Mucilaginous discharge from the urethra during the establishment 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 of a healthy man. All others can be considered pathologies. They can be the first signs of serious illness. Have you noticed fluid and mucus leakage during an erection? What should be done in this case? If the discharge during erection has an unpleasant odor, other than a transparent shade and contains blood clots, it is necessary to urgently consult a doctor.
Secretion of a healthy man and its abnormalities
When aclear mucus is secreted during an erection, then this indicates the health of the genitourinary organs and is called:
- Urethrorrhea - The fluid, when aroused, has no odor or color. It occurs in the morning after a night's sleep or during an erection before sexual intercourse. Its amount depends on the individual physiological characteristics of a man. Such a transparent discharge during erection helps sperm pass through the urethral canal and contains some male germ cells. It's not a pathological process;
- Spegma - fat produced by the sebum glands in the area of the glans penis. If a man takes a shower in good time and conscientiously observes his personal hygiene, the fatty substance does not accumulate and is washed off without leaving any residue. If you do not wash off this mucus in time during an erection, it will serve as an excellent breeding ground for many pathogenic microorganisms and over time it will acquire an unpleasant odor. This leads to prostatitis, urethritis, cystitis and other unpleasant diseases.
Any other discharge from the penis during erection indicates inflammatory or non-infectious inflammation.
A discharge during erection in men that is a color other than transparent, blood clots, and an unpleasant odor can be caused by:
- Gonorrhea and chlamydia;
- Candidiasis or genital herpes;
- Ureaplasma or mycoplasma inflammation;
- Trichomoniasis.
This is the infectious nature of the appearance of pathogenic fluids and mucus from the glans. The following are not infectious:
- mechanical impact resulting in injury to the head of the penis;
- allergic manifestations;
- the use of drugs;
- adverse effects of toxic chemicals;
- Narrowing of the lumen of the urethra.
With all pathologies, a liquid is released during an erection, which differs in amount, color and smell. This is due to different inflammatory processes, their intensity and origin.
Assignments in these cases are:
- cloudy, if they contain a large number of infected cells;
- thick, with a grayish tinge if they are high in dead dermis and fat;
- yellowish or greenish, which indicates purulent inflammation;
- with drops of blood or blood clots.
In this situation, it is impossible to visually determine what exactly the man is suffering from. To do this, it is imperative to conduct a number of diagnostic studies and analyzes.
What signals discharge in men
Whitish fluids and mucus indicate the onset of candidiasis and are characterized by the following symptoms:
- The head of the penis is covered with a white coating that dries out and takes on a sour yeast odor.
- in this area, severe itching and burning, scabies and pain in the perineum begin;
- Erection produces white mucus. It also occurs during urination and intimate contact.
A transparent secret is typical for:
- Chlamydia;
- Ureaplasmosis;
- Gonorrhea;
- Trichomoniasis.
If you do not take any action, the liquid will gradually turn a yellow or green tint. This is an indication of an increase in the number of leukocytes in the blood and an increase in the inflammatory processes, which can lead not only to prostatitis, but also to prostate cancer. They are accompanied by sharp painful sensations that can appear before sexual intercourse, during the day and even at night.
When an erection is released, yellow mucus is excreted.
This is the first sign that a man is likely to have a sexually transmitted disease. A yellow tint is a sign of the presence of pus, urethral mucus, and an increased number of white blood cells. In this case, gonorrhea is also accompanied by severe pain when urinating, and the mucus has a very unpleasant, putrid smell. Trichomoniasis does not manifest itself for a long time. But after a while, the pain when going to the toilet and in a calm state, especially in the lower abdomen and perineum, becomes unbearable.
Fluids and mucus with blood
Accompanied by infectious diseases such as gonorrhea, trichomonas, candida prostatitis. They can be caused by various injuries resulting from a non-professional diagnostic examination. For example, when using a catheter during cytoscopy or bougienage. However, in such cases, the blood fluid is short-term in nature, has a scarlet color and does not contain impurities.
The presence of blood can indicate the movement of stones. In such a situation, the liquid is colorless, odorless, but only blood clots or ichor. Usually accompanied by painful sensations.
The greatest danger in detecting blood from 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 all day and remains in the form of dried dark spots on his underwear, which are absolutely odorless.
In color, smell, amount and time of discharge, it is impossible to surpass the pathological changes that occur in a person's body. To do this, you need to undergo a full examination and diagnosis by specialists. In addition, if they are accompanied by unpleasant and painful sensations.
