Is Abnormal Penile Discharge An Indication Of Yeast Infection?
My son is having discharge out the end of his penis. He came to me and asked me about this. He says that he is not sexually active, and he does have a staph infection on his face that he is treating with antibiotics. Can this or a yeast infection cause the discharge?
These symptoms and signs are suggestive of STD especially if there is associated with pain, fever, urethral discharge and recent sexual intercourse. So this is the first thing to rule out by doing STD testing. Second, it may be a sign of uroinfection or urinary stones and some other genital infection but this is less common. In every case, antibiotic therapy may be required so the test should be done as soon as possible so that appropriate treatment can be started. Till that try to drink plenty of fluids, avoid sexual intercourse and rest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
