Guys are plentiful. Natural and abnormal discharge in men during sexual arousal

Sexual discharge in men can be considered direct evidence of the state of the male reproductive system. Quite often it happens that atypical discharge from the genital tract in men is the first symptom of a serious illness. Moreover, sometimes such a symptom may be the only one. That is why every man should be very attentive to changes in the nature of such secretions.

How does discharge from the genital tract manifest in men?

In medicine, the concept discharge from the penis determines both discharge from the urethra in men, and discharge from pathological formations on the skin of the penis, as well as discharge from the sebaceous glands.

Doctors define three types of discharge that appear normally. At the same time, the variety of pathological secretions is much wider.

Speaking of normal secretions, first of all, we should mention the so-called libidinal (physiological) urethrorrhea . This is a clear discharge in men that appears from the urethra during sexual arousal. Different men have different amounts of such secretions. In addition, the duration of their appearance and the number depends on the degree of sexual arousal. You should be aware that the discharge in men, when excited, contains a small amount of spermatozoa. Therefore, conception can occur when they enter the partner's genitals. Sometimes secretions that resemble physiological ones, but appear in more abundant quantities, indicate the development of diseases. In this case, the causes of discharge in men may be in the ailments of the genital area.

Another type of normal discharge - smegma . This is a secret secreted by the glands of the skin of the head and foreskin of the penis. If a man observes all the rules of personal hygiene, then such discharge does not bother him. But with irregular hygiene procedures, smegma accumulates, which can provoke inflammatory processes. Therefore, it is recommended to wash the penis at least 1 time per day, while washing its head thoroughly.

The normal selection is also sperm . This white discharge in men contains the secret of the gonads and a large number of spermatozoa. Sperm is released during ejaculation during intercourse or during masturbation. Also, sperm can be released during wet dreams. This is an involuntary ejaculation that occurs most often in teenage boys with a frequency of several times a month to 1-3 times a week.

All other discharge during urination, during sexual contact and at rest are pathological. It is especially important to pay attention to discharge with a smell. Suspicious discharge and itching in men is the reason for an immediate visit to the doctor.

Why do pathological discharge from the genital tract appear?

Pathological discharge in men can occur in connection with the development of many diseases. These are inflammations that were triggered by infections or opportunistic microflora entering the body. Also, sexual discharge in men is sometimes a symptom of sexually transmitted diseases, oncological pathologies, a consequence of trauma or surgical interventions. Allocations that are pathological in nature can be scarce, moderate and abundant, contain an admixture of blood, have different shades - from transparent to greenish. Their consistency can be both liquid and thick. The type and nature of such secretions is determined by the causative agent of the disease, the severity of the inflammatory process, the state of human immunity, and the presence of other diseases. Therefore, it is impossible to diagnose, guided solely by the study of the appearance of the genital secretions.

In diseases that are sexually transmitted, the discharge also has a different character. So, at and, as a rule, transparent viscous secretions appear, which contain a small amount. If these diseases are exacerbated, then pus may appear in the discharge. With chlamydia, discharge can stick to the head of the penis.

The appearance of pronounced purulent discharge, which has a thick consistency, a yellowish-green tint, often indicates that the man has become infected. Such secretions contain a large number of leukocytes and appear constantly.

The causes of genital discharge in men are also often inflammatory diseases that are not associated with sexually transmitted infections. provokes them, staphylococcus aureus , streptococcus , Candida mushroom etc. As a rule, pathogens are activated in people with reduced immunity. At candidiasis in men, there is a burning sensation, itching, redness of the skin of the penis. At the same time, whitish curdled discharge appears.

If the discharge appears between urination in small quantities, then in this case we can talk about non-gonorheal . The discharge in this case is usually mucous, with an admixture of pus.

At balanoposthitis purulent or mucopurulent discharge appears in large quantities, while the foreskin turns red, pain is noted in the head of the penis. Mucopurulent discharge is also characteristic of. Their nature and amount of envy depends on the severity of the pathological process.

Several conditions are also defined in which the discharge is not associated with specific diseases. At spermatorrhea semen comes out of the urethra without masturbation and sexual contact. The reason for this phenomenon is the disturbed tone of the muscles of the vas deferens. This condition is often the result of CNS disease or chronic inflammation that develops in the body. Sometimes doctors cannot determine the cause of spermatorrhea.

At hematorrhea blood comes out of the urethra. This is usually associated with injuries, as well as medical procedures during which the injury occurred. Sometimes blood indicates more serious pathologies - malignant tumors, polyps. Blood may appear when sand or stones pass with urolithiasis.

