How long for symptoms to go away

[mdcurious]

Three days ago I went to the clinic because I had frequent urination and some discharge from my penis.  At first it looked like just urine coming out of my penis but then if it settled for a while it looked almost like semen coming out from the tip.  Obviously I went to the doctor and she swabbed my penis and am still waiting for the results.  The doctor perscribed and I took 2g of azithromycin.  I noticed a great decrease in leakage but still am having some discharge if I milk my penis; it comes out about every couple of hours, again it looks like urine but after a while it looks like a small amount of semen.  I am very worried about this.  I still don't have the results back and should hear within the next two days.  I'm trying to figure out how long it will take for the discharge to go away.  Am I doing something wrong?  should i just leave it alone and wait?

oops - it's easiest for us if you just keep asking questions in your own post - less confusing for us in general - thanks :)

no reason to milk the penis - it just irritates it more.

Why not milk it? What does that do/cause? Its been a week for me and still have the discharge a little and feeling, you say it can take up to two weeks to completely clear, is that correct?

i took one dose of azithromycin (2grams) all at once about 72 hours ago.  i'm not on any other medication.

I would wait 2 weeks after you have finished any medication or if your symptoms get worse.

thanks.....how long should i wait before going back to the doctor?

Don't milk to start and symotoms could take up to 2 weeks to end.

I had unprotected oral sex.  i haven't had any sex since taking the medicine.
