What Causes Grey Penile Discharge And Pain During Urination?
Question: Hi,
I have had 3 uretha swabs and 3urine tests that all came back negative. This was after i had a few grey watery discharges from my penis. These where painful and i only had one painful piss and that was two weeks after a course of ofloxacin. Is it right to say that i do not have an std as the gum clinic in glasgow said i could go back to having sex.
I am really worried, my wife wont take a test and this is making me feel like i cant make l cant do it with her.
The doctors reckon i had a bacterial infection and its not an sti. How can i convince my wife to take a test she says she is too embarrassed to take.
I have had two weeks of ofloxacin and just finishing 2 weeks of cypro and doxy. No discharge.
I should add that me and my wife had unprotected anal sex with me penetrating and going to her vagina without protection also. Also using fingers in and out of both. The clinic said thats how i caught epidydimitis.

Brief Answer:
GUM clinic help with counseling
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am happy that urethral and urine tests proved negative. However I suspect the prostate is infected.
Now coming to your question about how should you test your wife is only brief and confidential counseling from the local GUM (Genito urinary medicine) clinic nurse or doctor. This is common with some people are embarassed about testing till a point is proved.
If the counseling could not help then the doctor put the partner on the empirical therapy as that of the other partner and treat them completely without any evidence. If you are loyal to your wife and vice versa both of you would lodge the same bacteria. So your wife should be put on the same set of antibiotics.
So you should not worry about testing, but should be encourage her for complete treatment.
Hope this helps.
