Prostatitis or fungus?

Hi!
I've been posting in other sections on this forum.
I'm 19 years old and 5 years ago I had unprotected sex.
Ok, I took STD tests and NOTHING was found.
I had sex only 3 times, with the same girl.
She doesn't have any STDs, she was tested too, at that time.
My doctor said I was OK.
But since that time I've been feeling the same things:
- Mild discharge; <--- doesn't happen often, actually every 5-6 months
- Delay at the start of urination;
- Redness at the penis glans when there is discharge;
- I feel discomfort while urinating;
- No pain while urinating;
- No blood;

Any chance it could be prostatitis?

If the answer is YES, is there a cure after all this time?

Any chance it could be a fungus?

If the answer is YES, could it be the source for prostatitis?

Please, somebody answer these questions ASAP (as soon as possible).
Tomorrow I'll see my doctor.

Thank you so much.

P.S.: I'm desperate.

Thanks again.

Tomorrow I'll finally get to see my doctor!
I will tell you all the details when I talk to him and take the tests again!

See you, Doctor.

Hi,

I do understand you are highly anxious.

At this point, I have several differentials in mind. Urethritis, prostatitis, and balanitis.Balanitis usually presents with redness ,pain or irritation in the head of the penis.The most common cause is a yeast infection.Bacterial infections may also manifest as balanitis.Urethritis may present with burning pain in urination and a discharge. Prostatitis may present with straining in urination, increased urinary frequency , urinary discomfort and tenderness in the area between the scrotum and anus.

A fungal infection may cause prostatitis but rarely so. Usually , bacterial infections are still the more common cause.
