Hello

Thanks for getting back

If all sexually transmitted diseases are ruled out then I think the discharge is because of non specific prostatitis/urethritis

Here is how I would go about it

1. Send culture of the white discharge along with urine routine
2. I would still treat with antibiotics like Tab Cotrimaxozole twice daily for 7 days
3. Avoid sex and masturbation until better