At prostatoree secretion of the prostate is secreted from the urethra. The reason for this phenomenon is prostate disease, as a result of which the tone of the smooth muscle fibers of the excretory duct decreases.

But in general, pathological discharge can be associated with a wide variety of diseases and indicate many pathologies. Therefore, if you suspect changes in the nature of sexual secretions, a man must definitely visit a urologist and go through all the studies that the specialist has prescribed.

How to get rid of pathological discharge from the genital tract?

In order to carry out the correct treatment aimed at eliminating pathological discharges, the doctor must initially establish the correct diagnosis and prescribe a course of therapy that is practiced for a particular disease.

In the process of diagnosis, it is necessary to examine the skin of the genital organs in order to detect rashes, redness, and palpate lymph nodes . A laboratory blood test and urine tests are carried out, a smear from the urethra is examined. If necessary, the doctor prescribes a culture of discharge from the urethra, conducts a digital examination of the prostate, as well as ultrasound, CT, and urography.

Taking a smear from the urethra provides for the exclusion of the local use of any drugs for three days before the analysis. Before taking a smear, you can not go to the toilet for three hours and carry out any hygiene procedures.

With urethritis, etiotropic treatment is practiced, in which the doctor can prescribe correctly selected antibiotics, antifungal agents, and tonic drugs. Local treatment can also be carried out and physiotherapy methods can be practiced. Local treatment involves the instillation of special solutions into the urethra.

For sexually transmitted diseases, complex treatment is practiced. As a rule, antibacterial treatment is prescribed in combination with other methods.

With candidiasis, both the use of local preparations is practiced (the glans penis is lubricated with special creams or ointments) and taking pills (usually containing).

Any pathological discharge from the penis is a reason for a consultation with a urologist. Self-medication or delay in therapy can lead to serious complications and longer and less effective treatment.

Discharge from the genitals can disturb not only girls, but also men. Males have normal discharge that is odorless. Their source is the urethra. In women, the discharge is called leucorrhoea. If you have noticed unhealthy discharge in yourself, urgently go to a face-to-face appointment with a urologist.

Norm or pathology?

The urethra is the male urethra. From there, they appear from time to time. There is such a thing as urethrorrhea. It can be physiological or libidinal. From the outlet of the urethra, discharge of a transparent shade appears. It happens in the morning, right after waking up, or when a man is sexually aroused.

Urethrorrhea may be more pronounced or weaker. The lubricant that is released during arousal contains spermatozoa. Therefore, if you do not want to have children yet, it is worth protecting yourself even with preliminary caresses by the genitals. The secretions in men help sperm pass through the urethra and into and out of the partner's vagina. After all, the environment there is acidic, and this is harmful to the life of sperm.

Defecation prostorrhea can be the second cause of discharge in guys and men. When a man pushes, he has a discharge on the head of the penis that is odorless and colorless. They may sometimes have white-gray inclusions. Their consistency is viscous. These are secretions from the prostate and seminal vesicles. Appearance is possible at the completion of the emptying of the bladder. Then it is called mictional prostorrhea. In extremely rare cases, a man notices such discharge after coughing. It is not a disease, but a disorder that can be cured.

The next type of discharge from the genitals of a man is. It includes the secret of the sebaceous glands of the head of the penis and foreskin. If a man washes, changes underwear and does not wear someone else's underwear, then these secretions will be washed off. And they won't be the center of attention. If hygiene is not so good, there may be an accumulation of a rather large amount of smegma. Pathological flora will multiply and develop there, because the genitals and underwear will smell unpleasant.

Sperm

Sperm - discharge, in which there are a lot of smermia (spermatozoa). Sperm is released during ejaculation, that is, at the moment of peak pleasure during sexual intercourse of a different nature. Also, in a dream, men and boys sometimes have wet dreams, then sperm is also released from the penis.

Wet dreams occur mainly during puberty. This is 2-5 cases per month. But with changes in the balance of hormones, there may be wet dreams even several times a week. If sperm does not flow out of the penis at the time of orgasm, this is called "". This is a disease caused by a violation of muscle tone in the vas deferens. Basically, this happens with diseases of the brain or chronic inflammation in the ducts.

Pathological discharge

The physiological secretions that are normally found in guys and men are described above. Here we will look at discharges that are associated with health problems. Mostly pathological discharge from the urethra disturbs men with urethritis. This is an inflammatory process that develops in the urethra. An infection or non-infectious factors can provoke urethritis.

