Few women know that men also graduate. As with women, men also usually occur and are odorless. Only in women it is called "leucorrhoea" and they appear from the vagina but the men slide out of the urethra. Of course, all pathological discharge indicates poor health and need to see a doctor.
Physiological discharge
Male health is demonstrated by physiological release from the urethra, which is seen in the following cases:
Small or physiological urethra
This condition occurs when transparent discharge appears during sexual arousal or in the morning, immediately after bedtime. 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 a discharge, when excreted, contains a small amount of sperm, so that if they reach the genitals of partners, she is at risk of becoming pregnant. The function of the description described is to secure sperm through a woman's urethra and vagina, where there is an acidic environment that destroys the "rubber" and puts it in a viable form into the uterine cavity and tubes for fertilization of the egg.
Defective prostate
As the pressure in the abdomen increases (under pressure), a transparent, odorless discharge with possible grayish-white streaks may appear on the head of the penis. Such discharge is viscous and consists of a mixture of prostate and prostate. Such discharge may appear at the end of urination, in which case it is referred to as the prostate gland. In exceptional cases, such discharge appears with a strong cough. They are not considered organic pathologies, but only indicate a violation of the autonomous control of the genitals.
Smegma
Smegma (preputial lubrication) is a secret that consists of secretion from the sebaceous glands of the head and foreskin. Normally, if one follows the rules of personal hygiene, such discharge does not cause any inconvenience as it is mechanically rinsed with water. But if hygiene is neglected, smegma accumulates and microorganisms multiply in what serves as a source of unpleasant odors.
Isolation of semen
Sperm, which contain a large number of sperm, are usually secreted during ejaculation (ejaculation) at the end of intercourse or automatically during sleep (wet dreams). Infection occurs in adolescent boys and occurs either several times a month or 1 to 3 times a week (hormonal changes).
In some cases, sperm, that is, the outflow of sperm from the urethra without intercourse and orgasm, indicates a disease when the tone of the vascular deferens is disturbed by chronic inflammation or brain disease.
Morbid discharge
All other secretions that go beyond physiology are pathological and indicate primarily inflammation of the urethra or urinary tract infection. The causes of urinary incontinence in men are different, they can be both contagious and non-contagious.
Infectious causes are divided into specific and non-specific.
- Specific etiological factors include sexually transmitted diseases such as trichomoniasis.
- Non-specific infectious urinary tract infections are caused by opportunistic bacteria, viruses and fungi:
- chlamydial urethritis;
- urinary plasma and mycoplasma urinary tract infection;
- osteoarthritis or urinary tract infection in men;
- herpetic urethra and others (Escherichia coli, streptococci, staphylococci).
Non-communicable inflammatory diseases are:
- allergic reactions
- mechanical damage to the urethral mucosa
- irritation of the urethra with substances
- shock, narrowing of the urethra.
Men's graduation can vary in transparency and color. These variables are influenced by the intensity of the inflammatory process, its stage and etiological factors. The secretions are formed from fluids, mucus and various cells.
- Cloudy - if the number of cells is, the discharge is cloudy in color.
- Gray or thick - with predominant epithelial cells in the secretion, they become gray and thick.
- Yellow, green or yellow-green - when a large number of white cells are found in the secretions, they turn 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 graduation
White discharge in men is due to several reasons. First, candidiasis should be ruled out. This disease has the following symptoms:
- the head of the penis smells unpleasantly of sourdough or yeast;
- the head of the penis is covered with a whitish coating;
- itching, burning and even pain in the penis and abdomen are noted;
- discharge appears during urination;
- there are reddish spots (irritation, swelling) on the head and the inner surface of the foreskin;
- pain occurs during intercourse, discomfort is found in the head and foreskin;
- white discharge is observed, not only during urination;
- partner complains of itching and burning, pain during intercourse, relieves himself.
In addition to leukemia urinary tract infection, white discharge may be due to chlamydia and / or diuresis and fungal infection, and also talk of inflammation of the prostate gland, which is characterized by:
- Difficulty and intermittent urination
- burning sensation in the abdomen and urethra;
- discomfort with bowel movements;
- frequent urination;
- libido (decreased libido and erection, rapid ejaculation, blurred orgasm).
It is important for men to remember that neglected prostatitis can not only lead to persistent erectile dysfunction but also to infertility.
Transparent selection
- Chlamydia, diuretic - transparent mucus is possible with chlamydia or urinary tract infection in the chronic stage of the disease. As the process worsens, the number of white blood cells in the secretion increases and they turn green or yellowish.
