During gonorrhea the urethral discharge is
yellow-green and present all the time in
large amounts. People with gonorrhea also
experience a pain in the urethra,
especially during the act of urination.
The head of the penis and the skin above
it become inflamed and painful to the
touch. In your case, if there is no pain
in the penis or painful urination...there
probably isn’t an urethral infection
present. Urethral discharge is not always
caused by infection. Masturbation, riding
a bike or horse, irritating substance(s)
in food (cocoa, beer, wine, pepper, etc.)
can cause hyper-secretion of the urethral
glands that manifest as urethral
discharge.
