A few drops of thick liquid at the end of urination

The thick liquid discharged at the end of urination may be prostatic fluid or bulbourethral gland secretions. It is common after sexual excitement, chronic prostatitis, urethritis, seminal vesiculitis or incomplete contraction of urinary muscles. Most of them are physiological phenomena. If accompanied by symptoms such as pain and frequent urination, you need to seek medical attention.

1. Sexual excitement residue:

When men are sexually aroused, the bulbourethral glands secrete clear mucus to lubricate the urethra, which may be excreted with urine during urination. This type of secretion is usually odorless and small in amount. It is a normal physiological phenomenon and does not require special treatment.

2. Chronic prostatitis:

Inflammatory stimulation may cause prostatic fluid to overflow at the end of urination, and the secretions are mostly milky white. It may be related to factors such as sitting for a long time and holding in urine. It is usually accompanied by perineal swelling and pain and a feeling of inability to urinate. Routine examination of prostate fluid can be performed to confirm the diagnosis.

3. Urethritis:

Urethritis caused by gonococcal or chlamydial infection can cause purulent discharge from the urethra, which is washed away by urine during urination and finally discharged. The pathogen needs to be confirmed through urine culture, and common treatments include ceftriaxone, azithromycin, etc.

4. Seminal vesiculitis:

Bloody viscous secretions may appear when the seminal vesicles are inflamed, which is often related to bacterial retrograde infection. Typical symptoms include painful ejaculation, hematospermia, and enlarged seminal vesicles can be palpated by digital rectal examination. Ultrasound examination is helpful in diagnosis.

5. Abnormal urination function:

Impaired coordination between the bladder detrusor and urethral sphincter may result in residual urine that becomes concentrated to form a mucus-like substance. It is common in patients with neurological diseases or prostatic hyperplasia, and urodynamic examination can assist in judgment.

It is recommended to drink 1500-2000 ml of water every day to dilute urine and avoid spicy and irritating foods. You can perform levator ani exercises to enhance pelvic floor muscle control. People who sit for long periods of time can get up and move around for 5 minutes every hour. If the discharge lasts for more than 1 week, is abnormal in color, or is accompanied by fever and other symptoms, you need to see a urology department promptly to check for infection or structural problems. Pay attention to daily changes in secretion properties and record accompanying symptoms so that doctors can make accurate judgments.
