The appearance of secrets excreted from the human body illustrates both norms and deviations. For example, runny nose or otitis media, the appearance of fluid clearly indicates the disease. The human reproductive system is much more complicated. When a man is excited, his secretions can report a normal state of health, and vice versa, indicating the development of the disease.
Should men have discharge during sexual arousal?
In men, the appearance of mucus in the urethra is a natural and necessary process in some cases. When an erection occurs, there will be a few drops of transparent discharge in volume. They are called pre-semen, and this physiological phenomenon is completely normal.
The amount of mucus secreted depends entirely on the characteristics of the male body, and certain characteristics must be met to be considered normal. In particular, there should be no excessive density, color, or special smell.
The secret will appear in the following situations that cause an erection:
- Masturbation;
- Partner's sexual caress;
- Thoughts about intimacy.
The frequency of this phenomenon also depends on the characteristics of the reproductive system. Some men will have secretions every time they are sexually aroused, while others rarely see it.
From a medical expert's point of view, the presence of exudate during sexual arousal promotes conception-it acts as an extra conductor of sperm in the process of reaching the egg and reduces the acidity level of the woman's vagina, thereby destroying the sperm. Therefore, the secretions of the reproductive organs play an active role in the fertilization process and are considered to be an important mechanism of the male reproductive system.
Why is this happening?
Doctors have not fully determined the cause of penile leakage, but it has been proven that the lubricant released by men during sexual arousal can help promote the withdrawal of the genital head from the folds of injury or damage. It is necessary to carefully observe the hygiene of the private parts, the secretions are an excellent breeding ground for pathogenic bacteria.
It is important to note that long-term abstinence will cause more secretions, and the secret ingredients will become thicker and turbid. It must be ensured that there is no discoloration, no blood stains or unpleasant odors. Some doctors believe that fluids occur because the body is preparing to have an intimate relationship with women.
There are many reasons for the appearance of pathological secretions:
- Improper nutrition, especially the use of sour, spicy, and kimchi;
- Inflammatory process caused by pathogenic bacteria;
- Sexually transmitted diseases;
- Complications after surgery or injury;
- Tumor pathology.
Type of discharge
Several types of secretions are normal, provided they are not accompanied by other signs.
However, if specific odors, itching, fever, sore groin or penis become concomitant factors, then this is already a concern and refer to a urologist.
Types of emissions related to regulations
The three secrets produced and flowed out are considered absolutely normal and natural.
- Characters of urethral discharge. The secret of lubrication. It looks like a liquid of transparent consistency and tasteless. Appears in small batches, which will not cause inconvenience. The composition contains a small amount of sperm, but unprotected sex may cause the partner to become pregnant;
- Spegma. The secret of white, sometimes yellowish, often smells unpleasant. The secretion of fluid is provided by glands located under the foreskin. Its appearance does not mean sickness, but indicates that the person has neglected the personal hygiene rules;
- sperm. White liquid with viscous consistency. There will be discharge from the urethra during orgasm. Contains a high percentage of sperm and secretions.
Secretions contain mucus
They often herald the occurrence of sexually transmitted diseases. When the secret has high viscosity but remains transparent, the probability of the following diseases is high:
In addition, the disease is confirmed by the presence of high levels of white blood cells in a blood test.
Purulent discharge
Evidence of gonorrhea. The liquid flowing out was yellow, slightly green, and had an unpleasant odor. The consistency is thick and sticky. When conducting a secret analysis, a large number of white blood cells will be discovered.
Discharged during inflammation
Inflammatory diseases that change the composition of secretions are caused by:
- Staphylococcus aureus;
- Escherichia coli;
- Candida
- Streptococcus.
When non-gonococcal urethritis occurs—the urethra is inflamed, the secretion fluid is characterized by:
- Turbidity and viscosity;
- The presence of mucus;
- Purulent content.
It is accompanied by soreness, discomfort, and itching.
For foreskin diseases and balanoposthitis, it is characterized by rich secretions and contains a lot of purulent contents. There is redness, swelling, and severe soreness.
Prostatitis is characterized by the secretion of mucus mixed with pus. Other symptoms include pain, decreased erectile function, and frequent bladder emptying.
