Discharge and itchy urethra that wont go away
Dear All
Eight weeks ago, i had unprotected sex with an ex-girlfriend, and two days after that i saw thick yellow discharge from the tip of my penis. i immediately went to a GP and he gave me co-amoxiclav 1g twice a day for a week. after the course the infection was still there, and i went to another doctor, who gave me a shot of ceftriaxone 1g iv, azithomycin 1g which i took in one dose, and ofloxacin, 300mg for 10 days, after we found out that i had clap. the thick yellow discharge was replaced with a cloudy, sometimes clear discharge. after that course, all the common symptoms are still there, white discharge in the morning with a consistent clear urine-like discharge all throughout the day, painful urination, burning itch in my urethra. i went back to my GP and he gave me another round of azithromycin 1g, 2g metronidazole and a 10-day course of doxycycline, 200mg a day in a single dose. again i finished the course, but the symptoms won't go away. he gave me another round of azithromycin 1g. after that i had another 10-day doxycycline course together with 2g metronidazole. still the symptoms are there.
i've done some research and i know i've taken an awful lot of drugs enough to kill whatever i have in my system but still i have all of the symptoms, though the discharge won't pop out unless i squeeze/milk my penis/glans, my urethra still itches. could it be i have something else? how long and what does it take for all these symptoms to go away? my head is starting to spin because of this nightmare.
please, help...it would really be appreciated.

Stop milking it. Milking it will cause you to have a little discharge. Plus it is normal to have some clear discharge. The treatment you received should have cured the clap. You may want to consider getting test for "sanity's sake." I am sure it will come out negative. As for the itchiness, this is most likely psychological. That is not an STI symptom. BTW, ceftriaxone 250mg and 1g azro are the treatment guidelines for clap.

STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.
Chlamydia, an STI, often has no symptoms, but must be treated.
Bumps in the genital area might be STDs, but are usually not serious.
