Patient's question:
Morning, I went to bed and there was a small amount of clear liquid dripping from my penis. Is this prostatic fluid? How can I prevent the liquid from dripping in the morning? Thank you, doctor.Doctor's answer:
If there is a small amount of thin liquid discharge from the urethral opening in the morning upon waking, the main possibility to consider is non-gonococcal urethritis. Non-gonococcal urethritis is caused by chlamydia and mycoplasma infections and is a sexually transmitted disease. I don't know if you have any other urethral symptoms besides this, so I recommend going to the urology department or the sexually transmitted diseases department of a hospital for an early check-up. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it is not treated in time, it will affect your health condition. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting.
