Separation from a man's penis can tell a lot about his health. They are both physiological and pathological. Sometimes the change in the color of biological fluids becomes the only symptom of the disease.
Physiological discharge
Physiological separation from the penis during arousal does not cause discomfort to the man. The main function of such fluids is to protect the genitourinary system. They are moderate in nature, odorless, transparent, with a uniform consistency.
Transparent disposal is considered normal. Liquids contain protective factors against pathogenic microflora and microorganisms that are natural human microflora.
Natural body fluids include:
- libidinal urethral flow;
- smegma;
- prostatoreal defecation;
- ejaculation.
Under normal circumstances, the man does not notice the natural flow from the penis. It is perceived as a known state.
White current
Small amounts of white, odorless white discharge from the penis are normal. Discharge most often occurs after sleep. The secret is that the urethra and paraurethral glands produce.
Libido urethrosis is the release of drops of clear fluid from the penis during sexual arousal. They are an adaptive mechanism for sperm movement. According to the slimy secret, the "living" easily come out of a man's penis.
However, urethrorea, which is associated with sexual arousal, contains a small amount of sperm. In rare cases, sexual intercourse without contraception can lead to conception.
During the act of defecation or coughing, the intra-abdominal pressure increases. The sphincters relax and a small amount of white flow flows. The contents are a mixture of seminal vesicles and prostate secretions.
Smegma is the secretion of sebaceous glands that is observed around the glans penis and foreskin. Such a secret is odorless. This is a protective lubricant for the glans penis, facilitates the sliding of the foreskin on the glans penis. Upon reaching old age, smegma ceases to be produced.
Ejaculation (ejaculation) is the release of sperm during intercourse or masturbation. The semen has a normal uniform whitish color, without additional impurities. There is a specific smell of "horse chestnut". During passage through the urethra, semen mixes with the secretions of the urethral glands. When the secretion of the gland changes, it can change its color to light gray.
Ejaculation during sleep is called wet dreams. It is observed during the development of reproductive function in adolescents or an increase in testosterone levels. The transmission speed is up to three times a week.
Yellow secretion
Physiological yellow glandular secretion from the penis is observed when smegma is inoculated with non-specific microflora. This is observed in violation of the rules of personal hygiene. When the smegma decomposes, an unpleasant odor appears. The secret is easily washed off with warm water. To keep your genitals clean, you should take a shower twice a day.
Pathological discharge from the penis
The first sign of pathological discharge is an increase in its amount. This is the moment when the pathogen penetrates only the mucous membranes of the genitourinary tract and has not yet caused inflammation.
In the future, the discharge from the penis changes color to more cloudy. They become abundant, sticky and tough. Complaints of itching, burning, pain in the lower abdomen and urethra, exacerbated by urination and during intercourse. This condition is characterized by the development of the inflammatory process of the genitourinary system.
Pathological separation from the penis causes:
- sexually transmitted diseases (gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, syphilis);
- opportunistic microorganisms (chlamydia, mycoplasma, ureaplasma, yeast, staphylococci);
- chemicals (soap, detergents, lubricants, condom lubricants);
- urinary tract injuries (surgery, urethral dementia);
- tumors of the genitourinary system (prostate adenoma, bladder tumors);
- passage of stones and sand through the urinary tract.
The same process, changing the stages, is characterized by a change in the secretion from the urethra.
White current
Often the first symptom of sexually transmitted and inflammatory processes caused by opportunistic flora is a profuse white discharge, which then changes color and texture.
The development of yeast in the urethra causes urogenital candidiasis (thrush). In the disease there is an abundant cheese discharge with a sour smell. Men complain of itching and burning in the urethra, heaviness in the lower abdomen. The color of the secreted secretion can be changed by the secondary opportunistic flora that has joined.
Leakage of semen from the penis without intercourse or orgasm (spermatorrhea) indicates a decrease in the tone of the sphincters of the vas deferens. This condition can occur as a result of chronic inflammation or brain damage.
Yellow secretion
Yellow secretion is the first sign of inflammation of the genitourinary system, which can be caused by sexually transmitted diseases, non-specific flora and allergic reactions to chemicals. A doctor should be consulted to identify the cause of such symptoms and prescribe specific treatment.
Purulent flow
In gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, gardnerellosis there is a purulent discharge from the urethra with an unpleasant putrid odor. In addition to the profuse flow, the man complains of discomfort in the lower abdomen, a burning sensation when urinating.
The symptoms are more pronounced in the morning. This is due to the accumulation of secretions in the urethra after a long stay in a horizontal position and a decrease in the frequency of urination at night. The so-called symptom of the morning drop. When a few cloudy yellow drops are excreted before urination.
Bleeding
Blood flow from the penis can definitely not be the norm. This is always a pathological phenomenon. What are the causes of blood droplets leaking from the urethra?
The most common cause is an acute inflammatory process. The appearance of a bloody component in the natural fluids indicates trauma to the inflamed mucosa by an aggressive factor.
Chronic prostatitis can cause red blood during ejaculation. This is due to the appearance of stones in the testicles with prolonged inflammation. The stones injure the small vessels and the droplets of blood are released.
Varicose veins in the pelvis and perineal area lead to an increase in the permeability of the vessel wall and the penetration of erythrocytes into the seminal fluid.
The passage of sand and stones injures the delicate walls of the mucous membranes of the urethra. There is bleeding along with the natural flow from the urethra and during urination.
A common symptom of genitourinary tumors is blood flow from the penis. The mechanism of occurrence of such signs is considered a mild trauma with uric acid salts, products of excretion from the body and semen.
Kidney disease such as glomerulonephritis is characterized by damage to the renal tubules and the presence of blood in the urine. The disease is often accompanied by symptoms of renal failure.
Treatment
Treatment should only be prescribed by a doctor. You can contact a venereologist or urologist for an examination. After clinical and laboratory tests, the doctor prescribes anti-inflammatory therapy and antibiotics, taking into account the sensitivity to the pathogen.
The independent and uncontrolled intake of antibacterial drugs leads to the development of resistance in microorganisms, as well as to the transition of the process to a chronic stage.
Long-term parasitism of the pathological flora in the genitourinary system disrupts sperm production. They lose their ability to move. This leads to infertility.
Conclusion
The discharge from the penis is the first signal from the body for a disease of the genitourinary system. The best prevention of male diseases is to follow the rules of personal hygiene and discrimination during sexual intercourse. A regular partner and a well-established life will help you avoid health problems.
