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 notice this same white discharge for like 5 months now and I have also don loads of antibiotic treatments it's not painful but it's embarrassing cos of the tiny discharge. I improved on my condom use and trying to get a steady partner. But I will try the garlic n cranberry to see if it helps. Mine stopped awhile n just returned. I strongly feel masturbation irritates it further. Stop masturbation too. Cheers

Calm down guys. You have to ask yourself if you haven't had sex in a while (different for every male, depending on diet and level of activeness) and you have not masturbated either, then the painless discharge is your bodies way of naturally releasing the excess semen production. It is a common occurrence in cultures and religions that practice abstinence. you are perfectly normal and there is no need to pay for expensive dr. visits and medication. *Use your best judgment in taking actions about your body*

Hi guys
I'm 27. Had it in 2009. I first noticed it while escriting and that's the only time I experience it.  took an anti biotic and it stopped but now it's back.  I didn't do research on it back then,  just told my family doctor and she told me to take anti biotics. Just curious what it was since most pple don't know what exactly it is.  Will go on d same medication and see how it goes.
