negative for chlamydia and gonorreah but still penile discharge

I recently came back postive for chlamydia and the took antibiotics to clear it up and even to Flagyl for possible trichomanos. I got retested for for chlamydia and gonorreah and came back negative for both and havent had sex since, but the penile discharge continues. What could this be and what are the next stepst I should take to get rid of this? Is this permanent?

Sorry for taking so long to respond. I've called many places and nobody tests for mycoplasma genitalium as I know and the discharge is clear in color.

I have no idea what this could be. There is still discharge and I even got my doctor to prescribe me Moxiflaxicin in which I am on my fourth dose. I think I might have caught a rare disease because this isn't go away. I can't pee nor poop and my appetite is now gone.

You don't say how long this has been going on. It takes up to 10 days after chlamydia treatment for the discharge to clear completely. If not yet 10 days and the amount of discharge is continuing to decrease, just sit tight for a while.

Beyond that, I've already answered most of these additional comments. Re-read my reply above. You can't expect detailed answers on a community forum. I told you what specialists to ask for if the problem continues.

Good lucks

Does it matter if only a little discharge is coming out and not a lot?

who should i see to get tested for exactly what this is? The std clinic only tests for chlamydia and gonorreah as far as penis discharge goes? Would you recommend a urologist?

Oops -- I missed your initially positive chlamydia test. Sorry.

You may have had more than one cause, chlamydia plus something else, perhaps M. genitalium? Moxifloxacin may make sense. But my last comments remain correct, i.e. maybe no actual infection, and low chance of any serious outcome. Still maybe a good idea to see an STD or ID expert.

Probably you have nongonococcal urethritis (NGU). Chlamydia causes about 30% of cases and Mycoplasma genitalium around 10%, trichomonas 5%. In half the cases, the cause is entirely unknown. The recommended (by CDC) antibiotic sequence is to first give either azithromycin single dose or doxycycline for 7 days; if the problem persists or recurs, give the alternate drug plus metronidazole (Flagyl) or tinidazole (Tindamax) to cover trichomonas; and for still more recurrences, moxifloxacin, apparently the best drug for M. genitalium. If your treatments have been different than this, discuss it with your doctor.

Some cases at this stage may be due to prostatitis. Infection due to unusual bacteria may need to be checked out. some NGU may not be due to any infection at all, but to non-infectious inflammation. In that situation, antibiotics may not help. However, the good news is that in the long run, most cases eventually clear up, and there are few if any complications -- no urethral scarring, no infertility, no cancer, no known harm to sex partners.

If uncertain about your doctor's expertise in these areas, consider an infectious diseases or STD specialist. Good luck!