The infection can be either specific or non-specific. Specific is mainly trichomoniasis or gonorrhea. BUT nonspecific urethritis can be triggered by such pathogens:

• mycoplasma
• ureaplasma
• chlamydia
• herpes
• staphylococcus aureus
• streptococcus

Non-infectious causes of urethritis and related secretions from the genital tract:

• injury, narrowing of the urethra
• irritation with chemicals
• mechanical damage to the mucous membrane
• allergen influence

Discharge from the genital tract in males can be different in color, as well as in transparency. It depends on how active the inflammation is, at what stage it is, what kind of flora is caused. The secretions from the penis include:

• slime
• liquid
• cells of different origin

If there is a lot of the last named component, then the discharge becomes cloudy, which the man himself can visually observe. If epithelial cells appear in the secretions in large numbers, then the secretions thicken and acquire a gray tint.

If you have found yourself yellow-green, greenish or yellowish discharge, most likely, they have a lot of leukocytes. This means that the discharge contains purulent masses, which are the result of an inflammatory process. With the same disease, the discharge can be of different density, quantity and nature. For example, at the beginning of the disease, they may be thicker, and then gradually become more and more liquid. This is such an individual process that during the examination, the doctor will not be able to determine your illness, and it will be necessary to pass a series of tests.

Discharge in men white color may have different reasons. The first thing doctors suggest is the reproduction of the Candida fungus. The disease is called accordingly -. You have probably heard that women have thrush. And in men it also happens, but mostly proceeds in a latent form. But in rare cases, white discharge from the genitals may occur.

Symptoms of candidiasis:

• white patches on the head of the penis
• the head of the penis has an unpleasant smell, reminiscent of yeast or sour bread
• there are unpleasant sensations on the penis and in the perineal region: burning, itching, sometimes pain
• more secretions when emptying the bladder
• reddish spots on the tip of the penis and inside the foreskin
• white discharge at times other than urination
• pain during sex (on the head and on the foreskin)
• sexual partner (wife, girl) complains of discomfort up to pain during intercourse
• the partner has white discharge of a curdled consistency

The second possible cause of white discharge in men is ureaplasmosis, chlamydia, mycoplasmosis. It can also be an inflammation of the prostate gland, the symptoms of which are:

• frequent urge to urinate
• discomfort during bowel movements
• burning in the perineum and urethra
• intermittent and difficult bladder emptying
• sexual disorders

If prostatitis is not treated, then the erection will disappear, and it will also be impossible to conceive a child in the future (diagnosis:). Therefore, if one or more of the above symptoms appear, immediately consult a doctor for a face-to-face consultation.

There may be clear discharge from the penis. The main reason: urethritis caused by ureaplasmas or chlamydia, occurring in a chronic form. When the inflammation process escalates, more leukocytes are released and die (which form the basis of pus, which has a yellow or green tint).

Gonorrhea and trichomoniasis cause in some cases copious discharge, transparent. They have a lot of slime. Are allocated both in the morning, and in the afternoon or in the evening. Also, clear discharge in large quantities can be at the beginning of gonorrhea or trichomoniasis. If a man has ureaplasmosis or chlamydia infection, then there may not be any unpleasant sensations at all, and the discharge begins only if you do not go to the toilet “for a little” for a long time.

yellow discharge- purulent. They contain the epithelium of the urethra, which is exfoliated. There is also an increased number of leukocytes and urethral mucus, which gives the secretions a specific shade. You should immediately be alerted if there is a greenish or yellow discharge. Most likely, you have a sexually transmitted disease (one of the above or others, there may be many variations, a combined infection is also possible, that is, caused by several pathogens at once).

For gonorrhea(one of the venereal diseases) discharge has a thick consistency. They smell unpleasant, reminiscent of rot. They can be at any time of the day. Also a characteristic concomitant symptom is pain when going to the toilet in a small way. Discharge and itching in most cases indicate gonorrhea, but you need to take tests to get an accurate diagnosis.

Trichomoniasis can cause yellow discharge in men. But in most cases, the disease has a latent course, that is, the symptoms will be absent. If there are still symptoms, then there will be, among other things, such of them:

• discomfort in the perineum
• feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen
• frequent and overwhelming urge to urinate
• burning and stinging when urinating

Discharge with odor

The first possible reason (and the most harmless) is a violation of hygiene. As mentioned above, smegma is a normal (non-illness) male secretion. If you do not wash regularly, at least once a day, then smegma accumulates, bacteria multiply in it, provoking not very pleasant odors. These scents can vary from person to person.

If you follow the rules of hygiene, and the unpleasant smell is still present, the doctor may suspect a metabolic disorder. In such cases, the most common cause is diabetes mellitus. Smegma will stand out in a sufficiently large amount, because the laundry will be wet.

Infections also cause odorous discharge in men. Basically, a pathological process occurs in the urethra. A doctor may suspect urethritis caused by a gonorrheal infection. The nature of the discharge is described above. If the discharge from the penis smells sour in men, urogenital candidiasis most likely develops.

