What Causes Green Drainage From Penis?

We work in a long term health facility. A resident has greenish drainage noted in his disposable brief. No wound of any kind noted. We are speculating that it may be coming from his penis. He is fairly private about symptoms but on occasion is incontinent of stool. He was treated about 2 months ago for H. Pylori. He is blind so he is not aware of drainage. He is 87. We have not discussed with facility physician because of sporadic finding.

Sexologist 's  Response
Hi,

It can be due to bacterial infection, infected smegma. Cleaning private parts daily can help you. Doing a urine culture can help diagnose infection. Doing an ultrasound pelvis / scrotum can help diagnose the internal abscess.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
