Question:
I am a 24 year old male and I periodically notice a thick white discharge in my urine. I first notice the problem a few years ago and was tested and treated for stds but the tests came back negative. When consulting a specialist, they discovered I had an abnormal kidney with two ureters. I had a minor surgery to open a ureterocele in my bladder but this still hasn't solved my problem. I have a feeling that the strange kindney my just be incidental and my problem may lie in my reproductive system.

Also I have wet dreams once or twice a week and I wonder if this is unrelated or if, perhaps, a natural way of trying to expell something foreign? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for contacting sexualhealth.com for help. Your first problem - that is, the occasional thick white discharge in urine and its relationship with the ureteral duplication is better answered by a urologist. Please consult one. Thick white (milky) discharge can for example be due to Chyluria wherein a milky lymphatic fluid passes along with urine. Chyluria can be treated.

Having wet dreams (nocturnal emissions) is a healthy natural phenomenon experienced by most men beginning sometime during the adolescence. Scientists consider this as a nature's way of testing the intactness of the mechanism of a man's sexual apparatus. What is discharged during the wet dreams is nothing but semen that you ejaculate during sexual intercourse or masturbation. This probably has nothing to do with the thick white fluid you find in urine. It helps to get the urine sample containing the white substance tested in a laboratory (The urologist will order this and all other necessary tests).
