When the penis is in an aroused state, a small amount of fluid is secreted from the urethra. This is a normal phenomenon that is inherent in almost all healthy men. The consistency and volume of the lubricant changes with the development of the disease. There is an unpleasant odor, pain or burning sensation when urinating or erect. Such a clinical picture requires special attention from a person, as there is a risk to health.
In men, excretion during arousal is called preejaculation. It comes out of the opening of the urethra at the moment when the boy is excited. Premena is secreted by the bulbourethral glands and liter glands, which are located throughout the canal, from the outer opening to the neck of the bladder.
In men, excitation performs the following functions:
- Ensure free passage of testicular fluid into the urethra;
- Destroys bacteria;
- Moisturizes and suppresses the acidic environment in the urethra.
Premen can also act as a lubricant during intercourse, but in most cases the amount allocated will not be enough for this. The preejaculate is one of the components of sperm. It enters the seminal fluid during ejaculation, interferes with the semen, allowing the sperm to protect the female vagina from the acidic environment.
The volume of pre-ejaculate directly depends on the degree of arousal of the boy. Maximum concentration is achieved through strong sexual desire. The normal amount of fluid is 5 ml.
Some members of the stronger sex are physiologically unable to secrete a lubricant. The absence of a press during an erection reduces the ability to conceive.
A healthy preeaculate has the following characteristics:
- Lack of odor;
- Transparency;
- Viscosity;
- Lack of tumors or tabs;
- Does not cause discomfort or pain.
Pre-seed performs purifying functions, so its consistency may change. Men can observe lubricant clotting during repeated sexual contact, lack of hygiene or before ejaculation. It returns to normal in 1-2 days. Otherwise, the development of a pathogenic process should be suspected.
Abnormal mucus secretion in men differs from healthy mucus in color, odor, and consistency. They are almost always accompanied by discomfort.
Symptoms that indicate a deviation from the norm of the lubricant:
- The appearance of fluid from the urethra during the day;
- The appearance of an unpleasant odor;
- Pain when urinating;
- Producing excessive amounts of mucus;
- Arbitrary release of lubricant without sexual arousal;
- The presence of third-party tabs;
- Change the consistency to very thick or liquid.
These signs are characteristic of pathological processes that indicate the development of the disease.
Unhealthy discharge in men is divided into types:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Is a spermatorea | Voluntary ejaculation of sperm without reaching orgasm. The cause of the process is impaired tone of the vas deferens muscles. The pathology develops due to chronic inflammation |
| Hematuria | Isolation of the lubricant with blood impurities. Occurs with damage to the urethral mucosa |
| Leukocyte urethrorea | The exudative phase of the inflammatory process caused by thermal, mechanical, chemical, or viral damage to the urethral mucosa. |
| Mucocuric | They consist of small amounts of leukocytes, serous fluid, and glandular secretions. This mucus is characterized by active formation at night. The man notices a discharge of pus in the morning, and yellow spots appear on his underwear. Mucous purulent discharge occurs when the urethra is affected by bacteria: Trichomonas, uremicoplasma, chlamydia. |
| Purulent | These include large numbers of leukocytes, urethral epithelium, mucus, and serous fluid. They have a thick consistency and an unpleasant odor. They appear in the form of drops that have a yellow or greenish tinge. Indicate the development of gonococcal urethritis arising on the background of chlamydia and gonorrhea. |
The amount of mucus secreted can be both abundant and small. It can be quite difficult to spot a bad lubrication. To do this you need to press the urethra to get the fluid out of the hole. It dries quickly, forming a membrane on the membrane of the penis. A viscous consistency causes the urethral sponges to stick together.
The emergence of sexual desire in women is accompanied by the secretion and swelling of the mammary glands. However, not everyone knows what opens up in the stronger sex during arousal. Men can produce not only semen during sex, but also a special lubricant that helps the penis slide during friction. This substance is called preejaculate when aroused in men.