If the discharge from the genitals smells like fish, most likely the man has gardnerellosis. The same pathogen in women causes a disease called. But these are very rare cases, in women the disease is much more common. Gardnerella is a conditionally pathogenic flora. It multiplies when exposed to certain factors. Factors for the development of gardnerellosis:

• promiscuous sex life
• tight synthetic underwear (made from non-natural materials)
• long courses of antibiotics or immunosuppressants
• spermicide condoms
• inflammation of the urinary tract
• decreased immunity

Discharge with an odor in men can be caused by balanoposthitis or balanitis. These are inflammatory diseases. There will also be hyperemia, itching and pain of the penis, and sores and wrinkling can be seen on the head.

Discharge with blood in men

The main reason is infection. The discharge can be either completely bloody or include streaks of blood. If the infection multiplies in the urethra, then you will notice such a symptom in yourself, but not necessarily. Urethritis is mainly caused in such cases by Candida, Trichomonas or gonorrhea infection. The stronger the inflammation, the more blood is released.

Blood can be with chronic inflammation of the urethra. The essence of the process is that the mucous layer of the urethra becomes loose. If the irritant acts, then the shell is damaged, blood begins to be released. Even urination can be an irritant.

Probable reason number two is medical manipulations carried out inaccurately. The urethra is injured, and therefore blood is released. Procedures that may damage the urethra:

• catheter placement
• catheter removal
• bougienage
• taking a swab
• cystoscopy

Allocations with blood are simultaneous. It should be noted that in this case, the scarlet blood, without clots, quickly stops.

The passage of calculi, sand is the next cause of bloody discharge from the penis. They are secreted from the kidneys or bladder and pass through the urethra. Microliths are hard, they injure the mucous membrane and the walls of blood vessels, which becomes the direct cause of bleeding. There are also pain sensations.

It also provokes, in some cases, discharge with blood inclusions. Blood in the urine that a man sees when he goes to the toilet is called gross hematuria. Then in parallel develop symptoms such as increased blood pressure, swelling.

There may also be an even more serious cause of bloody discharge in guys and men - cancer. Malignant tumors can be of such organs:

• testicles
• penis
• prostate, etc.

The blood will then be brown or dark, and blood clots will be present in the secretions.

Isolation of blood with semen

Such discharge is called "hematospermia". It can be true and false. If the hematospermia is false, then the blood mixes with the semen during its passage through the urethra. If this pathology is true, then the blood is mixed with sperm even before passing through the urethra.

Hematospermia is manifested by such signs(clinical picture):

• urination disorders
• pain during ejaculation
• discomfort and back pain
• pain and/or swelling in the genitals
• high body temperature

Causes of bleeding with semen:

• prolonged sexual abstinence
• excessively active sex life (during coitus, the walls of blood vessels are torn)
• varicose veins of the pelvic organs
• stones in the testes and vas deferens
• malignant and benign formations in the genitourinary organs
• biopsy
• genital surgery

If you have noticed a discharge from the genital organs that does not pass in a day or two, urgently go for a face-to-face consultation with an experienced doctor. If the discharge appeared after unprotected intercourse, there is no need to sound the alarm, but you need to go to the doctor and get tested as soon as possible. Health to you and your soul mates!

In men, during arousal, discharge from the urethra of a different nature is observed. Usually they do not cause alarm, as they are of natural origin. But there are cases when the discharge is pathological in nature and requires medical intervention.

If a man has uncharacteristic discharge, you should seek qualified help to avoid possible complications.

Natural secretion of pre-seminal fluid

In a healthy man, during an erection, a clear liquid is always released from the penis in a small volume. This phenomenon is considered normal and is not associated with any pathological processes. In medicine, such a natural secretion during arousal is called urethrorrhea, and the fluid itself is called pre-ejaculate.

general characteristics

Normally, such a secret is absolutely transparent and has an average consistency in density. Urethrorrhea is observed not only during arousal, but also during morning erection. Outward from the urethra, pre-seminal fluid begins to stand out during caresses with a sexual partner and during preparation for sexual intercourse. The same reaction is observed during masturbation. The early stage of sexual intercourse and immediately before the onset of orgasm can also be accompanied by the release of an ejaculant. All these cases are natural, and therefore the release of pre-ejaculate should not cause panic.

Such mucus is necessary to neutralize residual acidity, both in the urethra itself and in the vagina. Since spermatozoa simply die in an acidic environment, it is the pre-ejaculate that prepares favorable conditions for them.

