What causes yellow penile discharge with negative GC swab?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had a negative G/C swab. As a treatment, I took two doses of Fluconazole and Metrogyl. What can cause a yellow discharge from the penis? I do excessive masturbation and had sex with two unprotected partners.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Yellowish discharge from the penis along with a history of unprotected sexual intercourse points towards having contracted STDs (sexually transmitted disease). The most common infection is that of gonorrhea and chlamydia, which presents with complaints of painful micturition, blood in urine, pus discharge per urethra, itching, inflammation of prostate and testicles, low-grade fever, sore throat, body aches and flu-like symptoms as well. Mode of transmission would be unprotected homosexual, heterosexual contact with an infected partner and very close physical contact. It can spread from hand to hand contact as well, and from infected mother to the child as well in-utero.

The treatment includes treating both gonorrhea and chlamydia, as they are usually transmitted together. For gonorrhea, Cipro XR (Ciprofloxacin extended-release) 500 mg single dose, or Levaquin (Levofloxacin) 500 mg single dose, or Tequin (Gatifloxacin) 400 mg single dose. For chlamydia, Doxycycline 100 mg two to three times a day for 10–14 days, or Zithromax (Azithromycin) 1.0 g single dose, or Zithromax or Z-pak (Azithromycin) 500mg on day 1, followed by one tablet (250 mg) once a day for four more days. To prevent reinfection, concurrently treat the partner as well. Always have protected sex, avoid unprotected and unnatural sexual activities. Once treated successfully, the infection will not come back until contracted the new infection.
