According to the symptoms you reported, you might be experiencing a genital infection. You might want to visit a urologist who will do a urethral swab and a swab from the glans. The swab might tell exactly what the cause (bacterial or fungal infection) is and determine the further treatment (antibiotic or antifungal medication)
