Mucous discharge from the urethra during erection of a grayish tint, emission during puberty in young men, involuntary ejaculation at night due to prolonged abstinence, and finally sperm during orgasm are fluidsof a healthy man. All the others can be seen as pathologies. They can be the first signs of a serious illness. Have you noticed the discharge of fluids and mucus during an erection? What to do in this case? If the discharge during erection has an unpleasant odor, other than a transparent shade, contains blood clots, it is necessary to urgently consult a doctor.
Secretion of a healthy man and its anomalies
If atransparent mucus is secreted during an erection, so this indicates the health of the genitourinary organs and is called:
- urethrorrhea - fluid, when excited, has no smell and color, manifests itself in the morning after a night's sleep or during an erection before intercourse. Its quantity depends on the individual physiological characteristics of a man. Such 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. If a man takes a shower in a timely manner and is conscientious about his personal hygiene, the fatty substance does not accumulate and is washed off without leaving any residue. If you do not wash off such mucus during an erection in time, then it will serve as an excellent breeding ground for many pathogenic microorganisms and, in addition, 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 has a 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 emergence of pathogenic fluids and mucus from the glans penis. Non-infectious include:
- mechanical impact, leading to injury to the head of the penis;
- manifestations of an allergic nature;
- the use of drugs;
- 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 allocations in these cases are:
- cloudy if they contain a large number of infected cells;
- thick, with a grayish tint, when they have a high content of dead and fat dermis;
- yellowish or greenish, which indicates the presence of purulent inflammation;
- containing blood drops 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 conduct a series of diagnostic studies and analyzes.
What does discharge signal 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, which dries up and acquires a sour yeasty smell;
- in this area, severe itching and burning, scabies and pain in the perineum begin;
- an erection produces white mucus. It also occurs during urination and intimate contact.
A transparent secret is typical of:
- chlamydia;
- ureaplasmosis;
- gonorrhea;
- trichomoniasis.
Gradually, if you do not take any measurements, 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 provoke not only prostatitis, but also prostate cancer. They are accompanied by strong painful sensations, they can occur before sexual intercourse, during the day, and even during night 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 the presence of pus, urethral mucus, and an increase in the number of white blood cells. 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 on trips to the toilet and in a calm state, especially in the lower abdomen and 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 unprofessional diagnostic examination. For example, when using a catheter, during cytoscopy 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 can indicate the movement of the stones. In such a situation, the liquid is colorless, odorless, but only blood clots or ichor. Usually accompanied by painful sensations.
The biggest danger in detecting blood from the penis is cancer. And not just the prostate gland. Cancer cells can be present in the kidneys, ureters, bladder, testes. The discharge accompanies the man all day and remains in the form of dry dark spots on the underwear, which have absolutely no smell.
It is impossible by color, smell, quantity, time of discharge to overcome the pathological changes that occur in the body of a man. To do this, it is necessary to undergo a comprehensive examination and diagnosis by specialists. Also, if they are accompanied by unpleasant and painful sensations.
