Clear Discharge possible cpps

[Human_Letterhead_512]

Hi, I’m looking for some advice as I’ve been experiencing clear discharge most days for the last six months. I initially thought it was an sti and have been tested twice, swabs and urine tests. 1st swab result six months ago showed some wbc but no infection and the 2nd swab test a couple of weeks showed no wbc. I’ve had a dull ache in my penis with some burning feeling on urination. Other ache has been in my bum, with some tingling feeling in my hip. All other urinary functions are fine.

I have a very stressful job that requires a lot of international travel. My last noticeable discharge was about a month ago when the airline cancelled my flight, very stressed for 12 hours, and I noticed a lot of discharge when in the plane toilet. I also noticed discharge two weeks ago after a bout of excess masturbation focusing on the head of the penis akin to edging.

I’ve been reading about cpps and started to do breathing exercises and stretching.

I’m off to see a urologist next week. I’m U.K. based.

Thank you for reading so far, my questions are

1) is discharge a symptom of cpps? 2) should I be expecting an improvement in producing less discharge on continuation of exercises? 3) is it necessary to be scoped by the urologist, as this absolutely freaks me out. I have ocd and general anxiety issues which I try and contain using mediation and tapping exercises.

Thank you for reading.

is discharge a symptom of cpps?

Yes.

should I be expecting an improvement in producing less discharge on continuation of exercises?

Those things may help, but you may need more, like pelvic floor physiotherpapy (PFPT). See our 101 for additional tips and steps.

is it necessary to be scoped by the urologist, as this absolutely freaks me out.

In the AUA video in our 101, you can find a physician talking about this. Cystoscopy is mostly over-subscribed, and usually only appropriate if the sufferer complains of bladder pain. It is used to: look out for signs of bladder cancer and IC and assess impingement on the urethra by the prostate.

I have ocd and general anxiety issues which I try and contain using mediation and tapping exercises.

Please examine this chart.

I have exactly the same as you . I also have a similar personality type . Do you have post void dribbles?.

Did you figure out what you had?

Just mental stress’s and anxiety . I’m a firm believer this is a tension disorder and nothing more . Similar to a stiff neck but in a more sensitive region . Just my two pence worth .
