I also have a white discharge! About a month ago my girlfriend got a urinary tract infection,but a few days before that we had unprotected sex! About 2 weeks later i started getting a tingling feeling in the tip of my penis,as it got alittle worst i notice a white dicharge! Now ive been "burned" before and the tingle is nowhere as bad as that,nor is the discharge! I was taking amoxicillian for sinusitus and i notice the tingle and discharge was going away!! About a week after i stopped taking the amox,i started feeling the tingle again,and the discharge is back!II Could i have been affected by her urinary tract infection,or should i be really worried??? PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Hi,
The correlation of the white discharge should be easy. If you developed the discharge after the piercing, it is likely that the piercing may have caused an infection that spread or damaged some structures within the scrotum.
Other causes of discharge form the urethra include, STDs, UTIs, prostatitis, etc. You may need to have a urinalysis done, preferably from a sample collected just after ejaculation. A prostate fluid analysis can also be done. This is to identify the organism causing the infection and may be followed by a culture sensitivity test to determine which antibiotic the organism is sensitive to.
Antibiotic therapy is prescribed for long durations in prostate infections in view of the poor permeability of the prostate gland to antibiotics. The course will be for about 15-21 days and may even be for a few weeks.
Ensure that you keep your fluid intake over 2000 ml per day and avoid prostate irritants, such as caffeine, alcohol, citrus fruits, and spicy foods. Also avoid sitting for long periods of time or on surfaces that are not well padded, as this has been known to cause prostate irritation.
If you do indulge in intercourse during the period of treatment, ensure that you practise safe sex (condoms) so as to not infect your partner.
