What Causes Brown Discolouration In Saliva?
Question: this morning I noticed that I spit in to the sick that my saliva was tinged with brown, as was my tongue. Looked really gross. Anything to worry about? I did have a bottle of coke the night before, and forgot to brush my teeth the night before. I also masturbated that morning before spitting. Could I have given myself an infection? I did urinate several times after.
Brief Answer:
Bad oral hygiene. If recurs get tested
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Brownish tint in spit was likely due to coke you took and brushing before bed. This makes it a poor oral hygiene and bad oral hygiene can give a brownish tint to spit.
Just masturbation before spit does not cause infection of oral cavity. I would suggest maintain a good oral hygiene, brush your teeth and avoid these soda drinks and see if it helps. If the spit recurs then we may consider it for infections of oral cavity and you may need to pay an oral hygienist a visit.
Right now nothing to worry about. I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please

Thank you so much for your answer and allaying my concerns. Just to be clear, no worries about a urinary tract infection either from the saliva?
Brief Answer:
Less likely.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getitng back to me
Urinary tract infection is possible if you used spit to masturbate but that too is mostly urethritis and resolves on its own. if you have urinary symptoms of discomfort, i would like you to get evaluated for the cause by a simple urine routine exam.
I hope it helps.
