysis could help with the diagnosis.
It can happen simultaneously with straining to produce penile discharge while defecating. However, if it persists, it would be best to see your doctor for further evaluation and management and to rule out other causes. Antibiotics is not indicated in this point.
Take care and keep us posted.