Description
During arousal, men produce a colorless, translucent mucus called the ejaculate. It arises with an erection, but may appear after it. If there is no lubrication in men when aroused, then it is a symptom of some kind of pathology related to the reproductive system. The secretion of this fluid prevents damage to the male genitalia during vaginal penetration.
In medicine, lubrication in men is called temporary. This substance is produced not only before sexual intercourse, but also with small sexual arousals, during menstruation and also during masturbation. The appearance of lubrication in men during arousal indicates a desire to enter into an intimate relationship with a partner.
Preseed composition
Preejaculate is a mucous secretion that contains various enzymes and alkalis. Since the environment of a woman's vagina is acidic and rejects male semen, the lubricant neutralizes the aggressiveness of the microflora of such a woman.
There is a myth that a woman can get pregnant by discharging from a man's penis. The fact is that the lubricant does not contain sperm, but it can be there if there was sexual intercourse without contraception, a few hours after masturbation or after the previous sexual intercourse.
To prevent unwanted pregnancies, experts recommend the use of condoms or other contraceptives.
Basic functions
Lubricant is released in men during arousal, it is not only a transparent lubricant, but also a protective reaction of the mucous membrane. Such a discharge facilitates the penetration of the male genitalia into the female vagina and friction if the representative of the fair sex releases a small amount of such a substance.
Lubrication in men during arousal has several very important functions, which are the following:
- Neutralization of increased acidity of vaginal microflora.
- Promote penetration of the penis, facilitate the movement of sperm through the cervix.
- Increase the chance of childbirth.
- Removal of urinary tract contents.
In an acidic environment, sperm die fairly quickly. Thanks to the alkaline press, they invariably enter the genital tract and can fertilize an egg. This is why it has the ability of a male lubricant to protect the viability of sperm.
In addition, this male discharge from the urethra increases the chance of getting pregnant, as the seminal fluid reaches the uterus much faster during the slide. A natural lubricant helps to avoid the use of artificial substitutes and also facilitates the penetration of the penis into the vagina if a woman has a small amount of her own secretion.
What does it look like normal?
So whether a man is resolved during oily arousal. But what does it look like? Outwardly this liquid looks like plain transparent mucus. 1 to 5 ml is excreted during sexual intercourse. This volume is quite enough to make sexual contact comfortable for partners. As part of this seed, there is smegma, which is a fatty substance that accumulates in the atrial folds. If a man is faithful to only one sexual partner or uses a condom during sexual intercourse, then there are no color changes in the fluid composition and additional inserts. Only whitish light shade is possible.
When to see a doctor?
Many women still do not know if men have lubrication when aroused. Some just didn’t pay attention. However, the fact that this fluid is extremely important during sexual contact is a fact.
If any suspicious symptoms appear, the man should immediately consult a doctor. This will allow the disease to be identified at an early stage of its development and, consequently, will lead to a speedy recovery. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to the composition and shade of your pre-seeds. Additional symptoms that help make the diagnosis are as follows:
- Rising body temperature, fever, chills.
- Feeling of pain or discomfort around the organs located in the small pelvis.
- Redness of the skin, swelling and rash.
- Bloody purulent impurities in male secretion.
- Burning and itching in the urethra.
- Hyperemia in the area of the penis.
- Erectile dysfunction, urinary retention.
Similar pathological processes are observed in the male body during arousal and at rest in case of infection with sexually transmitted diseases. If several or even one of the symptoms is found, you should contact your doctor immediately. It is likely that men will need urgent antibiotic therapy.
No pre-ejaculate
If a man has a lot of lubrication in admiration, then it can be called a feature of his body. However, in some cases, the stronger sex do not notice the secretion of fluid during sexual intercourse, since its secretion begins only after penetration into the vagina of the penis.
Lack of lubrication in 5% of cases is a symptom of the presence of some kind of inflammatory disease. In such a situation it is better to consult a specialist about such a problem. It should also be noted that in older people the discharge from the urethra may not be present at all.
