Discharge from gonorrhea

Discharge from the penis may indicate the development of pathological processes in the body. One of them is gonorrhea. This disease is venereal. Infection occurs during intimacy without protection. The causative agent is gonococcus. The symptoms of gonorrhea are in many ways similar to those of urethritis.

With the development of gonorrhea, discharge appears in large quantities. They have an unpleasant odor, their color is whitish or yellowish. Additionally, there are such clinical manifestations as pain during micturition and after it, burning in the urethra, hyperthermia, and general weakness. In males, this disease develops quickly and is clearly manifested, rapidly spreading to all organs of the reproductive system.

Discharge from the penis may be a sign of a developing chlamydial lesion. This infection is sluggish in nature, parasitic at the cellular level. It is difficult to cure chlamydia, it is often possible to re-exacerbate the infectious process.

Symptoms are mild. Sometimes there are no symptoms at all. There are slight whitish discharge. There are no specific symptoms. Chlamydia can only be manifested by prolonged urethritis, which is not easy to get rid of.

Candida infection

Thrush is an inflammatory process in the organs of the genitourinary system. The cause of the appearance is often a weakened immune system. The provocateur of the development of the disease is the Candida fungus, normally it is present in the human body. But in the presence of adverse conditions, it can become active and cause the corresponding symptoms.

Signs of the development of candidiasis are whitish discharge, curdled consistency. They have a sour smell. Accompanied by itching and burning during emptying of the bladder and during sexual intercourse, there may also be a dull pain in the groin.

Mycoplasma and ureaplasma

These infectious processes are in many ways similar to the development of chlamydia. They can be contracted through unprotected intercourse. They are difficult to cure because they are latent and may not show any symptoms.

The clinical manifestations of ureaplasmosis and mycoplasmosis are whitish or transparent discharge.

Their quantity is insignificant, there is no specific smell. Additionally, periodic spasms in the groin, itching or tingling during micturition, discomfort during intimacy may appear. If these diseases become advanced, soreness in the scrotum may occur. This symptom indicates the presence of an inflammatory process in the testicle.

Development of trichomoniasis

Trichomoniasis is a venereal pathology, the causative agent of which is Trichomonas. Such an infection is one of the most common that are transmitted through sexual contact. The clinical picture is pronounced.

In men, the urethra is affected, yellow-white discharge appears, which has an unpleasant odor. They are plentiful, their consistency is thick. Additionally, there is itching or tingling during emptying. Often, the development of this infection is accompanied by damage to the prostate gland.

For prostatitis

The development of an inflammatory process in the prostate gland may be a consequence of urethritis and other problems in the organs of the genitourinary system. Also, prostatitis can develop on its own. Infectious processes in the urinary tract provoke its appearance.

The clinical manifestations are erectile dysfunction, soreness appears during intimacy, especially during ejaculation. The characteristic of secretions is due to the causative agent of the disease. Most often they are whitish and cloudy, they contain a large number of leukocytes. The prostate increases in size, as a result of which there are violations during the emptying of the bladder.

Treatment

Only after determining the cause of abnormal discharge, you can begin to prescribe any therapeutic measures. The complex therapy includes the use of antibacterial drugs. They are prescribed after sowing on the sensitivity of pathological microflora to the active substances of drugs.

With the development of pathological processes at the cellular level, it is precisely the antibiotic that has the ability to penetrate into cellular structures and act there that is prescribed. Therapy of such diseases is usually long, since it is completely difficult to remove the pathogen from the body.

In the presence of candidiasis, antifungal drugs prescribed by a doctor are used. Sometimes it may be necessary to additionally prescribe non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antispasmodics. Local therapy consists in local baths, lotions and applications with antiseptic solutions. Antifungal solutions and antiseptics are administered into the urethra.

Self-treatment is unacceptable, as this is fraught with aggravation of the condition and the transition of diseases to a chronic form. It is very important to consult a doctor in a timely manner and undergo all the necessary studies, after which you can draw up the correct treatment algorithm.
