Often, erectile dysfunction in men occurs in liquid form (in limited quantities), which can have different colors and consistencies. Discharge out of the urethra or preputial gland and normal if volume, color, and odor do not make you think otherwise.
If the secretion is abnormal, you should think about your health condition and see a specialist, as this may be the first symptom of a serious illness.
Secretions during erection in men, indicating a normal state of health
A general guideline for assessing the health of the genitourinary system is the physiological removal of the urethra:
- urethrorrhea- during erection, a transparent secretion is produced, which contains a small number of germ cells;
- smegma- produced by the sebaceous glands under the skin of the glans penis (washed during hygiene procedures).
Pathological secretions
The appearance of secretions, which can not be associated with normal and physiological, indicates the presence of inflammatory processes in the body. They can be caused by infectious and non-infectious causes.
The main types of infectious diseases that cause the release of pathological secretions are:
- klamidia;
- candidiasis;
- gonorea;
- genital herpes;
- trichomoniasis;
- ureaplasmosis;
- mycoplasmosis.
Non-communicable factors can also provoke the secretion, namely:
- damage to the urethra due to mechanical stress;
- allergic reactions;
- taking drugs or other chemicals;
- Narrowing of the urethral lumen.
Typology of erection during erection in men
All erectile dysfunction in men can vary in color and transparency. Already based on these guidelines, one can make the first conclusion about the presence of unusual processes for a healthy body, namely:
- turbid - directly indicates the presence in the body of an impressive number of pathogenic microorganisms;
- gray with a thick consistency - indicates the presence of dead epithelial tissue;
- green or yellow - is a direct indication of the presence of inflammatory processes and purulent removal (in the analysis there will be an increase in leukocyte levels);
- interspersed with blood or blood clots.
Examination and treatment for atypical discharge during erection
If atypical secretions are detected during an erection, it is necessary to contact a specialist and undergo a comprehensive examination to confirm or exclude the presence of certain diseases.
Preliminary examination includes:
- visual examination of the penis;
- palpation and examination of the lymph nodes in the groin;
- collection of secretions from the prostate for further laboratory examination.
Based on laboratory test and preliminary examination data, an initial diagnosis can be made. If this data does not appear to be sufficient, additional manipulation is performed:
- TANK sowing;
- complete blood count;
- general urinalysis;
- Ultrasound of the pelvic and prostate organs;
- tomography
Based on the results of the examination, the specialist will provide appropriate treatment.
