Hi,

These symptoms and signs are suggestive of STD, especially if there is associated pain, fever, urethral discharge, and recent sexual intercourse. So, this is the first thing to rule out by doing STD testing. Second, it may be a sign of uroinfection or urinary stones and some other genital infection but this is less common. Finally, some hormonal imbalance issues may lead to a discharge as we can see in PCOS or hyper estrogenic conditions.

In every case, antibiotic therapy may be required so test should be done as soon as possible so that appropriate treatment can be started. Till that try to drink plenty of fluids, avoid sexual intercourse, and rest.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
