What Causes Pain And White Penile Discharge?

My soon to be nine year old son complained earlier today that his penis hurts. This evening he had white discharge on his underwear. We are on vacation in Greece and he spends all day at the beach in a wet bathing suit. The bath water in Greece is not as pure as the water in the US. Is the white discharge semen or an infection? What should I do? I m going to put A&D ointment on him. Anything else?

Sexologist,  's  Response
Hi,

It can be due to
1. Urinary tract infections with increased frequency of urination, irritation during urination, lower abdominal pain - urine culture will help to diagnose 2. Urethritis - damage to the urethra from irritation from a product, such as soap, deodorant, or detergent, adenovirus, genital injuries
3. Candida infection can also cause watery discharge with itching. Smear from the discharge will help you diagnose and start early antifungal medication.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. S.R.Raveendran, Sexologist
