Wondering If Klebsiella Pneumoniae Can Cause Penile Discharge?
Question: I was wondering of the condition klebsiella pneumoniae , Can cause a ongoing penile discharge. I have Had a discharge since Febuary and I was wondering if that disease would cause There to be discharge from the penis
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Klebsiella pneumoniae usually causes a lung infection. It is not responsible for the penile clear discharge that you are having.
If the discharge is clear, no burning, no itching, no foul odour and the swab test is negative for chlamydia, gonorrhea etc then its mostly the normal discharge. It seen in all men. There might be some inflammation of the urethra causing a non specific urethritis. Most of the times such discharge reduces on its own and doesnt require treatment.
Some people need antibiotics for a few days. But most important is keeping good hygiene, avoid unprotected sex, wash with a antiseptic solution after sex and urination.
If you develop burning, itching etc then you definitely need antibiotics.
As for now, just keep clean and avoid unprotected sex and see if the the discharge reduces. Small amount of discharge is normal.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.

Wishing you good health.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The discharge you have is suggestive of an infection- can be urethritis or prostatitis. The bleeding on the skin is likely to be due to associated balanitis. It is best to get a culture sensitivity test of the discharge done to find out the cause of infection. Consulting a urologist will be helpful.
Enterococcus is not likely to cause such a discharge.
Hope my answer is helpful.

Urethritis and prostatitis is also treated with oral antibiotics.
Since yours is a persistent infection, it is best to consult a urologist for proper guidance.
