Transparent discharge in a man: is this normal?

When is discharge the norm?
Transparent discharge in men appears from the urethra. When should their occurrence not cause concern?

1. They can be released in a small amount in the morning, in a state of intense excitement. This type of discharge is due to the work of the endocrine glands.
2. Nocturnal pollutions (that is, ejection of a seed without direct sexual intercourse) are also accompanied by secretions.
3. Transparent discharge in a man can be caused by bowel movement. In this case, they appear during bowel movements and have a viscous consistency. Color - dirty gray.
All cases described are, in principle, the norm. If they do not occur too often, then there is no reason for concern.

Associated symptoms
Transparent discharge in a man is quite difficult not to notice - they stain underwear and, as a rule, are accompanied by mild itching in the urethra. Sometimes they appear only in the morning and during the day manage to dry out - then all that remains of them is something like a crust or film, which is separated on its own during a trip to the toilet. In rare cases, secretions are triggered by excessively spicy food or strong alcohol. Basically, men do not pay attention to such minor troubles and can seriously worry only when they entered into an unprotected connection before this. If random sex really had a place to be, clear discharge in a man can be a symptom of an STD.
Possible diseases
If your underwear is regularly soiled, it is better not to take risks, but consult a doctor for diagnosis. To postpone the visit and hope that everything goes away on your own should not be: transparent discharge in a man may indicate the presence of chlamydia, candidiasis, ureaplasmosis and other infectious diseases. Another fairly common cause is urethritis (simply put, the inflammatory process in the urethra). It can be caused by infection or abuse of spicy foods, seasonings such as mustard, wasabi, and vinegar. Older men should regularly visit a urologist and be checked for prostate cancer (in this case, the discharge will be accompanied by severe pain in the penis, ulcers on its mucosa and a small amount of blood). Urological diseases in men are quite difficult. Do not try to treat them yourself by buying antibiotics at the pharmacy on the advice of a pharmacist. In order to make a correct diagnosis, it is necessary, firstly, to provide the attending physician with accurate information about the color and consistency of the discharge (they can be viscous or liquid, plentiful or scanty, transparent, white, gray, dirty yellow, pinkish).

Finally

Each of these signs can tell a lot about the cause of the disease and its stage. You should also pass a number of tests - for the presence of leukocytes, fungi, microbes, bacteria and decay products. Remember that if you do not conduct the treatment in a timely manner, the disease can become chronic, then getting rid of it will be much more difficult.
