What discharge in men is considered normal?
Discharge in men is the appearance of colored fluid or mucus from the outer opening of the urethra. This phenomenon is most often normal, but in some cases it can indicate the presence of a disease.
It is quite easy to notice the appearance of abundant discharge. They can appear all day, after a long sleep or while urinating. A discharge from the urethra can be seen by the appearance of small white or flesh-colored spots on the underpants.
This process is considered normal in the following cases:
- With strong aphrodisiacs, against the background of an erection (smegma, natural lubrication);
- In a wet dream (spontaneous eruption of sperm);
- With attempts during defecation;
It should be noted that the appearance of a small amount of white or clear liquid on the tip of the penis during intense stimulation is not considered a deviation from normal, but on the contrary, indicates a man's reproductive health. grandfather.

White, cheesy, gray, yellow or transparent - can mean color
Male and female discharge can vary in color, clarity, and consistency. These signs vary depending on the disease that led to the appearance of the white skin, its intensity and stage. The discharge is usually a combination of cells, fluid, and mucus. As a rule, transparency depends on the number of cells contained in them. The opacity of the white indicates the presence of a large number of cells in which, with a large number of epithelial cells, the liquid becomes thick and gray in color. The bluish and yellow color is a sign of the predominance of leukocytes in it. A milky discharge from the urethra indicates the presence of a disease such as candidiasis (thrush).

When a patient complains of a discharge from the urethra, the doctor usually sends him for analysis. Under laboratory conditions, they are carefully studied. Using a microscope, you can determine the presence of Trichomonas, gonococci, yeast in the patient's body. If bacteria are found that cannot be identified by microscopy, seeding of secretions on nutrient medium is indicated. Treatment is usually done with antibiotics, however, until the correct diagnosis is established, it makes no sense to take them. In such cases, the doctor will prescribe broad-spectrum antibiotics, when making a diagnosis will use specialized drugs. Self-medication often does not bring positive results, but on the contrary, contributes to the transformation of the disease into a latent chronic form.
Fluid from the urethra is secreted as a response of the body to the presence of any infection in it. By their abundance, one can judge the degree of development of this infection. Most often, the main reason for the appearance of hemorrhagic disease in men is the development of a disease called urethritis (inflammation of the urethra). In this case, the mucous membrane produces a large amount of mucus and red blood cells, which are protective factors. Fluid that accumulates at the site of infection also mixes with secretions.

- Ureaplasmosis (an infectious, sexually transmitted disease, the main causative agents of which are considered protozoa - ureaplasmas).
White, foamy discharge, often indicates the presence in the body of the most common infectious, sexually transmitted disease in the world - trichomoniasis.
