Patient's question:
Patient Gender: I have been experiencing some issues after my penis becomes erect (without masturbation or sexual activity) and when it becomes soft while going to the toilet, there is white liquid in the urine that is excreted along with it. Is this a problem? If it is, what should I do?Duration of the condition: Occasionally, a few times.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your consultation, I consider that if there are no other discomforts, the discharge is likely prostatic fluid, also known as prostatic hypersecretion. It may also contain a small amount of fluid secreted by the bulbourethral glands. This is because the prostate and bulbourethral glands are located in the pelvic floor, and the act of defecation compresses these glands, causing them to secrete a small amount of fluid. This is a normal physiological response.If you experience any other discomforts in the urethra, such as itching, burning sensation, difficulty urinating, pain, or redness and swelling of the urethral meatus, it may indicate a urinary tract infection, such as pyonephrosis or bladder diverticulitis. In such cases, purulent fluid may be discharged from the urethral meatus during urination, appearing white, which is known as pyuria. Pyuria appears cloudy and may contain pus threads, and in severe infections, it may have a foul odor.
If this is the second case, it is best to visit a urology department in a regular hospital for examination or consultation.
