What Causes Painful Urination And White Penile Discharge?
Question: Hello Dr. about 4 weeks ago after unprotexted sex I was experiencing pain while urinating and a white discharge from my penis. I informed my Dr. of this and he said that this maybe chlamydia. he gave me a shoot and 2 pills to take. he also had me do a urine and blood test to check if I have any STDs. after about 12 days after finishing the medicine the same symptoms were still present and did not go away. the results of the urine and blood test show negative for everything including chlamydia but show that there's is some "protein" in the urine. My Dr. is sending me to a specialist do you know what this could be? could it be just a simple infection? and what kind of meds are used for something like this? thank you.
