Can Doxycycline Change The Color Of Penis Discharge?
Started taking doxycycline 100mg twice a day. This is my 5th dose. My penis discharge went from clear scant to moderate and yellow tinged. Is that normal or do I need a different antibiotic. This med was given for possible chlamydia infection. No test results yet.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Yellow penile discharge can be related to a chlamidia infection.
Doxacycline itself does not change the color of the penile discharge.
It is the indicated antibiotic to treat the chlamydia infection, so I suggest to you to continue the treatment as presribed by your doctor.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