In men, when aroused and directly during intercourse, there is a natural release of pre-ejaculate

Number of selections

For each man, the amount of fluid released in such cases is strictly individual. But the higher the degree of excitation, the greater the amount of secretion is released. It can be a couple of drops, and quite impressive volumes of liquid, reaching 5 ml. Some men have no pre-ejaculate as such. The place of formation of the presemen is the glands of Cooper and Littre. They are located along the urethra and produce a secret, the amount of which increases with excitement.

In such a secret, spermatozoa may be present in a small amount. Therefore, coitus interruptus does not always guarantee protection against unwanted pregnancy. Of course, there are no spermatozoa in the composition of the secret itself, but the remnants of the seed in the channels inevitably fall into the pre-ejaculate.

Sometimes men are concerned about excessive discharge of pre-seminal fluid during an erection. In this case, doctors recommend conducting a differential diagnosis in order to exclude prostatorrhea - the release of prostatic juice during urination or defecation.

Natural sperm release

The second type of natural fluid that is released from the penis as a result of an erection is, of course, semen. Ejaculation is a natural result of ejaculation. Sperm has a whitish hue and a viscous consistency. The sperm consists of the secret of the gonads and the seed itself. Sperm is released, both as a result of sexual intercourse and as a result of masturbation. Such secretions are accompanied by sexual discharge.

When a man ejaculates, sperm is released

The absence of semen discharge may indicate serious pathologies and requires a serious examination.

What will tell about the pathology

Usually, the presence of secretions during an erection is not associated with pathologies. But in some cases, you should pay attention to deviations from the norm, as may be indicated by:

• unnatural shade of discharge - yellow, green, gray color will tell about the pathology;
• the presence of blood in semen or urine;
• pus, lumps or clots in the discharge;
• an unpleasant or nauseating odor emanating from the penis, which may indicate inflammatory, infectious processes;
• pain or discomfort that occurs during an erection.

The appearance of an unpleasant odor during discharge may indicate a developing pathology

It is these unnatural signs that accompany discharge during arousal that clearly indicate the presence of pathological processes. Alarming signs are also itching, hyperemia or swelling. In such cases, a man should not be taken for self-treatment or wait for an independent settlement of the situation. The right decision would be to visit a doctor for a diagnosis.

Types of possible pathologies

It is not easy to assess the state of the genitourinary system using only one discharge. But it is the uncharacteristic secret secreted from the urethra that is a sign of some pathologies. And for certain diseases, it is precisely the presence of specific secretions without the presence of other symptoms that is characteristic.

A man should carefully monitor the quality and quantity of fluid released from the penis, both during arousal and in the normal state.

Changes in discharge may indicate the presence of inflammation in the genitourinary system

With the appearance of non-specific secretions during arousal, one can suspect the presence of:

• inflammatory processes occurring in the genitourinary system, which is associated with the activation of the activity of infectious and opportunistic particles;
• diseases that are transmitted sexually;
• oncological pathologies;
• complications provoked by surgical interventions;
• consequences of injuries and injuries.

In such cases, the nature of the discharge may be different, which depends on the type of pathology, and on the characteristics of the organism, the neglect of the disease. Independently determine the type of deviation is unrealistic. A deep diagnosis will be required, which will help the doctor assess the patient's condition and select an effective treatment.

Oncological diseases are also one of the causes of changes in discharge from the penis.

It is advisable not to take any medications, especially antibiotics, before visiting a doctor and making a diagnosis. This will blur the clinical picture and make it impossible to establish the correct diagnosis and prescribe the appropriate treatment.

Hygiene and discharge

Separately, it is worth dwelling on smegma. This is a natural selection. However, in some cases it may be accompanied by an unnatural odor. Such a lubricant is produced by fatty glands located in the region of the head and foreskin.

In fact, smegma is a fat that, in the absence of timely and high-quality hygiene procedures, accumulates and provokes the appearance of unnatural odors. The danger is not the smegma itself, but its accumulation. In the absence of hygiene procedures, a favorable environment is created for the reproduction of microbes and the development of inflammatory processes.

Compliance with the rules of hygiene will avoid the formation of smegma

The problem of abundant synthesis of such a lubricant is especially relevant for men aged 16–25 years, when sexual activity has the highest characteristics. With age, the volume of such secretions decreases. When a man rinses his penis twice a day, the smegma is completely removed, and during erection there is no unnatural whitish coating. If necessary, antibacterial soap can be used to remove smegma.

Often, the accumulation of a whitish plaque with a pungent odor is attributed by a man to the release of smegma, while the true cause may be associated with thrush or gonorrhea, chdamydia.

Ignoring any discharge that differs from normal is quite dangerous. Since they can be associated with diseases that require immediate treatment and threaten the reproductive system of an irreversible nature.