To determine candidiasis, it is enough to study the photos, which depict one of its secret features. It has the consistency of curd, and this form of fungal disease is accompanied by redness of the glans and unbearable itching.
Discharge with blood
The secret containing blood requires the most careful attention. Similar signs indicate:
- Infectious diseases, especially chronic infectious urethritis;
- Urinary tract injury during medical treatment;
- Remove sand and stones from the kidneys, and you can see more blood when you urinate;
- Malignant formation of the prostate, ovary, and genital area. In this case, the secretion contains brown or dark blood, usually in the form of a clot.
Norms or deviations?
A clear sign of pathology is the presence of mucus, pus, discoloration, fishy or sour taste, stickiness or turbidity.
- Average density
- transparency;
- There is no smell.
For small changes in color and consistency, it is important to analyze:
- Whether there is a casual and unprotected relationship in your own sex life;
- Factors that cause the body's protective function to decline;
- Possible changes in the regular menu;
- Accompanying the existence of disease.
Do I need to see a doctor?
Seeing a doctor right away requires a compelling secret, which is unusual for a man. Any changes in liquid structure and color need to be checked to determine the factors causing such violations.
Diagnostic measures include:
- Sperm map
- Urethral swab;
- Ultrasound examination of genitourinary system organs;
- Urine collection for general analysis;
- Clinical blood test.
Based on the results of the diagnosis, a treatment plan is formulated for the underlying disease that causes the appearance of pathological exudate. Ignoring these signs can lead to deterioration of health and turn the disease into a chronic disease that is difficult to treat. Seeing a urologist in time can help you deal with the disease quickly and stay healthy for a long time.
When the penis is in a state of excitement, a small amount of fluid is released from the urethra. This is a normal phenomenon inherent in almost all healthy men. As the disease progresses, the consistency and volume of the lubricant will change. An unpleasant smell, pain, or burning sensation when urinating or erecting. This clinical situation requires a person's special attention because it poses a health threat.
The secretion of men during sexual arousal is called pre-ejaculation. The moment this guy was awakened, it protruded from the urethra. The preseeds are secreted by the bulbar urethral glands and Littre's glands, which are located throughout the canal, from the outer opening to the bladder neck.
When a man is excited, the discharge has the following functions:
- Allow semen to pass through the urethra freely;
- Destroy bacteria;
- Moisturize and inhibit the acidic environment in the urethra.
Pre-seeds can also act as a lubricant during sexual intercourse, but in most cases, the amount allocated is not enough for this purpose. Ejaculation is one of the components of semen. It enters the semen during ejaculation and mixes with the semen to protect the sperm from the acidic environment of the female vagina.
The amount of pre-shoot directly depends on the man's excitement. Strong sexual desire can achieve maximum concentration. The normal liquid volume is 5 ml.
Some members of the stronger sex are physiologically unable to produce lubricants. The absence of semen during erection reduces the ability to conceive.
Healthy precum has the following characteristics:
- Lack of smell
- transparency;
- Viscosity
- No lumps or inclusions;
- Does not cause unpleasant or painful feelings.
The pre-seed performs a cleaning function, so its consistency can be changed. Men may observe lubricant turbidity before repeated sexual intercourse, lack of hygiene, or ejaculation. It will return to normal in 1-2 days. Otherwise, the development of the disease process should be suspected.
Pathological mucus secretions in men differ from healthy ones in color, smell, and consistency. They are almost always accompanied by unpleasant feelings.
Signs of abnormal lubrication:
- Fluid in the urethra during the day;
- An unpleasant smell appears;
- Pain during urination;
- Excessive mucus formation;
- Voluntary release of lubricant in the absence of sexual arousal;
- The presence of third-party inclusions;
- The consistency changes to too thick or too liquid.
These signs are characteristic of the pathological process that indicates the development of the disease.
