Question
It will be hard to ascertain, but if you have no symptoms, it may well be some prostatic fluid/seminal fluid that was exuded due to increased intra-abdominal pressure.
That said, a STD evaluation should still be done, as each encounter should be treated separately.
Do follow up with a doctor if you have doubts at all.
It could be prostatic fluid as mentioned by Dr Winston, or possible infection with Candida, chlamydia, gonorrhoea or herpes simplex virus.
You will need a full STD workup or urine and blood tests to ascertain the cause.
A white discharge from the penis may be:
**Pre-ejaculate
**Widely known as precum - it is a clear, mucoid fluid that is made by the Cowper's glands.These glands sit alongside the urethra. Pre-ejaculate is secreted from the tip of the penis during sexual arousal.
**Semen
**Nocturnal emissions (wet dreams) can be seen as a whitish thick discharge from the urethra.
**Urethritis
**This is the inflammation of the penis. This can be caused by sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea or chlamydia. In this case, the discharge can be associated with pain when passing urine (dysuria), or the frequent urge to pass urine. However, sometimes the only symptom is the urethral discharge.
Dr Theng has given a wonderful answer. Oral sex is generally considered safe but there is a low risk of transmission if there are some open wounds which may not be obvious.
One day is pretty quick for the symptoms you’ve described to appear – so I’m going to work with the assumption that this is not the first time you’ve gone for unprotected oral sex. You have clearly exposed yourself by having unprotected oral sex, so you need to go to an STD clinic ASAP for a screening check-up. If you had sex with your partner after having unprotected oral sex, she should also be screened. It’s important that you do so – STDs can be passed on to your partner and baby as well, if they are not treated.
