Explanation

Urethral discharge is a medical term that refers to any unusual fluid that comes out from the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. This discharge is not urine, but can be a variety of colors and consistencies, and it often indicates an infection. It's most commonly seen in men, as women's urethras are internal and any discharge is more likely to be mistaken for vaginal discharge. The presence of urethral discharge often suggests a need for medical attention.
