I don't know if it is technically legal for him to ask for the "complete diagnosis".
I would get a note from your Doctor that states you were seen by your MD, and that your condition warranted being out of school/work from X date - X date.
If he (the prof) continues to give you shit, then go to the dept head or the dean.
It should not matter WHY you were out if you have a legitimate excuse from your doctor that your condition warranted being out of class or work.
You have a right to not be discriminated against based on medical conditions. That is why you should not be required to provide EXACT MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS because there is a chance that telling your professor you had an HIV-related illness, or an abortion, or a mental health issue could lead to discrimination (not saying you had any of those things, but those things often lead to the person who has them being discriminated against)
