Discharge from the mucous membrane of the erection during erection of a grayish hue, discharge at puberty in young men, involuntary ejaculation at night as a result of prolonged abstinence and, finally, sperm during orgasm are natural fluids of a healthy man. All others can be considered pathologies. They can be the first signs of a serious illness. Have you noticed discharge of fluid 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 it is urgent to seek medical attention.
Excretion of a healthy person and his abnormalities
If aduring erection, clear mucus is secreted, then it indicates the health of the genitourinary organs and is called:
- urethrorea - fluid, when aroused, odorless and colorless, occurs in the morning after a night's sleep or during an erection before sexual 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 contains some male gametes. It is not a pathological process;
- spegma - fat produced by sebaceous glands located in the area of the glans penis. If a man takes a shower in time and conscientiously takes care of his personal hygiene, the fatty substance does not accumulate and is rinsed off 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 acquire an unpleasant odor over time. 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 that has any 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 contagious nature of the appearance of pathogenic fluids and mucus from the glans penis. Non-infectious include:
- mechanical impact, leading to penile head injury;
- manifestations of allergic nature;
- drug use;
- harmful effects of toxic chemicals;
- narrowing of the urethral lumen.
With all pathologies, fluid is released during erection, which differs in quantity, color and smell. This is due to different inflammatory processes, their intensity and origin.
Allocations 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 which situation a man is ill. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct diagnostic studies and analyzes.
What signals discharge in men?
Whitish fluids and mucus indicate the appearance of candidiasis, and are characterized by the following symptoms:
- the head of the penis is covered with a white coating which dries and takes on the smell of sour yeast;
- in this area begin severe itching and burning, itching and pain in the perineum;
- an erection produces white mucus. It also occurs during urination and intimate contact.
A transparent secret is typical for:
- chlamydia;
- ureaplasmosis;
- gonorrhea;
- trichomoniasis.
If you do not take any measures, the liquid turns yellow or green. This is evidence of an increase in leukocytes in the blood and an increase in inflammatory processes, which can result not only in prostatitis, but also in prostate cancer. They are accompanied by sharp painful sensations, which can occur before intercourse, during 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 has probably contracted a sexually transmitted disease. The yellow shade is a sign of the presence of pus, mucus in the urethra and an increased number of white blood cells. In this case, gonorrhea is 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 while going 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 a variety of injuries resulting from a non-professional diagnostic examination. For example, when using a catheter, during cytoscopy or bougienage. But the liquid in such cases is short-lived, has a crimson hue and does not contain impurities.
The presence of blood may indicate the movement of stones. In such a situation, the liquid is colorless, odorless, but only in blood clots or ichor. Usually accompanied by painful sensations.
The biggest 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 discharge accompanies the man all day and remains in the form of dried dark spots on the underwear, which have absolutely no odor.
It is impossible to overcome the pathological changes that occur in a man's body by color, odor, amount and time of discharge. To do this, you must undergo a complete examination and diagnosis by a specialist. Moreover, if they are accompanied by unpleasant and painful sensations.
