Mucosal discharge from the urethra during gray-tinted erection, 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 seen as pathologies. They can be the first signs of serious illness. Did you notice the secretion of fluids and mucus during an erection? What to do in this case? If the secretion during erection has an unpleasant odor, other than a transparent tone, contains blood clots, then it is necessary to consult an urgent doctor.
Secretion of a healthy man and his abnormalities
If onetransparent mucus is secreted during an erection, then this indicates the health of Organs genitourinary organs and is called:
- urethrorrhea - the fluid, when excited, has no smell or color, occurs in the morning after a night's sleep or during an erection before sexual intercourse. Their quantity depends on the individual physiological characteristics of a man. This transparent discharge during erection helps the sperm to 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 region of the penis glans. If a man bathes in a timely manner and takes care of personal hygiene, the greasy substance does not accumulate and is washed without leaving any residue. If you do not wash this mucus during an erection in time, it will serve as an excellent breeding ground for many pathogenic microorganisms and, in addition, it will acquire an unpleasant odor over time. This leads to prostatitis, urethritis, cystitis and other unpleasant illnesses.
Any other secretion from the penis during erection indicates the presence of inflammation of an infectious or non-infectious nature.
The discharge during erection in men, which has any color other than transparent, blood clots and an unpleasant odor can be caused by:
- gonorrhea and chlamydia;
- candidiasis or genital herpes;
- inflammation of the ureaplasma or mycoplasma;
- trichomoniasis.
This is the infectious nature of the emergence of pathogenic fluids and mucus from the glans. Non-infectious includes:
- mechanical impact, leading to lesions on the head of the penis;
- manifestations of an allergic nature;
- the use of medications;
- harmful effects of toxic chemicals;
- narrowing of the lumen of the urethra.
In all pathologies, during an erection, a liquid is released that 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 grayish hue, 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 with. For this, it is essential to carry out a series of studies and diagnostic analyses.
What does discharge in men signal?
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 layer, which dries and takes on an acidic yeast odor;
- in this area, intense itching and burning, scabies, and pain in the perineum begin;
- the 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 don't take any measurements, the liquid will take on a yellow or green hue. This is evidence of an increase in blood leucocytes and inflammatory processes, which can result not only in prostatitis but also in prostate cancer. They are accompanied by acute painful sensations, they can occur before sexual intercourse, throughout the day and even during the night of sleep.
When an erection is released, a yellow mucus is secreted.
This is the first sign that a man may have contracted a sexually transmitted disease. A yellow color is a sign of the presence of pus, urethral mucus, and an increased white blood cell count. 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 for a long time. But after a while, the pain becomes unbearable when going to the bathroom and in a state of calm, especially in the lower abdomen and in the perineum.
Fluids and mucus with blood
Accompanied by infectious diseases, eg 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. But the blood fluid in such cases is of a temporary nature, has a scarlet hue and contains no impurities.
The presence of blood may 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 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, testicles. The secretion accompanies the man all day and remains in the form of dark spots on his underwear, which have absolutely no smell.
It is impossible in color, smell, quantity, discharge time to overcome the pathological changes that occur in a man's body. To do this, you need to undergo a thorough examination and diagnosis by specialists. In addition, if they are accompanied by uncomfortable and painful sensations.
