Often erection secretion in men occurs in the form of a liquid (in a limited amount), which can be of different color and consistency. The secretion comes from the urethra or the preputial gland and is normal if the quantity, color and odor do not lead you to think otherwise.
If the discharge is atypical, you should think about your health and contact a specialist, as it may be the first symptom of a serious illness.
Secretion during erection in men, which indicates a normal state of health
A common indicator for assessing the health of the genitourinary system is the physiological discharge from the urethra:
- urethremia- during an erection, a transparent secret is produced, which contains a small number of germ cells;
- smegma- produced by the sebaceous glands under the skin of the penis glans (washed during hygiene procedures).
Pathological secretion
The appearance of secretion, which cannot be attributed to normal and physiological, indicates the presence of inflammatory processes in the body. They can be caused by both infectious and non-infectious causes.
The main types of infectious diseases that cause the release of pathological secretions are:
- chlamydia;
- candidiasis;
- gonorrhea; genital herpes;
- trichomoniasis; ureaplasmosis;
- mycoplasmosis.
Non-infectious factors can also cause such secretion, namely:
- damage to the urethra due to mechanical stress;
- allergic reactions;
- taking medication or other chemicals;
- Narrowing of the urethral lumen.
Type of discharge during erection in men
All erection discharges in men can be different in color and transparency. According to these indicators, one can draw the first conclusions about the presence of unusual processes for a healthy body, namely:
- cloudy - directly indicates the presence in the body of an impressive amount of pathogenic microorganisms;
- gray with thick consistency - indicates the presence of dead epithelial tissues;
- green or yellow - is a direct indicator of the presence of inflammatory processes and purulent secretion (in the analyzes there will be an increase in the level of leukocytes);
- interspersed with blood or blood clots.
Examination and treatment for atypical discharge during erection
If an atypical secretion is detected during an erection, it is necessary to contact a specialist and do a complete examination to confirm or exclude the presence of certain diseases.
The initial inspection includes:
- visual inspection of the penis;
- palpation and examination of the lymph nodes in the groin;
- collection of prostate secretion for further laboratory examination.
Based on data from laboratory tests and initial exams, a preliminary diagnosis can be made. If this data is insufficient, the following manipulations are carried out additionally:
- TANK-seed; complete blood count; general urinalysis;
- Ultrasound of Organs pelvic organs and prostate;
- tomography
Based on the results of the examination, the specialist will prescribe the appropriate treatment.
