Yellow Pus and Pain During Urination? Get Expert Help Now!

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

The symptoms you're experiencing, such as yellow pus-like discharge from the penis and slight pain while urinating, could indicate an infection, such as a sexually transmitted infection (STI) or urethritis, even without recent sexual activity. Several factors, including bacterial infections or irritation, may contribute to these conditions. STIs like gonorrhea or chlamydia could cause similar symptoms, and these infections can be contracted through non-penetrative sexual contact or even from past partners who were not adequately treated. Urethritis, an inflammation of the urethra, may also result from bacterial infections, irritants, or trauma, causing discharge and discomfort during urination. Additionally, other bacterial infections unrelated to sexual activity can lead to similar symptoms. Non-infectious causes, such as irritation from soaps, lotions, or other products, could also be at play.

It's essential to seek medical attention for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. A healthcare provider will likely perform tests, such as a urine analysis or swabs, to identify the underlying cause. Until you’ve been evaluated, it’s advisable to avoid sexual activity to prevent potential infection transmission and avoid worsening symptoms. Even though the absence of sexual intercourse for nearly a year might suggest a lower risk for STIs, it doesn't rule out infections from past encounters or other causes. Timely medical evaluation is necessary to address your symptoms and ensure proper treatment.

Thanks
