Penile discharge treatment in London
A penile discharge assessment at Medical Express Clinic is a private appointment with a doctor for men with discharge from the penis, and no referral is needed.
At a penile discharge appointment, the doctor asks about your symptoms and history, examines you if appropriate, and collects a swab and a urine sample for laboratory testing.
A doctor consultation for penile discharge costs £150 with tests charged separately, and the Bronze STI package costs £250 with the GP consultation, examination, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV and syphilis testing and a prescription for treatment.
Bronze STI package results are returned in 24 to 72 hours, and the combined chlamydia and gonorrhoea test costs £104 with results from 6 hours on the expedited service.
If the doctor judges it clinically appropriate, antibiotic treatment for penile discharge can start the same day, before laboratory results come back.
Penile discharge assessments are available 7 days a week on Harley Street, London; walk in, book online or call 0207 499 1991.

Stop searching. Come in.
If you've spent the last hour comparing images online, reading forums, or asking an AI chatbot what might be wrong, you already know that isn't working. What you need is an experienced doctor, a proper examination, and a clear answer.
Penile discharge is one of the most common concerns we see at this clinic. Our doctors are experienced, discreet, and entirely non-judgemental. You won't need to explain yourself at reception. You won't be made to feel awkward. You'll be seen by a doctor in a private consultation room, examined properly, tested, and given a clear diagnosis and treatment plan.
Most men say the same thing afterwards: they wish they'd come in sooner.
What is penile discharge?
Penile discharge is any fluid other than urine or semen that comes from the urethra (the opening at the tip of the penis), and it usually indicates an infection or inflammation that requires medical assessment and, in most cases, antibiotic treatment. The colour, consistency, and timing of the discharge can give clues to the cause, but accurate diagnosis requires examination and laboratory testing, not guesswork.
What causes penile discharge?
Sexually transmitted infections
STIs are the most common cause of penile discharge.
Gonorrhoea typically causes a thick, yellow or greenish discharge, often with pain or burning during urination. Symptoms usually appear within about 2 weeks, but can take months to show, and many people have none.
Chlamydia tends to produce a clearer, more watery discharge, sometimes with mild discomfort. Chlamydia can also be present with very mild symptoms or none at all, which is why testing matters even if the discharge seems minor.
Trichomoniasis can cause a thin, whitish discharge with irritation or soreness at the tip of the penis. It's less common than chlamydia or gonorrhoea but often missed.
Other STIs including mycoplasma and ureaplasma can cause urethral symptoms and discharge.
Testing for chlamydia and gonorrhoea is included in the £250 Bronze STI package. Broader screening is available if clinically indicated.
Non-specific urethritis (NSU)
Inflammation of the urethra without a clearly identifiable infectious cause. NSU can produce a white or clear discharge, sometimes with discomfort during urination. It may be related to minor irritation, organisms not covered by standard STI testing (such as mycoplasma genitalium), or no identifiable cause at all.
NSU is common and treatable. Your doctor will determine the most appropriate testing and treatment based on your symptoms and history.
Urinary tract infections
UTIs are less common in men than women, but they do occur. Symptoms include discharge, burning during urination, increased frequency, and sometimes cloudy or strong-smelling urine. A urine sample will confirm whether a UTI is present.
Prostatitis
Inflammation of the prostate gland can cause a milky or clear discharge, often accompanied by discomfort in the groin, lower back, perineum, or during urination. Prostatitis can be acute (sudden onset, often with fever) or chronic (recurring, lower-grade symptoms). Your doctor can assess whether further investigation or specialist referral is needed.
Penile discharge? Treat it as an STI symptom until testing proves otherwise.
Penile discharge is commonly caused by chlamydia, gonorrhoea, non-specific urethritis, mycoplasma, or another infection. The fastest safe route is clinical assessment, a urine or swab test, and treatment if indicated.
Concerned about a discharge? Walk in today or call 0207 499 1991.
No appointment necessary. Open 7 days a week.
If you're experiencing unusual discharge, an STI screen can identify the cause and get you treated quickly. We offer same-day, walk-in testing at our Harley Street clinic, with results from 6 hours with the £104 expedited test and 24 to 72 hours for STI screening packages.
Book an STI ScreenWhat happens when you come in
1
Walk in or book.
No appointment is required. Come directly to the clinic during opening hours and you will be seen. If you prefer a guaranteed time slot, book online or call. There is nothing on our reception or check-in process that signals why you're here. It's a general medical clinic.
2
See a doctor.
You'll be seen by a doctor in a private consultation room. Not a nurse, not a healthcare assistant. Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and relevant history. A physical examination may be carried out if appropriate.
3
Testing.
A swab of the discharge and a urine sample are collected. These are processed through accredited laboratories with results returned in 24-72 hours. If your doctor judges it clinically appropriate, empirical treatment (antibiotics) may be started on the same day before results come back so you're not left waiting.
4
Diagnosis and treatment.
Once results are in, your doctor confirms the diagnosis and ensures you're on the right treatment. If further testing or specialist referral is needed (for example, to a urologist for prostatitis), we arrange this directly.
5
Results to you only.
Your results are sent directly to you. We do not contact your NHS GP, employer, partner, or anyone else without your explicit consent.

FAQs
Penile discharge FAQs
Do I definitely have an STI?
Not necessarily. Penile discharge has several possible causes including non-specific urethritis, urinary tract infections, and prostatitis. STIs are the most common cause, but the only way to know is to be examined and tested. That's exactly what we're here for.
I've been searching online and I'm more worried now. What should I do?
Close the browser and come in. Online searches almost always increase anxiety without providing answers. A 20-minute consultation will give you more clarity than hours of searching. We see this concern regularly and nothing you tell us will be surprising.
Will my GP find out?
No. We are a private clinic and do not share any information with the NHS or your GP without your explicit consent. Your results are sent directly to you only.
What if I'm too embarrassed to come in?
We understand. But our doctors see these concerns daily. Nothing you show us or tell us will be shocking or unusual. The clinic is a general medical practice; there's nothing about the reception area, check-in, or waiting room that indicates why you're here. Most patients say afterwards that they wished they'd come sooner.
Can I use a different name?
Yes. We're pseudonym-friendly. You can register under a different name if you prefer.
How much does it cost?
Our recommended option for penile discharge is the £250 Bronze STI package, which includes the GP consultation, examination, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, HIV and syphilis testing, and a treatment prescription. A standalone GP consultation is £150 with tests charged separately. Additional STI tests are priced transparently and discussed with you before proceeding.
Will I get treatment on the same day?
If your doctor judges it clinically appropriate based on your examination, empirical treatment (antibiotics) can be started the same day before laboratory results come back. This is a clinical decision made on a case-by-case basis. You won't be left waiting without a plan.
How quickly will I get results?
Results take from 6 hours with the £104 expedited test, and 24 to 72 hours for STI screening packages. Your doctor will contact you directly with the results.
Do I need to tell my partner?
If an STI is confirmed, your doctor will advise you on partner notification. This is a clinical and public health recommendation, but the decision is ultimately yours. We do not contact your partner directly.
