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