Erectile discharge in men often occurs in the form of a liquid (in a limited amount), which can be of different colors and consistencies. The discharge comes from the urethra or preputial gland and is normal if the amount, color and smell do not make you think otherwise.
If the secretion has an atypical appearance, you should consider your health condition and contact a specialist, as this may be the first symptom of a serious illness.
Secretion during erection in men, indicating normal health
Physiological urethral discharge is a general indicator for assessing the health of the genitourinary system:
- urethrorea- during erection a transparent secretion is created which contains a small number of germs;
- smegma- they are produced by sebaceous glands under the skin of the glans penis (they are rinsed during hygienic procedures).
Pathological secretion
The appearance of secretions, which cannot be attributed to normal and physiological, indicates the presence of inflammatory processes in the body. They can be caused by 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 secretions, as follows:
- urethral damage due to mechanical stress;
- allergic reactions;
- taking medications or other chemicals;
- Narrowing of the urethral lumen.
Typology of discharge during erection in men
All erectile discharges in men can be different in color and transparency. Already according to these indicators, the first conclusions can be drawn about the presence of processes unusual for a healthy body, as follows:
- blurry - directly indicate the presence of an impressive amount of pathogenic microorganisms in the body;
- gray, thick consistency - indicates the presence of dead epithelial tissues;
- green or yellow - is a direct indicator of the presence of inflammatory processes and purulent discharge (in the analysis there will be increased levels of leukocytes);
- interspersed with blood or blood clots.
Examination and treatment of atypical discharge during erection
If an atypical secretion is detected during an erection, it is necessary to contact a specialist and undergo a comprehensive examination to confirm or rule out the presence of certain diseases.
Initial inspection includes:
- visual examination of the penis;
- palpation and examination of lymph nodes in the groin;
- collection of prostate secretions for subsequent laboratory examination.
Based on laboratory test data and initial examination, a preliminary diagnosis can be made. If this data proves to be insufficient, the following manipulations are additionally performed:
- THIN SHADING;
- complete blood count;
- general urine analysis;
- ultrasound of pelvic organs and prostate;
- tomography
Based on the results of the examination, the specialist will prescribe the appropriate treatment.
