Question

A male presented with urethral discharge as shown in figure? What can be the cause?

• A. Gonorrhea
• B. B. Hemophyli Ducreii
• C. Syphillis
• D. HIV

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The question involves identifying the cause of urethral discharge in a male patient. The provided options are various sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

Urethral discharge in men is often associated with sexually transmitted infections. The appearance and characteristics of such a discharge can help differentiate between the causes:

• Gonorrhea: Typically presents with purulent (pus-like), thick yellow or green urethral discharge.
• Hemopilus ducreyi (Chancroid): Primarily causes painful genital ulcers but does not commonly cause urethral discharge.
• Syphilis: Known for causing genital sores or ulcers (chancres), and not commonly associated with urethral discharge in its early stages.
• HIV: Primarily affects the immune system and does not directly cause urethral discharge, although patients may have an increased susceptibility to other infections that do.

The described symptom in this scenario aligns with the typical presentation of Gonorrhea, which is well-known to cause a purulent urethral discharge in males.

Thus, the most likely cause based on the symptom of urethral discharge is:
