Mucous secretion from the urethra during the rise of a grayish tinge, radiation 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 as pathologies. They can be the first signs of a serious illness. Have you noticed the release of fluids and mucus during an erection? What to do in this case? If the discharge during an erection has an unpleasant odor other than a transparent shadow, contains blood clots, then you should urgently consult a doctor.
The secret of a healthy man and his anomalies
Ifduring an erection, clear mucus is secreted, then it shows the health of the urogenital organs and is called:
- urethrorea - the fluid, when aroused, has no smell and color, appears in the morning after a night's sleep or during an erection before intercourse. Its amount depends on the individual physiological characteristics of the man. Such a transparent discharge during an erection helps the sperm to pass through the urethral canal and contain male gametes. This is not a pathological process;
- spegma - fat produced by the sebaceous glands located in the penis area of the head. If the man takes a shower in a timely manner and is conscientious about his personal hygiene, the fatty substance does not accumulate and is washed away without residue. If you do not wash such mucus during an erection in time, it will serve as an excellent breeding ground for many pathogenic microorganisms, and in addition it will eventually acquire an unpleasant odor. This leads to prostatitis, urethritis, cystitis and other unpleasant diseases.
Any other discharge from the penis during an erection indicates the presence of inflammation of an infectious or non-infectious nature.
Discharge during an erection in men that has a color other than clear, 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 leading to injury to the head of the penis;
- manifestations of allergic nature;
- the use of drugs;
- the harmful effects of toxic chemicals;
- narrowing of the lumen of the urethra.
In all pathologies during erection, fluid is released, which differs in quantity, color and odor. This is due to various inflammatory processes, their intensity and origin.
The distributions 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 of. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a number of diagnostic tests and analyzes.
What does discharge mean for 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 and acquires a sour smell of yeast;
- in this area begins severe itching and burning, scabies and pain in the perineum;
- an erection produces white mucus. This also happens during urination and intimate contact.
Transparent secrecy is typical of:
- chlamydia;
- ureaplasmosis;
- gonorrhea;
- trichomoniasis.
Gradually, if you do not take any measures, the liquid acquires a yellow or green hue. This is evidence of an increase in white blood cells in the blood and an increase in inflammatory processes, which can lead not only to prostatitis, but also to prostate cancer. They are accompanied by sharp painful sensations, can occur before intercourse, throughout the day and even during a night's sleep.
When the erection is released, yellow mucus is released.
This is the first sign that the man may have had a sexually transmitted disease. The yellow tinge is a sign of pus, urethral mucus and an increased number of white blood cells. In this case, gonorrhea is also accompanied by severe pain during urination, and the mucus has a very unpleasant putrid odor. Trichomoniasis does not manifest itself for a long time. But after a while the pain becomes unbearable during trips to the toilet and at rest, 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 as a result of a non-professional diagnostic examination. For example, when a catheter is used, during cytoscopy or buoyancy. But the blood fluid in such cases is short-lived, has a scarlet color and does not contain any 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 ihor. 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, testicles. The discharge accompanies the man throughout the day and remains in the form of dried dark spots on his underwear, which have absolutely no odor.
It is impossible in color, smell, quantity, time of release to anticipate the pathological changes occurring in the man's body. To do this, you must undergo a complete examination and diagnosis by specialists. In addition, if they are accompanied by uncomfortable and painful sensations.
