Dripping Dick

Being a male, sometimes you might notice some discharge or drip from your dick. While a dripping dick may be normal, there may be other causes for it, too, like an STD. It can be considered normal when you pre-ejaculate or ejaculate. But in other instances, a dripping dick may be a cause of alarm.

So, unless you are sexually aroused, a dripping dick could be due to UTI, balanitis, or urethritis. Both balanitis and urethritis can be caused due to reasons like STDs. These include chlamydia, gonorrhea, and herpes. Balanitis will cause inflammation of the penis’ head accompanied by pain while urinating and itching. Similarly, urethritis may cause yellowish discharge and the need to urinate most of the time. Although UTI is not an STD, it will, more or less, show similar symptoms of both.

Therefore, if you have a dripping dick, it is advisable that you get yourself tested for STD. You will never know if it’s actually a cause of concern or not unless you let a doctor deal with it. If it happens to be an STD, you will be able to get proper treatments at the right time before it becomes anything serious.

According to the CDC, chlamydia is the most reported STD in the US. It is worth noting that some STDs like chlamydia almost always don’t show any symptoms until much later. So, whether you have a dripping dick or not, you might want to get tested for STDs. This is especially pertinent if you may have come in contact with a person who is infected with an STD. But then again, if you are just getting into a new relationship, make sure that you get yourself tested for a STD first. This way, you can keep a check on your health and prevent any infection to your partner, too.
