Patient Question

I have a pulsating discharge coming from my penis, and the tip is extra sensitive. Do you happen to know what it is?

A pulsatile discharge from the penis, accompanied by increased sensitivity at the tip, is crucial to prompt medical attention. These symptoms could indicate an underlying infection or condition that requires evaluation by a healthcare professional. Penile discharge can signal various issues, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Trichomonas vaginalis, or Mycoplasma genitalium, among others. Additionally, conditions like urethritis, urinary tract infections, prostatitis, or balanitis could also lead to abnormal penile discharge. To determine the exact cause of your symptoms, a thorough assessment by a healthcare provider, including a physical examination and possibly tests like urine cultures or STI screenings, may be necessary. Remember, seeking timely medical advice is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment.
