What Do Discharge From The Penis And Pain During Urination Indicate?
Question: I am very concerned i have woken up today with discharge from my penis And it hurts a little bit when i urinate. Should i be worried ?
Brief Answer:
Yes, it may be a possible STI or a urinary tract infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your health query.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.
Discharge from the penis means sexually transmitted infection (if you are sexually active) or a urinary tract infection. In both ways you will need to do some labs to rule out or confirm these infections and then take the needed treatment with antibiotics.
The labs you need to do are:
-- Urine analyse and if positive then do also urine culture.
-- Check for Gonorrhea, chlamydia and trichomonas in urine or urethral swab.
-- Check for HIV and syphilis in the blood.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please close and rate the answer.
Regards,
