In men, erectile dysfunction often occurs in the form of a liquid (in limited quantities) that can have a different color and consistency. The discharge comes from the urethra or preputial gland, and is normal unless the amount, color, and smell make you think otherwise.
If the discharge is atypical, you should consider your health condition and consult a specialist, as this may be the first symptom of a serious illness.
Secretion of normal health during erection in men
A common indicator for assessing the health of the genitourinary system is physiological discharge from the urethra:
- uretrorrhea- during erection, a transparent secretion with a small number of germination cells is formed;
- smegma- produced by the sebaceous glands under the skin of the glans penis (washed during hygiene procedures).
Pathological secretion
The appearance of normal and physiologically unrelated secretions indicates the presence of inflammatory processes in the body. These can be caused by both infectious and non-infectious causes.
The main types of infectious diseases that cause pathological secretions are:
- chlamydia;
- candidiasis;
- gonorrhea;
- genital herpes;
- trichomoniasis;
- ureaplasmosis;
- mycoplasmosis.
Non-infectious factors can also cause this secretion:
- damage to the urethra due to mechanical stress;
- allergic reactions;
- taking drugs or other chemicals;
- Narrowing of the urethral lumen.
Typology of ejaculation in men
In men, all erectile discharge can vary in color and transparency. Based on these indicators, it is already possible to draw the first conclusions about the existence of unusual processes for a healthy organism:
- turbid - indicates the presence of an effective amount of pathogenic microorganisms directly in the body;
- indicates the presence of gray-dead epithelial tissue with a thick consistency;
- green or yellow - is a direct indicator of the presence of inflammatory processes and purulent discharge (there will be an increase in the level of leukocytes in the analysis);
- is mixed 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 undergo a thorough examination to confirm or rule out the presence of a certain disease.
The initial check includes:
- visual examination of the penis;
- palpation and examination of lymph nodes in the groin;
- Collection of prostate secretions for further laboratory examination.
An initial diagnosis can be made based on laboratory tests and initial examination data. If this information is not sufficient, the following manipulations are performed in addition:
- TANK seed;
- complete blood count;
- general urinalysis;
- ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs and prostate;
- tomography
Based on the results of the examination, the specialist will prescribe appropriate treatment.
