Symptoms
Fluid from penis
Causes
Infections including gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis
Penile discharge is fluid that comes from the urethra at the end of the penis that is not urine, pre-ejaculate or semen.[2][3]
Common causes include infections due to gonorrhea, chlamydia, or trichomoniasis.[3] In gonorrhea the discharge may be white, yellow, or green.[4][5]
A swab of the discharge is usually performed.[5]
Treatment depends on the cause. Spread of infection is reduced by also treating sexual contacts.[6]
Risk factors include being sexually active men under the age of 25, having a recent new sexual partner, or having unprotected sex.[6]
