Mucous discharge from the urethra during erection of a grayish tinge, emission during puberty in young men, involuntary ejaculation at night as a result of prolonged abstinence, and finally sperm during orgasm are the natural fluids ofa healthy man. All others can be seen as pathologies. They can be the first signs of a serious illness. Have you noticed fluid and mucus discharge during an erection? What to do in this case? If the discharge during erection has an unpleasant odor, different from a transparent shade, contains blood clots, then it is urgent to consult a doctor.
Secretion of a healthy man and its anomalies.
If aclear mucus is secreted during an erection, so this indicates the health of the genitourinary organs and is called:
- urethrorhea: the liquid, when excited, has no odor or color, occurs in the morning after a night's sleep or during an erection before sexual intercourse. Its quantity depends on the individual physiological characteristics of a man. This clear discharge during erection helps sperm pass through the urethral canal and contains some male germ cells. It is not a pathological process;
- spegma - fat produced by the sebaceous glands located in the glans area of the penis. If a man takes a shower in a timely manner and is conscious of his personal hygiene, the fatty substance does not accumulate and washes off without leaving a residue. If the mucus is not washed off during an erection in time, it will serve as an excellent breeding ground for many pathogenic microorganisms and, in addition, it will acquire an unpleasant odor over time. This leads to prostatitis, urethritis, cystitis, and other unpleasant diseases.
Any other discharge from the penis during erection indicates the presence of inflammation of an infectious or non-infectious nature.
Discharge during erection in men, which is any color other than transparent, blood clots, and an unpleasant odor can be caused by:
- gonorrhea and chlamydia;
- candidiasis or genital herpes;
- inflammation of ureaplasma or mycoplasma;
- trichomoniasis.
This is the infectious nature of the appearance of pathogenic fluids and mucus from the glans penis. Non-infectious include:
- mechanical impact, causing injury to the head of the penis;
- manifestations of an allergic nature;
- the use of medications;
- harmful effects of toxic chemicals;
- narrowing of the lumen of the urethra.
With all pathologies, during an erection, a liquid is released, which differs in quantity, color and smell. This is due to different inflammatory processes, their intensity and origin.
The assignments in these cases are:
- cloudy if they contain a large number of infected cells;
- thick, with a grayish tinge, when they have a high content of dead dermis and fat;
- yellowish or greenish, indicating the presence of purulent inflammation;
- containing drops of blood or blood clots.
It is impossible to visually determine in this situation what exactly the man is sick with. For this, it is imperative to carry out a series of studies and diagnostic analyzes.
What signals discharge in men?
Whitish fluids and mucus indicate the onset of yeast infection and are characterized by the following symptoms:
- the head of the penis is covered with a white coating, which dries up and takes on a sour yeast smell;
- in this area, severe itching and burning, scabies and pain in the perineum begin;
- the erection produces white mucus. It also occurs during urination and intimate contact.
A transparent secret is typical of:
- chlamydia;
- ureaplasmosis;
- gonorrhea;
- trichomoniasis.
Little by little, if you do not take any action, the liquid takes on a yellow or green tint. This is evidence of an increase in leukocytes in the blood and an increase in inflammatory processes, which can result not only in prostatitis, but also in prostate cancer. They are accompanied by acute painful sensations, they can occur before intercourse, during the day, and even during nighttime sleep.
When an erection is released, yellow mucus is secreted.
This is the first sign that a man is likely to have contracted a sexually transmitted disease. A yellow tint is a sign of pus, urethral mucus, and an increased white blood cell count. In this case, gonorrhea is also accompanied by severe pain when urinating, and the mucus has a very unpleasant rotten smell. Trichomoniasis does not manifest itself for a long time. But after a while, the pain becomes unbearable during trips to the bathroom and in a calm state, especially in the lower abdomen and in the perineum.
Fluids and mucus with blood.
Accompanied by infectious diseases, for example, gonorrhea, Trichomonas, candidal prostatitis. They can be caused by various injuries resulting from an unprofessional diagnostic examination. For example, when using a catheter, during cystoscopy or bougienage. But the blood fluid in such cases is short-term in nature, has a scarlet tint and does not contain impurities.
The presence of blood may indicate the movement of stones. In such a situation, the liquid is colorless, odorless, but only blood clots or ichor. It is usually accompanied by painful sensations.
The greatest danger in detecting blood in the penis is cancer. And not just the prostate. Cancer cells can be present in the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and testicles. The discharge accompanies the man throughout the day and remains in the form of dry dark spots on his underwear, which have absolutely no odor.
It is impossible in color, smell, quantity, discharge time to overcome the pathological changes that occur in the body of a man. To do this, he must undergo a complete examination and diagnosis by specialists. Also, if they are accompanied by uncomfortable and painful sensations.
