Introduction Urethral secretions can be classified into mucinous, bloody, and purulent according to their traits.

The purulent discharge of the urethra is yellow and sticky, which is common in acute urethritis. Bloody secretions of the urethra, which refers to the mixture of blood and mucus, which is more common in urethra and reproductive tract infections.

Cause

Chronic prostatitis, acute urethritis, urinary tract and reproductive tract infections. Because the male urethra is the common outlet channel for semen discharge and urine flow, it is normal for adult males to occasionally discharge white mucus-like urine from the urethra without any concern. However, when white mucus urine is often discharged, it may be a symptom of a disease such as prostatitis, non-gonococcal urethritis or gonorrhea.

According to medical history and bacteriology. Centrifugal leukocytosis 5 / HP, urinary leukocyte excretion rate of 200,000 ~ 400,000 / h is suspicious, 400,000 / h has diagnostic significance. Urine colony counts range from 10,000 to 100,000/ml, women are suspicious, men have diagnostic significance, and >100,000/ml can be diagnosed. ACB, U2 m, and urine lysozyme assays are helpful in distinguishing upper and lower urinary tract infections. X-ray and B-ultrasound are also helpful for diagnosis.

Differential diagnosis

The main symptom of acute urethritis in male patients is that there are more urethral secretions, which begin to be mucinous and gradually become purulent. In female patients, urethral secretion is rare.
