Burning during urination and abnormal discharge from the penis can be symptoms of various medical conditions, including urinary tract infections (UTIs), sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and other urological conditions. It's essential to consult a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
Here are some potential causes:
1. **Urinary Tract Infection (UTI):** UTIs can cause burning during urination, along with an increased urge to urinate, cloudy or bloody urine, and discomfort in the lower abdomen.
2. **Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs):** STIs like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis can lead to symptoms such as burning during urination and abnormal penile discharge.
3. **Prostatitis:** Inflammation of the prostate gland (prostatitis) can cause pain and discomfort in the pelvic area, including burning during urination.
4. **Urethritis:** Inflammation of the urethra (urethritis) can result from infections or irritation and may cause symptoms like burning during urination and penile discharge.
5. **Bladder Infections:** Infections of the bladder can lead to burning during urination and frequent urination.
6. **Other Urological Conditions:** Conditions such as interstitial cystitis or kidney stones can also lead to urinary symptoms.
It's crucial to seek prompt medical attention for these symptoms to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment. Your healthcare provider may perform diagnostic tests, such as a urine culture, blood tests, or STI testing, to identify the cause of your symptoms.
In the meantime, it's advisable to drink plenty of water to help flush out any potential infection and to refrain from sexual activity until you receive a diagnosis and treatment to prevent potential transmission of infections.
Please consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment plan tailored to your specific condition.
Burning pain with urination (dysuria) in a 35 yo man in otherwise good health. This would most likely either be due to an infection in the urinary system (perhaps least likely in a male aged 35) or an infection in the prostate, or a sexually transmitted disease affecting the urethra like gonorrhea or chlamydia. You would need to be seen for an exam including of the genitals and possibly the prostate, an analysis of the urine, and testing for STDs.
