What is the reason for yellow discharge from underwear?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Yellow discharge in underwear, dry. No pain or itching. Hope to understand the cause and treatment.

Doctor's answer:

If you are sure it is yellow discharge or purulent discharge, it cannot be ruled out as a urinary tract infection. The intermittent occurrence may be because the condition is not serious, but during the safe period, it is still recommended to undergo a check-up.
The first test to be performed is to collect urethral secretions in the morning for a smear test. If necessary, a bacterial culture test may also be required. If there is no discharge at the time of the test, a cotton swab can be used to collect from the urethral opening for examination.
Recommendation: Underwear and pants should not be washed with shoe soles or socks. It is best to use a separate laundry container for underwear. After washing, underwear and pants should be exposed to sunlight for drying.
