What are the reasons for secretions at the urethral orifice?

Patient's question:

What is the reason for discharge from the urethral opening? Itchy urethra with white discharge. I had this before, but it got better after taking medication. Is it related to frequently holding in urine?

Doctor's answer:

Can be caused by non-gonococcal urethritis: Non-gonococcal urethritis is a common urethral infectious disease in men, with the main transmission route being through sexual activity, so it is also classified as a sexually transmitted disease. Its pathogens include bacteria, chlamydia, mycoplasma, trichomonas, and herpes simplex virus, etc. The typical symptoms of non-gonococcal urethritis are increased urethral discharge, urinary pain, and urethral itching.