The doctor will additionally tell about the discharge in the video:

The appearance of a secret excreted from the human body informs both about the norm and about deviations. For example, with a runny nose or otitis media, the appearance of fluid clearly indicates the disease. The human reproductive system is much more complex. Allocations in men when excited can report a normal state of health, or vice versa, signal the development of a disease.

Should men have discharge during sexual arousal?

In men, the appearance of mucus in the urethra in some cases is a natural and necessary process. When an erection occurs, transparent discharge appears in the amount of a few drops. They are called pre-seminal fluid, such physiological phenomena are completely normal.

The volume of mucus secretion depends entirely on the characteristics of the male body and must meet certain characteristics in order to be considered the norm. In particular, there should be no excessive density, color, specific odors.

The appearance of a secret occurs in the following cases, leading to:

• Masturbation;
• Sexual caresses of a partner;
• Thoughts of intimacy.

The frequency of occurrence of this phenomenon also depends on the characteristics of the reproductive system. Some men encounter discharge with every arousal, others observe them extremely rarely.

From the point of view of medical specialists, the presence of exudate during sexual arousal promotes conception - it plays the role of an additional conductor for sperm in the process of reaching the egg and reduces the acidity of the female vagina, which destroys sperm. Accordingly, secretions from the reproductive organ are actively involved in the process of fertilization and are considered a significant mechanism of the male reproductive system.

Why is this happening?

• Ureaplasmosis;
• Mycoplasmosis;
• Chlamydia.

Also, ailments are confirmed by the presence of a high level of leukocytes in blood tests.

Mucous departments of milky light with purulent streaks accompany diseases such as:

• Chlamydia;
• Trichomoniasis;
• Ureaplasmosis

In the presence of these pathologies, the liquid can also be released in a calm state, after which it sticks to the head of the penis and dries up.

Purulent discharge

Evidence of gonorrhea. The resulting liquid is yellow with a greenish tint and an unpleasant odor. The consistency is thick and sticky. When analyzed in secret, a significant level of leukocytes is detected.

Discharge during inflammation

Inflammatory diseases that change the composition of secretions are caused by:

• Staphylococcus;
• coli;
• Candida fungus;
• Streptococcus.

When non-gonococcal urethritis occurs - inflammation in the urethral canal, the secreted fluid is characterized by:

• Turbidity and stickiness;
• The presence of mucus;
• Purulent content.

Accompanied by soreness, discomfort, itching.

The disease of the foreskin, balanoposthitis, is characterized by abundant discharge containing a lot of purulent contents. There is redness, swelling, severe pain.

There is a discharge of mucus mixed with pus. Additional symptoms are pain, frequent urge to empty the bladder.

To determine candidiasis, it is enough to study the photo, which shows the secret characteristic of it. It has the consistency of cottage cheese, this form of mycosis is accompanied by reddening of the glans penis, unbearable itching.

Discharge with blood

• Infectious diseases, in particular chronic infectious urethritis;
• Injury to the urethral canal during medical procedures;
• The removal of sand and stones from the kidneys, to a greater extent, blood is noticeable with;
• Malignant formations in the prostate gland, ovaries, genitals. In this case, the discharge contains brown or dark blood, often in the form of clots.

Possible changes in the usual menu;

Presence of comorbidities.

Do I need to see a doctor?

An immediate visit to the doctor requires a secret that is uncharacteristic for a man. Any changes in the structure and color of the fluid require examination in order to identify factors leading to such violations.

Diagnostic measures include:

• spermogram;
• A smear from the urethral canal;
• Ultrasound examination of the organs of the genitourinary system;
• Urine sampling for general analysis;
• Clinical blood test.

Based on the diagnostic results, a treatment regimen for the underlying disease that caused the appearance of pathological exudate is prescribed. Ignoring such signs leads to a deterioration in well-being and the transition of the disease to a chronic form that is difficult to treat. A timely visit to the urologist will allow you to quickly cope with the disease and maintain health for a long period.

There are few women who know that men also have discharge. As with women, they also occur normally in men and are odorless. Only in women it is called "leucorrhoea" and they come from the vagina, while men flow from the urethra. Of course, any pathological discharge indicates ill health and requires a visit to a doctor.

Physiological secretions

The health of a man is evidenced by physiological discharge from the outlet of the urethra, which is observed in the following cases:

Libidinous or physiological urethrorrhea

This condition occurs when clear discharge appears on the head of the penis during sexual arousal or in the morning, immediately after sleep. Their number in different men varies and is directly related to the severity of sexual arousal. But in any case, it is important to remember that such discharges, when excited, contain a small amount of spermatozoa, therefore, if they enter the partner's genitals, she has a risk of becoming pregnant. The function of the described secretions is to ensure the passage of spermatozoa through the urethra and vagina of a woman, where there is an acidic environment that is detrimental to the "gum", and enter them in a viable form into the uterine cavity and tubes for fertilization of the egg.

