Types of precipitations

Depending on the type of discharge in medical practice determine:

• Spermatorrhea ( see here).This is the exit of the sperm from the urethra. With prostatitis, hyperstimulation of the gland ducts occurs as a result of inflammatory or dystrophic processes. The same can occur with excessive excitation in the framework of premature ejaculation. Diagnosis is carried out by the method of elimination. If the lesion of the prostate gland is not observed, it is necessary to search for the problem in the central nervous system and its excessive excitability.
• Prostration( see here).Unlike spermatothorrhoea, not seminal fluid is released, but the secret of the prostate gland. Not always, prostatrhea is pathological in nature. In medical practice, a defecatory prostateia and a mictic form of the condition are isolated. In the first case, there is an increase in intra-abdominal and, respectively, prostatic pressure( in the ducts of the organ).The secret goes out in small quantities. This is considered normal. The next species is characterized by the release of juice from the urethral canal after urination due to the weakness of the sphincter or as a result of chronic prostatic disease.
• Mucous and mucopurulent discharge .Almost always testify to the inflammatory process in the prostate gland. If it is only a matter of mucus, it is impossible to distinguish it from prostate juice without specialized research.
• Pus .Is allocated by drops. It can go not only about severe prostatitis, but also urethritis.

Allocations with prostatitis occur almost always. However, in many cases, they are not sufficiently intensive for self-detection. In any case, it is recommended to consult a doctor. You can not ignore such an alarming symptom.
