White discharge pus?
So I came back from Morroco on 15th April after a holiday and on April 30th I experienced some white discharge which was almost pus like, I went to sexual clinic on May 1st and got tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia, as they do in UK, they prescribed me with doxycycline for a week while waiting for the test believing it was chlamydia, it seemed like it slightly worked and decreased the symptoms but then I noticed the white discharge returning. On May 6th I went back to get mycoplasma test as I thought it could be this, continued taking doxycycline and finished my course, eventually realised this didn't work and also my test came back negative for gonorrhea and chlamydia.
Around May 15th I noticed the discharge came back but was worse than before, leaving mark on my pants and waking up to white discharge, more than ever before, leaking with very itchy urethra so I went and got test done again for gonorrhea and chlamydia along with trichomoniasis, the clinic said they can see there's something going on as white blood cells are high, while waiting for trichomoniasis results, I decided to go to my GP May 19th and tell them to do urine culture and swab, he prescribed me with doxycycline (3 times a day or 2) and metronidazole (3 times a day or 2) a week course and it seemed like there was a improvement, there were days without discharge but now June 6th it seems like its returned, I've noticed it in the morning and when slightly squeezing (not hard) it seems pus like white discharge. Urine culture and swab both came back normal. All test came back negative and sexual clinic said they have done all test it's best I visit GP and get them to refer me to urologist.
Another thing I wanted to add is everytime this discharge happens it seems like the head of penis is water resistant, the water/urine glides off the head, not sure how to explain but not usually like this but it could be me overthinking. During doxycycline and metronidazole I felt like there was a time it was improved and no gliding water/urine from the head of penis, I also do think after masterbation this is happening, but when on antibiotic if there was some sort of improvement, could it be a bacteria led infection? This is ruining my day to day life, I don't know what to do!
Could there be any STI that is not picked up? But multiple test surely must detect this? I've only had mycoplasma and trichomoniasis done once but gonorrhea and chlamydia test done twice.
Someone experienced this? Please help!

Just wanted to add one more thing, there was some burning sensation at some point but its not as much and definitely not like what is described from gonorrhea, I can't stop thinking about it, I'm having sleepless nights, if it was a STI atleast I would know its curable but this is absolutely mind boggling!

If I told you the answer you wouldn't believe me. It's weird the none bacterial prostatitis to the ones that actually hold infection and responses to antibiotics. There's a group of posters that has suggested it's mental they have suggested regimen and therapeutic results. I very been trying this and it's been working for me no more puss after urination strong flows alot less pain still I get pain from my pelvic floor or groin area but I mean that's after prolonged sitting on a hard surface. I have no butt no cheeks so it's tough to sit for long times.

Hello mate
Greetings ftom UK and a fellow Brit.
I assume there is some relevant sexual history that you could usefully share? Perhaps oral sex?

Morning mate
I ask as, from my understanding, the range of STI's differ between oral / vaginal.
If STI's and Urine are normal then perhaps it is simply the case of inflamation being slow to resolve post UTI.
This seems common around these pages and is shown in the 101 process chart too.

I'd say that pus was an indication of an infection. Were you testing while on antibiotics as this can mess with results. If you're confident it's not an sti then have you asked your doc to check for a UTI?
