Why Would I Have Penile Discharge For Over Two Weeks?

Posted on Tue, 8 Feb 2022

Question: Hi, I've been experiencing penile discharge for 2 weeks but my lab results came back negative for chlamydia and gonorrhea, what else could it be?

Answered by Dr. Lekshmi Rita Venugopal (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Rule out yeast infection

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Since chlamydia and gonorrhea have already been ruled out, yeast infection like candida should be considered. Microscopic evaluation of the discharge can confirm the diagnosis. Management is with an antifungal agent like clotrimazole.

Hope this answers your question
Please let me know if you need further clarification
