Why is my urethral area swollen without discharge or odor?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 19 years old. The area surrounding my urethra is enlarged. It is whitish, and it has a cottage cheese-like texture. There is no discharge or odor. I do not know what to do. I am embarrassed. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It can be a pelvic or sexually transmitted infection or candidiasis. Have strict hygiene. Use soft, comfortable, and cotton undergarments. Use condoms while having sex to avoid having sexually transmitted disease. Have high, low vaginal and urethral swab. After collecting the swab, have one Canesten pessary for two alternate nights at bedtime. So the infection can flow out if you have it. You can have sitz bath if you feel irritated. Collect the swab report and discuss here or with your local gynecologist. You need to treat it soon.
