My whitish discharge

I am a 21-year-old student. Some whitish thick fluid usually comes out of my private part. In addition, I also have some pains when having sex. Please let me know the cause and the treatment.

The discharge and painful sex suggest that you have some degree of infection which will need to be investigated and treated. The way out is to see your doctor who will send a sample of the discharge to the Laboratory for a confirmation of the type of organism and the specific treatment to be used. It is equally important to also treat your sexual partner/s in order to avoid a spread of the infection if sexual. In addition, you will need to review your sexual habit to avoid further assault to your health.
