Some people are afraid of infecting with prostatitis. However, this kind of worry is redundant, because the purely white discharges may be just a physiological reaction.
This kind of white discharge is always appearing in men with abstain life, irregular sexual life, or with frequent sexual drive. This group of men secretes prostate fluids every day, but these fluids cannot release in a reasonable way, and they might restore inside body. When they put in energy to urinate or stool, due to an increasing abdominal pressure, the prostate fluids will overflow by urethra, which can be called as white discharge after urination.