Defecation prostorrhea

During an increase in intra-abdominal pressure (when straining), a transparent, odorless discharge with possible gray-white streaks may appear on the head of the penis. Such secretions are viscous and consist of a mixture of prostate secretion and seminal vesicles. Similar discharge may also appear at the end of urination, in which case they speak of micturatory prostorrhea. In exceptional cases, such discharge also appears with a strong cough. They are not considered an organic pathology, but only indicate a violation of the autonomic regulation of the functioning of the genital organs.

Smegma

Smegma (preputial lubrication) is a secret that consists of secretions from the sebaceous glands of the head of the penis and foreskin. Normally, if a man observes the rules of personal hygiene, such discharges do not create inconvenience, since they are mechanically washed off with water. But if hygiene is neglected, smegma accumulates, and microorganisms multiply in it, which serves as a source of an unpleasant odor.

semen excretion

Sperm, which contains a large number of spermatozoa, is normally released during ejaculation (ejaculation) at the end of sexual intercourse or spontaneously, in a dream (pollution). Wet dreams are observed in adolescent boys and occur either several times a month, or 1 - 3 per week (hormonal changes).

In some cases, spermatorrhea, that is, the flow of sperm from the urethra without sexual intercourse and orgasm, indicates a pathology when the tone of the muscular layer of the vas deferens is disturbed in the presence of chronic inflammation or brain diseases.

Pathological discharge

All other secretions that go beyond the physiological are pathologies and indicate primarily inflammation of the urethra or urethritis. different, they can be both infectious and non-infectious.

infectious causes divided into specific and non-specific.

• Specific etiological factors include diseases that are sexually transmitted, this and.
• Nonspecific infectious urethritis is caused by opportunistic bacteria, viruses and fungi:
  • chlamydial urethritis (see);
  • ureaplasma and mycoplasmal urethritis;
  • candidal urethritis or urogenital candidiasis in men;
  • herpetic urethritis and others (E. coli, streptococci, staphylococci).

To non-infectious factors inflammation include:

• allergic reactions
• mechanical damage to the urethral mucosa
• irritation of the urethra by chemicals
• injury, narrowing of the urethra.

Male discharge may vary in transparency and color. These parameters are affected by the intensity of the inflammatory process, its stage and etiological factor. The secretions are formed from fluid, mucus and various cells.

• Muddy - if there are a large number of cells, then the discharge has a cloudy color.
• gray or thick- with the predominance of epithelial cells in the secretions, they acquire a gray color and become thick.
• Yellow, green or yellow-green- when a large number of leukocytes are contained in the secretions, they become yellow and even green in color, they are also called purulent secretions.

It should be noted that with the same pathology, the nature of the discharge changes over time.

White discharge

White discharge in men is due to several reasons. First of all, candidiasis should be excluded (see). With this disease, the following symptoms are observed:

• the head of the penis smells unpleasantly of sour bread or yeast;
• the head of the penis is covered with a whitish coating;
• there is itching, burning and even pain in the penis and in the perineum;
• discharge appears during urination;
• reddish spots (irritation, inflammation) are noted on the head and inner surface of the foreskin;
• there is pain during intercourse, discomfort is felt in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe head and foreskin;
• white discharge is noted not only during urination;
• the partner complains of itching and burning, pain during intercourse, has curdled discharge.

In addition to urogenital candidiasis, white discharge can be caused by chlamydia and / or ureaplasmosis and mycoplasmosis, and also talk about inflammation of the prostate gland, which is characterized by:

• difficult and intermittent urination;
• burning sensation in the perineum and urethra;
• discomfort during bowel movements;
• sexual disorders (decreased libido and erection, rapid ejaculation, erased orgasm).

It is important for men to remember that it can lead not only to persistent erectile dysfunction, but also to infertility.

Transparent highlights

• Chlamydia, ureaplasmosis- transparent mucous discharge is possible with chlamydial or ureaplasmic urethritis in the chronic stage of the disease. With an exacerbation of the process in the secretions, the number of leukocytes increases, and they acquire a greenish or yellowish color.
• Trichomoniasis, gonorrhea- also clear, copious discharge with a lot of mucus, which are observed during the day, is possible at the initial stage of infection Trichomonas or gonococci. In the case of chlamydia (ureaplasmosis), subjective sensations are often absent (pain, itching, burning), and clear discharge appears after prolonged urination.

yellow discharge

Purulent discharge, which includes the desquamated epithelium of the urethra, a significant number of leukocytes and urethral mucus, are yellowish or greenish. Yellow discharge or with an admixture of greenery are a characteristic sign of sexually transmitted diseases.

