Arora's Assessment
What might be happening
Based on the symptoms you've described, you might be dealing with a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Here are some possibilities:
-
Gonorrhea: This bacterial infection can cause discomfort in the testicles and a white, yellow, or green discharge from the penis. Pain during urination is also a common symptom.
- Testing for gonorrhea usually involves a urine test or a swab of an affected area. Treatment typically involves antibiotics.
-
Chlamydia: This is another bacterial infection that can cause similar symptoms to gonorrhea. It's important to get tested for both, as it's possible to have both infections at the same time.
- Testing for chlamydia also involves a urine test or a swab. Treatment typically involves antibiotics.
-
Non-Specific Urethritis (NSU): This is inflammation of the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body) that is not caused by gonorrhea. It can cause similar symptoms to the ones you've described.
- Testing for NSU involves a urine test or a swab. Treatment typically involves antibiotics.
What you can do
You should see a healthcare provider as soon as possible. They can perform tests to determine if you have an STD and prescribe the appropriate treatment. In the meantime, avoid sexual contact to prevent potentially spreading the infection.
What you should look out for
If you experience any of the following symptoms, seek medical attention immediately:
- Severe pain in the lower abdomen or testicles
- A fever or chills
- A rash or sores on the genitals
