I developed an infection after having unprotected sex with my girlfriend. I started experiencing a burning sensation while urinating and noticed yellow discharge from my penis. I got my discharge tested at a pathology lab, and the report states No gonococci seen, few gram negative cocco bacilli seen, and a large number of pus cells seen. Could you please explain what this means.

This suggests a likely bacterial infection (possibly non gonococcal urethritis). A course of appropriate antibiotics may be needed. It is advisable to consult a doctor for prescription and partner treatment.

Take a URINE ROUTINE + CULTURE SENSITIVITY Test or Take a SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTION (STI) URETHRITIS PROFILE Test
