Brief Answer:
Not likely to be an STD

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

Pertaining to a one time discharge, I would not necessary conclude towards an STD. The most common worry is that of gonorrhea in case of a whitish discharge from the penis. Gonorrhea is accompanied by burning and painful urination with irritation sensation in urethra combined with persistent discharge that doesn't subside till treatment is initiated. The diagnosis gonorrhea is by gram staining followed by culture and sensitivity testing of the urine. The PCR or Polymerase chain reaction test is a highly sensitive test for detecting gonorrhea. If its this single episode then based on clinical clues and history , I would not go for hefty workup. If the discharge recurs or there is associated urethral irritation then PCR can be advised. Azithromycin can be given empirically to treat for Gonorrhea and if there is associated itching /irritation of urethra then antifungals should also be added for candida cover in consult with your doctor.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks

Please consult your doctor before deciding on any further course of action.