Male unhealthy secretions are divided into the following types:
| A sort of | describe |
|---|---|
| Spermatorrhea | The semen leaked spontaneously without reaching orgasm. The reason for this process is the decreased muscle tone of the vas deferens. Pathology develops due to chronic inflammation |
| Bleeding | Release oil contaminated by blood. Urethral mucosal damage appears |
| Leukocytic urethral leak | The exudative phase of the inflammatory process caused by thermal, mechanical, chemical or viral damage to the urethral mucosa |
| Mucopurulent | They are composed of a small amount of white blood cells, serum and glandular secretions. This mucus is characterized by its active formation at night. The man noticed that pus had flowed out in the morning, and there were yellow spots on his underwear. Mucopurulent secretions appear when the urethra is destroyed by bacteria: Trichomonas, Uroplasma, Chlamydia |
| Suppuration | Including a large number of white blood cells, urethral epithelium, mucus and serous fluid. They have a thick consistency and an unpleasant smell. They appear as droplets with a yellow or green hue. Evidence of the development of gonococcal urethritis formed in the context of chlamydia and gonorrhea |
The amount of mucus secreted can be more or less. Scarce lubrication is hard to find. To do this, you must put pressure on the urethra to make the fluid protrude from the opening. It dries quickly and forms a thin film on the glans membrane. The sticky consistency causes urethral sponge adhesion.
Pre-ejaculate (pre-ejaculate, or Cooper's Fluid) is a clear, colorless, and viscous pre-semen, which will be released from the urethra of the male penis to the outside when his sexual desire is high. In interpersonal communication, premature ejaculation is inevitable. This secret is also secreted by men during masturbation, preparing for intercourse (for example, petting) or in the early stages of mating, before the man has fully orgasm and ejaculated.
Origin before ejaculation
The preseed is mainly formed by the bulbar urethral glands (Cooper glands) and Littre glands.
Littre's gland is an additional site for pre-seed formation. These are the urethral tubular acinar glands of the urethra, located the entire length of the urethra, from the external opening to the bladder neck, in the submucosa, fibromuscular layer, and connective tissue layer. They secrete and excrete mucus, the amount of which increases with sexual arousal. Together with the secretion of the Cooper glands, the secretions of the Littre glands can also moisturize the urethra and maintain an alkaline reaction that is conducive to the sperm as they pass through the urethra.
Pre-sperm volume
The amount of pre-semen secreted by men varies from person to person. Some people do not excrete the former seed, while in others, its volume reaches 5 ml. The front of the seed contains many chemicals found in the seed, such as acid phosphatase. And some seed markers, such as gamma-glutamyltransferase, are completely absent before the seed.
function performed by preseed
The acidic environment of men's urethra and women's vagina is not good for men's semen. The pre-sperm neutralizes the residual acidity in the urethra caused by urine, thereby creating a more favorable environment for the passage of sperm. Under normal circumstances, the vaginal environment is acidic; sperm may change the vaginal environment before ejaculation to promote semen survival. The pre-sperm can extract the sperm remaining in the urethra from the previous ejaculation. Pre-sperm does not act as a lubricant during intercourse, but promotes the passage of sperm through the tube during ejaculation, and also participates in semen solidification.
Risks associated with pre-seed exposure
Studies have shown that HIV is present in most semen samples from HIV-infected people. Infection with the immunodeficiency virus can lead to HIV infection, the final stage of which is called AIDS. Many people also expressed concern that it is impossible to find sperm in the pre-semen and therefore cannot lead to pregnancy, using this fact to oppose the use of interruption of intercourse (removal of the penis) as a method of preventing pregnancy. There are no large studies to determine the amount of sperm in the presperm, but some small studies indicate that the sperm is present in the presperm. Ejaculate released after recent ejaculation may also contain semen, because there is always some ejaculation remaining in the duct after orgasm.
Strengthen pre-semen education
Some men worry about the amount of pre-semen they release. A doctor described a patient who was confused by the leakage of pre-seeds from his pants during kissing and other mild erotic stimulation. When these men were treated with 5-α reductase inhibitors, some reports showed satisfactory results [5]. In this case, a doctor recommends a differential diagnosis of prostatic fluid, which secretes the prostate when urinating or defecation is exerted.
Religious attitude
For Sunni Muslims, releasing the pre-seed during a proper sleep period requires a purification ritual.