Change in consistency and color
It has been said above that if a lot of lubrication is released during arousal in men, this is the norm, but if it is too much, then it should be warned. However, changes in color and consistency are considered a reason to see a doctor. Usually, the color of the seminal fluid is transparent, slightly whitish. You should also pay attention to the density of this secretion. Semen should not be thick, flowing freely from the urinary tract during sexual arousal. The reasons for consulting a specialist are the following:
- An unpleasant odor of fish is formed, which contains the aroma of mold.
- Impurities of pus and blood.
- Change in the structure of the seminal fluid, the formation of a curd, thickening.
- Change the color.
Red, gray, orange, green and other shades are a sign of an infectious or inflammatory process in the body. Thus, the male body responds to any viral or bacterial invasion in it. In some cases, colored discharge is a sign of a natural healing process. For example, after surgery on the prostate gland, after antibiotic therapy or any other surgical intervention.
Transparent viscous discharge in some cases indicates infectious diseases such as streptococcus, staphylococci and also Escherichia coli. However, the appearance of bacteria is observed not only in the pre-seminal fluid but also in other secretions of the male organ.
Opinion of doctors
The gray-green tint of the fluid indicates the presence of infection in the male body. However, this symptom is not always a sign of a sexually transmitted disease as ARVI or the flu can be detected. At the same time, the body temperature in a person rises.
A thick white discharge indicates the development of a fungal disease, most often candidiasis. This disease is transmitted to men by an infected sexual partner. In the detection of this pathogen it is necessary to treat both women and men.
If the fluid is red, then it indicates the development of a urological disease, for example, cystitis, urethritis, but it can also be a symptom of chronic prostatitis and many other diseases that are not related to the genitourinary system.
Conclusion
In this case there is no need for self-medication and giving the course of the disease. Sexually transmitted diseases cause many pathologies and can also lead to rectal dysfunction, urinary problems and a weakened immune system.
The appearance of a secret from the human body informs us about the norm and deviations. For example, in deafness or otitis media, the appearance of fluid clearly indicates disease. The human reproductive system is much more complex. Distribution in men, when excited, may indicate a normal state of health, or, conversely, indicate the development of disease.
Should men have discharge during sexual arousal?
The appearance of mucus in the urethra in men is in some cases a natural and necessary process. When an erection occurs, a transparent discharge appears in the amount of a few drops. They are called presminal fluid, such physiological phenomena are completely normal.
The volume of mucus secretion depends entirely on the characteristics of the male body and must meet certain characteristics in order to be considered the norm. In particular, there should be no excessive density, color, specific odor.
The appearance of secretions occurs in the following cases, which causes an erection:
- Masturbation;
- Sexual coloring of the partner;
- Thoughts of intimacy.
The frequency of occurrence of this phenomenon also depends on the characteristics of the reproductive system. Some men experience discharge with each arousal, while others rarely observe it.
According to medical experts, the presence of exudate during sexual arousal promotes conception - it plays the role of an additional conductor of sperm in the process of getting into the egg and reduces the level of acidity in a woman's vagina, which destroys sperm. . Consequently, discharge from the genitals is actively involved in the fertilization process and is considered to be an important mechanism of the male reproductive system.
ᲠWhy is this happening?
Doctors have not fully determined the cause of the fluid leak from the penis, although it has been proven that the release of a lubricant during arousal in men helps the reproductive organ to emerge from the folds without damaging and damaging it. Careful adherence to intimate hygiene is essential, the excreted fluid is an excellent place for pathogenic bacteria.
It is important to note that prolonged abstinence provokes a much more abundant discharge, while the secretion composition becomes thicker and cloudier. It is necessary to ensure that there is no change in color, blood streaks and unpleasant odors. Some doctors believe that the appearance of fluid is due to the fact that the body is preparing for an intimate relationship with a woman.
Abnormal discharge can occur for a variety of reasons:
- Improper nutrition, namely the use of sour, spicy, pickles;
- Inflammatory processes provoked by pathogenic bacteria;
- Venereal diseases;
- Concomitant complications after surgery or injuries;
- Oncological pathologies.
