Seek professional care if you experience any of the following symptoms
Generally, Pus in urethra can be related to:
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the N. gonorrhoeae bacteria.
A sexually transmitted infectious disease. It can cause abnormal vaginal or penile discharge and pain in the pubic area, but most infections have no symptoms. Chlamydia infection can also cause infertility and ectopic pregnancies and can be transmitted to the throat and rectum.
A condition in which stones form in the kidney and may eventually pass through the ureter (tube connecting the kidney and bladder) to the bladder before exiting the urethra. Small stones may pass on their own, but larger stones may need to be removed by procedures or surgery.
Sometimes, Pus in urethra may be related to these serious diseases:
Epididymitis is the swelling and inflammation of the epididymis, a tube at the back of the testicle that carries sperm. Epididymitis is most commonly caused by bacterial infections, including sexually-transmitted infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea.