• Gonorrhea - the discharge is thick and has an unpleasant putrid odor, is observed during the day and is accompanied by pain when urinating. A man should first think of a gonorrheal infection if there is a classic pair of symptoms: discharge and itching.
• Trichomoniasis - also with yellow discharge, trichomoniasis is not excluded, although it is often asymptomatic. With severe symptoms of trichomonas infection, in addition to purulent discharge, a man is disturbed by frequent and irresistible urge to urinate, a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen and discomfort in the perineum.

Discharge with odor

Violation of hygiene

An unpleasant smell of the perineum and penis in particular can be observed if the conditions of intimate hygiene are not observed:

• Smegma is an excellent breeding ground for microorganisms that, multiplying and dying, create an unpleasant odor if regular, thorough washing of the external genitalia is not performed.
• In addition, smegma itself may have an unpleasant odor in case of metabolic disorders (for example,). At the same time, the release of smegma is so intense that it soaks through the underwear.

infections

Discharge with an odor is most often observed with an infectious lesion of the urethra. First of all, gonorrheal urethritis should be excluded - thick, yellow or green discharge that occurs throughout the day.

The sour smell of secretions is a pathognomic symptom of urogenital candidiasis. Infection with fungi of the genus Candida provokes the appearance of cheesy or milky white discharge (see).

A fishy odor is also possible., which is inherent in gardnerellosis, which is more typical for women (called bacterial vaginosis), and in men the development of this disease is rather nonsense. Gardnerella belongs to conditionally pathogenic microorganisms and begins to actively multiply only under certain conditions:

• weakening of the immune system;
• concomitant inflammatory processes of the genitourinary organs;
• intestinal dysbacteriosis;
• use of condoms with spermicides;
• long-term treatment with antibiotics or immunosuppressants (cytostatics, corticosteroids);
• tight underwear made of synthetic fabrics;
• promiscuous sex life.

Also, discharge with an unpleasant odor can be with diseases such as:

• balanitis (inflammation of the head of the penis)
• balanoposthitis (inflammation of the inner surface of the foreskin).

But in addition to discharge (not from the urethra, but smegma), these diseases are accompanied by hyperemia and itching, pain in the penis, and ulcers and wrinkling are found on the head.

Discharge with blood

infections

Bloody discharge or discharge with streaks of blood is often observed with an infectious lesion of the urethra. An admixture of blood is characteristic of gonorrheal, trichomonas or candidal urethritis. Moreover, the amount of blood is directly related to the intensity of inflammation.

Often, blood is observed in chronic urethritis (the mucous membrane of the urethra is loosened and responds with contact bleeding to the slightest irritation, including the passage of urine through the canal).

Medical manipulations

Another reason for these is trauma to the urethra during medical procedures. In the case of rough bougienage, insertion and removal of the catheter, cystoscopy or taking a smear, one-stage bleeding may be observed. They differ in that the scarlet blood does not have clots, and the bleeding itself stops very quickly.

Passage of stones, sand

Among other things, discharge with blood can be observed when small stones or sand (from the kidneys or bladder) pass through the urethra. The hard surface of the microliths damages the mucosa and vessel walls, causing bleeding. In this case, the blood is most noticeable during urination, which is accompanied by pain.

Glomerulonephritis

Gross hematuria (visible during urination) is also possible in the presence of glomerulonephritis. In this case, there is a triad of symptoms: gross hematuria, edema, increased blood pressure.

Malignant tumors

One of the signs of malignant tumors of the organs of the genitourinary system (, penis, testicles and others) is the appearance of blood in a man. In this case, the blood will be brown or dark, clots may appear.

Isolation of blood with semen

We must not forget about such a symptom as discharge (hematospermia). There are false and true hematospermia. With false blood, it is mixed with semen during its passage through the urethra. And with true blood enters the ejaculate even before it passes through the urethra. Hematospermia is accompanied by the following symptoms:

• pain during ejaculation;
• urination disorders;
• pain and / or swelling in the genitals (testicles and scrotum);
• discomfort and back pain;
• increase in body temperature.

One of the causes of hematospermia is:

• excessively active sex life or vice versa,
• prolonged sexual abstinence, while during intercourse there is a rupture of the vascular walls in the tissues of the genital organs
• previous surgery or biopsy can also cause blood in semen
• hematospermia appears with benign and malignant neoplasms of the genitourinary organs
• in the presence of stones in the testes and vas deferens
• with varicose veins of the pelvic organs.
