White, painless discharge in penis
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!

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 *****.
Have these questions been answered?? If so how do I see the answers? Please help Im new here and Im having the white-yellowish painless discharge, a slight itch inside(very occasional), and discomfort during urination. WHAT IS THIS??? PLEASE HELP!!!!
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.

I still have this issue now. and wow as much as it ***** i am glad i am not alone...i have come to a conclusion. i think it is candida. a male yeast infection.. it just makes sense. and oen of my partners got oral thrush on her tongue. so i am gunning for candida. and yes i went to a urologist and spent mad mone yand all tests were negative for any urinary infection. no nsu. I truly believe it is candida.. so here is a test fellas,. The spit test mine came out positive. Take a glass of water 8 ounces whatever in a clear glass. set it next to your bed when you go to sleep. first thign when you wake up spit in the glass and give it about 15 mins or so and watch... yoru spit if positive will bunch up at the bottom of the glass and there will be strings from the top layer of spit to hanging and spidering downward. you can look thsi test up online and read it for yourselves but mine did exactly that. I posted in another forum on here just now asking about candida. I will give you guys a heads up when i get a reply. this is going on a year now for me. im tired of it.
oh and the urologist just told me this is a natural occurance. the drip that is. he said osme men get it from the prostate even if it checks out fine.. he said i am clean and not to worry bout it. but then i read of candida cause i saw it on a show on tv andi was like no SH##$!@! so post away and l;et me know if you guys have come to any conclusions or your doctors have. ttys
