Q: Characteristics of a bacterial urethral infection
asked by: DoctorQuestion on December 7th, 2008
hi
im bob,thank you for your answers before,please tell me about penile discharge how it will be,sticky or tell the nature.it will come automatically without squeezing penis?because i had transparent sticky fluid coming in my penis after wake up.it wont come in the other time,only after woke up or after 6 to 7 hours of urination.it wont come normally if i squeeze my penis it will come,because i heard about penile discharge is symptom of std.i dont know what is that is it penile discharge or any fluid?i dont have any symptoms at all.i had protected sex before 5 months,but at last when i took out my penis,condom went into her,so i got afraid of that, i took test for chlamydia, urithritis, syphillis ,hiv,everything negative.you already told me it is not due to chlamydia.so please tell me it is due to any other std?or some fluid?

The discharge from bacterial urethral infection can come out both by itself and when the penis is squeezed. The discharge is sticky. It can be accompanied with pus which is completely white. The discharge might actually help to determine the exact cause. A urethral swab with antibiogram might turn out to be an ideal solution for this problem. The urethral swab will tell the exact cause and the antibiogram will tell the recommended treatment.


If the tests for Chlamydia, urethritis, syphilis, and HIV were negative, than the infection was not caused by these microorganisms. However, other bacteria and fungi might have caused the infection. Very common causes for vaginal infection are the bacteria Escherichia coli and the fungi Candida albicans. Many women might even not be aware of the infection because they mistake the symptoms for something else.
