The mucous discharge from the urethra during erection of a grayish tint, emission during puberty in young men, involuntary ejaculation at night as a result of prolonged abstinence and, finally, semenduring orgasm are the natural fluids of a healthy man. All the others can be considered as pathologies. They can be the first signs of 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 smell, different from a transparent shade, contains blood clots, then it is urgent to consult a doctor.
Secretion of a healthy man and its abnormalities
If atransparent mucus is secreted during an erection, then this indicates the health of the genitourinary organs and is called:
- urethrorrhea - fluid, when aroused, has no smell or color, occurs in the morning after a night's sleep or during an erection before sex. Its amount depends on the individual physiological characteristics of a man. Such transparent discharge during erection helps sperm pass through the urethral canal and contains 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 on time and is conscientious of his personal hygiene, the fatty substance does not accumulate and is washed away without residue. If you do not wash off such mucus in time during an erection, then it will serve as an excellent breeding ground for many pathogenic microorganisms, and over time, it will acquire an unpleasant smell. 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.
It is the infectious nature of the emergence of pathogenic fluids and mucus from the glans penis. Non-infectious include:
- mechanical impact, resulting in 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 allowances 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. For this, it is imperative to conduct a number of diagnostic studies and analyzes.
What does discharge mean in humans?
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 odor;
- in this area, severe itching and burning, itching and pain in the perineum begins;
- erection produces white mucus. It also occurs during urination and intimate contact.
A transparent secret is typical for:
- chlamydia;
- ureaplasmosis;
- gonorrhea;
- trichomoniasis.
Gradually, if you do not take any action, the liquid takes on a yellow or green tint. This proves an increase in leukocytes 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 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 tinge 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 during trips to the toilet 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, candidiasis prostatitis. They can be caused by various injuries resulting from an unprofessional diagnostic examination. For example, when using a catheter, during a cytoscopy or during a bougienage. But the blood fluid in such cases is short-term in nature, has a scarlet tint and does not contain any impurities.
The presence of blood may indicate movement of the stones. In such a situation, the liquid is colorless, odorless, but only blood clots or ichor. Usually accompanied by painful sensations.
Cancer is the greatest danger in detecting blood from the penis. And not just the prostate. Cancer cells can be found in the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and testes. The discharge accompanies the man all day and remains in the form of dark, dried spots on his underwear, which have absolutely no odor.
It is impossible in color, smell, quantity, time of discharge to overcome the pathological changes that occur in the body of a man. To do this, you need to undergo a comprehensive examination and diagnosis by specialists. In addition, if they are accompanied by uncomfortable and painful sensations.
