Clear liquid comes out after urinating

The physiological structures of men and women are very different, and the male urethra and female urethra are also different. Therefore, different problems may occur in the male and female urethra. Some men may find some clear mucus when they squeeze their urine after urinating. This has also caused panic among some men, as they don't know much about such issues and feel that there may be something wrong with their bodies. So let’s find out what this transparent liquid is.

One is likely to be white:

Urethral discharge refers to a small amount of milky white viscous liquid that flows out of the urethra after urination or defecation. In fact, this liquid is the prostatic fluid secreted by the prostate, also known as prostatic overflow. This is caused by the muscles in the pelvic floor contracting and compressing the gland during urination or bowel movements. Since little force is required during normal defecation, this white dripping phenomenon is not obvious. However, when constipation occurs and force is required to defecate, the prostate gland is compressed and white dripping occurs. Some people think that this is "nocturnal emission" or "loose semen", and that it is caused by kidney deficiency. In fact, this is not nocturnal emission, but fluid flowing out of the prostate.

2. So how do you distinguish between nocturnal emission and white discharge?

1. The way of excretion is different: white discharge is often discharged unconsciously before or after urination or defecation; nocturnal emission usually occurs during ejaculation.

2. The amount of discharge is different: the semen of nocturnal emission is generally more than 2 ml, with an average of 3 to 5 ml; the amount of white dripping can be more or less, and is relatively turbid.

3. The properties are different. When semen is just ejaculated, it is grayish white and thick and jelly-like. It begins to liquefy and become a thin and transparent liquid after about 10 minutes. The ejaculated semen is a white turbid liquid without any liquefaction changes.

4. The main accompanying symptoms are different: nocturnal emission is generally accompanied by urination difficulties; white discharge is often accompanied by urination difficulties and bladder irritation symptoms.

It is considered to be related to prostatitis, and symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, pain when urinating, back pain, and fatigue may occur. It is recommended to go to the urology department for a detailed physical examination and a clear diagnosis.

It is recommended to take finasteride tablets and ciprofloxacin for treatment. The diet should mainly consist of light food, maintain regularity, pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue.
