Allocations in men imply neoplasms that appear from the glans penis. We are talking about fluid or mucous inclusions that stand out from the urethra. This is a very alarming signal, it justifiably causes concern. Patients are always worried when excessive discharge occurs from the urethra.
Do not immediately worry - some discharge is quite normal, but if the patient has determined that the discharge is too intense, then it is worth contacting a specialist doctor. First you need to define what is the norm.
Normal secretion from the glans penis
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, any 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 signs, but also by physical ones. At such a moment, only a few drops of secretions are formed during excitation on the foreskin and on the head. These are mucous inclusions that do not have a color, are transparent. The liquid performs an important function, protects the genital organ, so these "symptoms" are quite normal. It is important to take into account the moment of formation of such a fluid, only during excessive excitement. For example, such overexcitation appears during the morning uncontrolled erection;
- During puberty, phenomena such as wet dreams appear. The separation of semen at this point is quite natural, just as in sexual intercourse;
- There is also such a phenomenon as defecation uncontrolled excretion. They occur during defecation, when a man is overly zealous, makes straining. This phenomenon is connected and becomes possible with a special structure of internal organs. These organs are located too close, so the secret is released when the intestines are overloaded with feces. These are insignificant drops, and the time of their appearance must also be taken into account;
- Also, the structure, the special formation of the body, explains the mictional prostorrhea. In this case, fluids come out of the urethra, they are also insignificant in volume.
These causes of excretions in men under the foreskin are quite natural. Although there is some debate in the medical community regarding prostorrhea as to whether it is part of the norm. But if such a phenomenon does not cause discomfort, does not cause inconvenience, then it is not necessary to treat it.
Prostorrhea does not indicate the presence of any inflammatory processes. But just in case, you need to check the condition of the glands to make sure that they are healthy. But white discharge from the penis or under the foreskin must be taken as a signal of some kind of ailment and undergo a full check.
White discharge on the head, if they appear, is present almost constantly. But other inclusions are a short-term phenomenon that does not cause pain or discomfort. They are short-term, and if the rest of the time the hole is dry, then this is normal. Also, the urethra should be clean, without plaque.
When should you see a doctor?
Everyone knows what state to consider normal, even purely intuitively. Excessive discharge is not in vain that men worry, even if they refuse to admit it. In this case, you can not postpone the visit to the doctor. By some signs, it can be understood that the discharge is dangerous, the sooner the treatment is, the more successful the treatment will be.
A man can view the penis without hindrance almost always, such is the peculiarity of the structure of the body. If the liquid appears on its own, this may be a symptom of certain diseases, but if the consistency, volume, and other characteristics also change, this should be paid attention to.
It is better not to allow the situation to worsen, and to take all possible measures immediately when the first signs appear:
- Pathological excretions have a specific color - for example, a gray, 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 may be a sign of an infectious or sexually transmitted disease;
- It is worth immediately contacting a specialist if an admixture of blood is found in secret, since this is a cause for serious concern;
- Microbes and their vital activity can cause an unpleasant odor;
- If new symptoms appear, such as itching and burning, that do not go away within a few days, you should immediately visit a doctor. The most unpleasant 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, you need to carefully monitor the condition of the body. But if the disease is not treated, it will turn into a chronic form, and then 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 first stages as minor, difficult to discern symptoms. White discharge on the head of the penis is hard to miss, but they appear much later.
To determine the presence and obvious signs of the disease, you do not need 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 mucus has accumulated during the night. It is worth noting that after the abuse of alcohol and spicy foods, additional mucus may form.
What ailments should be suspected in the first place? Often, discharge becomes a symptom of urethritis. This is inflammation, and mucus separation 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 transmitted from one partner to another. It is necessary to restore the 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 excessive pathological 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.
