Penile discharge is usually a symptom of an underlying infection that can significantly impact one’s well-being. Southkenmd.co.uk Clinic offers specialized testing and treatment services to address this issue promptly and effectively. We also strive to provide patients the care and privacy they need to regain their health.
Penile discharge is considered a sign of an infection caused by sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, or, in rare cases, urinary tract infections (UTIs). It may appear as a white, yellow, or greenish fluid and can be accompanied by other symptoms like burning during urination, itching, or swelling in the genital area. Understanding the cause of penile discharge is vital for effective treatment.
Penile discharge can present as:
Based on the underlying cause, other symptoms can occur alongside penis discharge. These might include:
We take a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to your care:
This is inflammation of the penis head (the glans), which is often red and sore. It occurs due to smegma accumulation, a natural lubricant generated under the foreskin. When smegma collects, it can cause a strong foul smell, make it difficult to move the foreskin, and sometimes lead to infection. Causes include poor hygiene, skin conditions or rashes, infections (like thrush or yeast infections) and irritation.
Chlamydia and gonorrhea are the two most prevalent STIs causing penile discharge. Chlamydia is associated with white or cloudy discharge and may be accompanied by pain in the testicles or during urination. Likewise, gonorrhea results in a thicker discharge, which can be yellow, white, or green, and often causes inflammation at the tip of the penis.
This condition involves inflammation of the urethra, which may or may not be caused by an infection. Discharge in urethritis is usually white or cloudy and can occur with a burning sensation during urination.
