It could be a possible symptom of an STI or it could be something else that is not sexually transmitted. Many STI’s, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, can cause burning or discharge. However, other things like a urinary tract infection or a yeast infection, which are not sexually transmitted, can cause similar symptoms. The only way to know for sure if you have an STI is to be tested. See the STI fact sheet for more information.
