Going by the color etc., it does sound as though you may just have a yeast/fungal infection. However without an actual Urethral swab and urine analysis, it's just a guess, as this can also indicate possible Chlamydia as well. I would suggest eating a couple of yogurts a day, but I will still say see your doctor as if it is Chlamydia you will need a course of antibiotics and I would rather you confirm this prior to just trying to treat this with an OTC fungal medication, which may cause further irritation.

Best of luck Hun, Hope this helps, If you need anything else please feel free to ask. If you found this helpful don’t forget to click the *ACCEPT* button and leave *POSITIVE* feedback.
