Allocations in men imply neoplasms appearing from the glans penis. We are talking about fluid or mucous inclusions that stand out from the urethra. This is a very alarming sign, and rightly causes concern. Patients are always concerned when excessive discharge from the urethra occurs.
Do not worry immediately: some discharges are quite normal, but if the patient has determined that the discharge is too intense, it is worth contacting a specialist doctor. First you need to define what the norm is.
Normal secretion from the glans
White discharge on the head in men is undoubtedly an alarming symptom, but there are also those that are not the result of an inflammatory process, no pathology.
They even testify to the normal state of affairs, healthy well-being:
- Sometimes men experience excessive sexual arousal. This condition is accompanied not only by psychological and emotional, but also physical signs. At that time, only a few drops of secretion are formed during arousal on the foreskin and head. These are mucous inclusions that have no color, are transparent. The liquid performs an important function, protects the genitals, so these "symptoms" are quite normal. It is important to take into account the moment of formation of such a fluid, only during excessive arousal. For example, such overexcitement appears during uncontrolled morning erection;
- During puberty, phenomena such as wet dreams appear. The separation of the semen at this point is quite natural, just like in sexual intercourse;
- There is also such a phenomenon as uncontrolled excretion of defecation. They occur during defecation, when a man is overzealous, he struggles. This phenomenon is connected and becomes possible with a special structure of the internal organs. These organs are located too close together, so the secret is released when the intestine is overloaded with feces. These are insignificant drops, and the time of their appearance must also be taken into account;
- In addition, the structure, the special formation of the body, explains the mitional prostorrhea. In this case, liquids come out of the urethra, they are also insignificant in volume.
These causes of excretion in men under the foreskin are quite natural. Although there is some debate in the medical community about prostorrhea as to whether it is part of the norm. But if such a phenomenon does not cause discomfort, does not cause discomfort, it is not necessary to treat it.
Prostorrhea does not indicate the presence of inflammatory processes. But just in case, it is necessary to check the condition of the glands to make sure they are healthy. But white discharge from the penis or under the foreskin should be considered a sign of some kind of ailment and undergo a thorough checkup.
White discharge on the head, if they appear, is present almost constantly. But other inclusions are a short-term phenomenon that doesn't cause pain or discomfort. They are short term and if the rest of the time the hole is dry then it is normal. Also, the urethra should be clean, without plaque.
When should you see a doctor?
Everyone knows which state to consider normal, even purely intuitively. Excessive discharge is not in vain that men care, even if they refuse to admit it. In this case, it is not possible to postpone the visit to the doctor. According to some signs, it can be understood that the discharge is dangerous, the sooner the treatment, the greater the success of the treatment.
A man can almost always see the penis without hindrance, such is the peculiarity of the body structure. If the liquid appears on its own, this can be a symptom of some diseases, but if the consistency, volume and other characteristics also change, care should be taken.
It is better not to allow the situation to get worse and to take all possible measures immediately when the first signs appear:
- Pathological excretions have a specific color, for example, a gray and yellowish tint. White discharge on the penis is especially unpleasant. If a brown liquid appears, this is already an extremely alarming symptom. White discharge under the foreskin in men can be a sign of an infectious or sexually transmitted disease;
- It is worth immediately contacting a specialist if a blood mixture is secretly found, as this is a cause for serious concern;
- Microbes and their vital activity can cause an unpleasant smell;
- If new symptoms appear, such as itching and burning, that do not go away within a few days, you should visit a doctor immediately. The most unfortunate thing is that they can accompany sexual intercourse. Also, pain often occurs when urinating;
- The consistency indicates the pathological nature of the secret. Curdled discharge in men can be a sign of chlamydia. Sexually transmitted diseases during the incubation period can proceed without any signals, but some changes indicate the activity of bacteria. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully monitor the condition of the body. But if the disease is not treated, it will turn into a chronic form, and therefore the effect on the body will become extremely intense.
Possible diseases: how to determine them yourself?
As already mentioned, sexually transmitted diseases can manifest themselves in the early stages as minor and difficult to discern symptoms. It is difficult not to notice white secretions on the head of the penis, but they appear much later.
To determine the presence and obvious signs of a disease, it is not necessary to turn a blind eye to the symptoms. It is always necessary to carefully check the linen, and if in doubt, it is better to examine the condition of the penis in the morning, when the mucus has accumulated during the night. It is worth noting that after the abuse of alcohol and spicy foods, additional mucus can form.
What ailments should be suspected in the first place? Often, the discharge becomes a symptom of urethritis. This is inflammation and the separation of the mucus is a defensive reaction.
White mucus from the head in men most often indicates candidiasis. Thrush is not always sexually transmitted, it can be the result of taking certain substances, antibiotic therapy.
Allocation of white fluid in men is best treated in a timely manner and together with a partner. Otherwise, the disease will be passed from one partner to another. It is necessary to restore microflora, eat right and maintain hygiene.
White discharge from the penis also appears with some sexually transmitted diseases. But more often the latter proceed almost asymptomatically. The treatment plan is developed by the attending physician, taking into account the clinical picture.
It is necessary to immediately exclude cancer, low-quality tumors.
This is a serious ailment, it can lead to pathological excessive secretion. After all, excessive fluid becomes a consequence of the presence of an inflammatory process. And an oncological tumor can also lead to the appearance of a focus of inflammation.
Consultation with a specialist is required, and the sooner you see a doctor, the better. This is an important condition for a correct and effective impact on the body. It is necessary to strictly follow all the recommendations of doctors, without interrupting the treatment.
