Prostatitis : Prostatitis or urethritis are a possibility. You should have a medical evaluation to test for these possibilities. Your symptoms are concerning, especially that your urine appears thick and that you are having discharge from your penis. Please have a medical evaluation. If you develop fever, pain, or vomiting then you must be seen as an emergency.

Need a urine culture: You need both a urine culture (called a c&s) as well as testing for stds. Kidney stones feel like someone is stabbing you in the back and are amazingly painful continually, not only when you are urinating. For the diagnosis of prostatitis, you would need to actually have the prostate milked vis your rectum, a rather unpleasant test.
