Persistent discharge evaluation focuses on identifying the cause of genital or urethral discharge that continues despite initial treatment or lasts longer than expected. Ongoing discharge may indicate incomplete treatment, reinfection, resistant organisms, mixed infections, or non-infectious inflammatory conditions that require a more detailed assessment.

When discharge does not resolve, a stepwise evaluation is done to reassess symptoms, review prior treatments, and investigate less obvious causes. This may include repeat or advanced testing and a broader clinical review to ensure the correct diagnosis and targeted management.

This evaluation is suitable for individuals who:

Have discharge that persists after treatment

Experience repeated episodes over a short period

Have changing discharge characteristics

Have symptoms without clear test results

Want a definitive diagnosis and resolution
