Misdiagnosis and Penis discharge
Antibiotics often causes diarrhea: The use of antibiotics are very likely to cause some level of diarrhea in patients. The reason is that antibiotics kill off not only "bad" bacteria, but can also kill the "good" bacteria in the gut. This leads to "digestive imbalance" where there are too few remaining "good" bacteria in the digestive system. The treatment is typically to use "probiotics", such as by eating yoghurt cultures containing more of the good bacteria. See digestive imbalance and probiotics....read more »

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Penis discharge. Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis. Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- How long have you had the penis discharge? - to determine if acute or chronic.
- Does the discharge come from the urethra (opening where the urine comes out) or from a sore on the skin of the penis? - If discharge comes from the urethra suggests urethritis. If the discharge comes from a sore on the skin of the penis must consider all causes of penile ulcers (such as herpes simplex infection, primary or secondary syphilis, Behcet's syndrome, Donovanosis, Chancroid or Lymphogranuloma venereum) or penile cancer.
- How would you describe the penile discharge? - e.g. pus-like, yellow, green, foul smelling, blood stained.
- Has there been a recent history of excessive masturbation? - Excessive masturbation may cause a mechanical urethritis (inflammation of the urethra) and a consequent penile discharge.
- History of trauma or damage to the urethra from physical injury? - e.g. cycling, horse riding - Injury to the urethra may cause a mechanical urethritis (inflammation of the urethra) and a consequent penile discharge.

- Symptoms of gonorrhea (gonococcal urethritis)? - e.g. pus-like urethral discharge, pain and stinging with urination, redness around the opening of the urethra. Symptoms usually develop a few days after sexual contact. Males who have sexual intercourse with males may also have a discharge from the anus.
- Symptoms of Chlamydia (Chlamydia urethritis)? - e.g. mucous-like or watery or pus-like urethral discharge which usually develops 1-3 weeks after sexual intercourse.
- Symptoms of Reiter's syndrome? - e.g. urethritis (painful urination with penile discharge), conjunctivitis (red painful eyes) and painful peripheral joints. Lesions on palms, soles, penis and mouth.
