What Causes Secretion On The Penis With Painful Urination?
I had painful urination, and a secretion from my penis, slight pain in stomache. My first thought was a UTI but I went to the doctors and they told me it wasn't a UTI. They said it could be chlamydia or gonorrhea, but I got tested and they came back negative. The doc gave me some medicine that since then has got rid of painful urination, and sore stomache, but at times I still see secretion. I have also since the medicine got a itchy throat and bad cough. What is wrong with me then?

Hello,
It looks like you had been given metronidazole in combination with medicine for UTI.
Sometimes itchy throat & bad cough are side effects of medicines taken (prescribed), secretion of the penis is commonly due to Chlamydia or gonorrhea infection.
Since the secretion of the penis is there you can take a course of Ceftriaxone or Azithromycin to stay on the safer side under your treating doctor or health care provider.
Take care of your hygiene. Avoid unprotected sex or multiple partners.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