Varieties of secretion
Several types of discharge are normal, provided they are not accompanied by additional signs.
However, if a specific odor, itching, fever, pain in the groin or penis becomes a contributing factor, then this is already a cause for concern and contact with a urologist.
Norm-related types of discharge
Absolutely normal and natural are 3 kinds of produced and outgoing secret.
- Libidin urethrorea. A secret that has a lubricating function. Looks like a transparent liquid, odorless. Appears in small volumes, does not cause discomfort. It contains a small amount of spermatozoon, however, unprotected sex can lead to partner pregnancy;
- Spegma. A whitish discharge, sometimes having a yellowish tinge, often with an unpleasant odor. Fluid secretion is provided by glands located subcutaneously. Her appearance does not indicate pathology, but it does indicate that the man ignores the rules of personal hygiene;
- sperm. White fluid of mucous consistency. During orgasm, expulsion occurs from the urethra. Contains a high percentage of sperm and secretion.
Mucus-containing secretion
Often indicates the presence of sexually transmitted diseases. In cases where the secretion has increased viscosity but remains transparent, the following diseases are likely:
Also, diseases are confirmed by the presence of high levels of leukocytes in the blood test.
The mucous membranes of the milky light with purulent streaks are accompanied by diseases such as:
In the presence of these pathologies, fluid can be secreted even at rest, after which it attaches to the head of the penis and dries.
Purulent discharge
Evidence of gonorrhea. The resulting liquid is yellow with a greenish tinge and an unpleasant odor. The consistency is thick and sticky. Secret analysis reveals a significant level of leukocytes.
Discharge during inflammation
Inflammatory diseases that change the composition of the secretion are caused by:
- Staphylococcus;
- coli;
- Candida fungi;
- Streptococcus.
When aragonococcal urethritis occurs - inflammation in the urethral canal, characterized by fluid secretion:
- Turbidity and viscosity;
- The presence of mucus;
- Purulent contents.
Accompanied by pain, discomfort, itching.
Explosive disease Balanoposthitis is characterized by abundant discharge containing a lot of purulent contents. Redness, swelling, severe pain are noted.
Prostatitis is characterized by the secretion of mucus mixed with pus. Additional symptoms - pain, impaired erectile function, frequent urge to empty the bladder.
To diagnose candidiasis, it is enough to study the photo, which reveals its characteristic secret. It has a curd consistency, this form of mycosis is accompanied by redness of the penis, unbearable itching.
Discharge with blood
The secret containing blood requires the most careful attention. Similar signs indicate:
- Infectious diseases, especially chronic infectious urethritis;
- Damage to the urethral canal during medical procedures;
- Removal of sand and stones from the kidneys, moreover, blood is noticeable during urination;
- Malignant growths in the prostate gland, ovaries, genitals. In this case the discharge contains brown or dark blood, often in the form of coagulation.
Norm or deviation?
A clear sign of pathology is the presence of mucus, pus, discoloration, fish or sour smell, the appearance of stickiness or turbidity.
- Medium density;
- Transparency;
- Lack of odor.
In addition to diseases, the quality of secretions is affected by:
With slight changes in color and consistency, it is important to analyze:
- Own sex life, presence or absence of casual and vulnerable relationships;
- Factors contributing to the decline of the body's protective functions;
- Possible changes to the usual menu;
- Existence of concomitant diseases.
Do I need to see a doctor?
An immediate visit to the doctor requires a secret uncharacteristic of men. Any change in the structure and color of the fluid requires an examination to determine the factors causing such disturbances.
Diagnostic measures include:
- Spermogram;
- Smear from urethral canal;
- Ultrasound examination of the organs of the genitourinary system;
- Taking urine for general analysis;
- Clinical blood test.
Based on the diagnostic results, the treatment regimen of the underlying disease is prescribed, which led to the appearance of abnormal exudate. Ignoring such signs leads to deterioration of well-being and the transition to a chronic form of the disease, which is difficult to treat. A timely visit to a urologist will allow you to quickly deal with the disease and maintain good health for a long time.