- Trichomoniasis, gonorrhea - also transparent, high discharge with a lot of mucus, seen during the day, is possible in the early stages of infection with Trichomonas or gonococci. In the case of chlamydia (ureaplasmosis), subjective feelings are often absent (pain, itching, burning) and transparent discharge appears after prolonged urination.
Yellow print
Purulent discharge, which includes a remote epithelial epithelium, a significant number of white blood cells and urethral mucus, is yellowish or greenish. Yellow discharge or mixed with green is a characteristic sign of sexually transmitted diseases.
- Gonorrhea - the discharge is thick and has an unpleasant rotting odor, is seen during the day and is accompanied by pain when urinating. One should first think about gonorrheal infection if there are a classic couple of symptoms: discharge and itching.
- Trichomoniasis - also with yellow discharge, trichomoniasis is not ruled out, although it is often asymptomatic. With severe symptoms of Trichomonas infection, as well as haemorrhagic discharge, there is concern about burning and stinging during urination, frequent and irresistible urge to urinate, lower abdominal tightness and abdominal discomfort.
Emission with odor
Violation of hygiene
In particular, the unpleasant odor of the abdomen and penis may be observed if the conditions of close hygiene are not followed:
- Smegma is a great breeding ground for microbes, which multiply and die and create an unpleasant odor if you do not regularly wash your external genitalia.
- In addition, smegma itself can have an unpleasant odor in the case of metabolic diseases (for example, diabetes in men). At the same time, the emission of smegma is so great that it flows through the underwear.
Infections
Discharge with odor most often occurs during infectious urethra in the urethra. First, gonorrheal urticaria should be ruled out - thick, yellow or green discharge seen throughout the day.
Acidic odor is a pathological symptom of a urinary tract infection in the blood. A fungal infection of the genus Candida causes cheese or milky white discharge to be seen.
Fishy odor from secretion is also possible, which is inherited in gardnerellosis, which is characteristic of women (called bacterial necrosis) and in men, the development of this disease is rather nonsense. Gardnerella belongs to conditioned pathogenic micro-organisms and begins to multiply actively only under certain conditions:
- weakening of immunity;
- concomitant inflammatory processes in the genitals;
- intestinal dysbiosis;
- use of spermicidal condoms;
- long-term treatment with antibiotics or immunosuppressants (cytotoxic drugs, corticosteroids);
- tight underwear made of synthetic materials;
- inadvisable sex.
Discharge with an unpleasant odor can also be associated with diseases such as:
- balanitis (inflammation 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 hypertension and itching, pain in the penis and sores and wrinkles are found on the head.
Blood release
Infections
Bloody discharge or discharge with blood droplets is often observed in infectious urethra. Reconstitution is typical of gonorrheal, Trichomonas or candidal urethritis. In addition, blood levels are directly related to the intensity of inflammation.
Blood is often seen with chronic urinary tract infection (the lining of the urethra loosens and responds by bleeding on contact with the slightest irritation, including urine through the incision).
Medical treatment
Another reason for this is trauma to the urethra during medical procedures. In the case of rough structure, insertion and removal of the uterus, cystoscopy or lubrication, stains may appear at once. They are different in that the blood is scarlet, does not have a blood clot and the bleeding itself stops very quickly.
Rocks, sand
Among other things, bloody discharge can be seen when small stones or sand (from the kidneys or bladder) pass through the urethra. The hard surface of microliths damages the mucous membranes and blood vessel walls and causes bleeding. In this case, blood is most prominent during urination, which is accompanied by pain.
Glomerulonephritis
Rough blood levels (blood in the urine, visible during urination) are also possible in the presence of glomerulonephritis. In this case, there is a triangle of symptoms: gross hematopoiesis, edema, increased blood pressure.
Malignant tumor
One sign of genital malignancy (prostate, penis, testicular and other cancers) is the appearance of blood in a man. In this case, the blood will turn brown or dark and blood clots may appear.
Isolation of blood by semen
We must not forget such symptoms as hematospermia. Distinguish between false and true leukemia. When it is wrong, the mixture is mixed with the semen as it passes through the urethra. And with real blood it gets into the ejaculate even before it passes through the urethra. Hematopoiesis has the following symptoms:
- pain during ejaculation;
- urinary disorders;
- genital pain and / or swelling (testicles and scrotum);
- discomfort and pain in the lower back;
- increased body temperature.
One of the causes of hemoglobin is:
- too active sex or vice versa,
- prolonged sexual abstinence, during sexual intercourse rupture of blood vessel walls in the genital tissue
- previous surgery or biopsy may also cause blood to appear in the sperm
- hematopoiesis occurs in benign and malignant tumors of the genitals
- in the presence of stones in the testicles and vas deferens
- with varicose veins of the pelvic organs.
