Discharge in men during arousal is a normal physiological phenomenon caused by processes occurring in the organs of the reproductive system.
In medicine, discharge from the urethra at the time of sexual stimulation is called libidinal urethrorrhea.
The amount of discharge can vary, as can their nature.When an erection occurs, as a rule, a clear liquid of medium thickness comes out of the urethra.Its quantity and duration of release depend on the severity of sexual arousal.
Important: secretions in men during arousal contain active spermatozoa (in small quantities) which, penetrating the woman's vagina, can fertilize the egg.
Therefore, representatives of the stronger sex need to be careful in case their partner's pregnancy is unplanned.
In some situations, the amount of secretions is too abundant and this may indicate the development of diseases of the genitourinary tract.Let's try to understand what phenomena are considered a deviation from the norm and what should not cause concern.
Pathological conditions
By evaluating the secretion from the urethra in men, one can judge the state of their genitourinary system.
The appearance of unusual discharge from the urethra is often a symptom of the development of pathological disorders.Furthermore, some diseases can be suspected solely on this basis, since other specific phenomena may be absent.In view of this, it is important to pay attention to any changes in the quality and quantity of the secretion released.
Nonspecific discharge in men during excitement or at rest often indicates the development of the following pathologies:
- Inflammatory processes in the genitourinary tract caused by opportunistic microorganisms or infectious agents.
- Diseases transmitted through the genital tract (STD).
- Oncological pathologies.
- Complications after surgery.
- Consequences of damage to the genitourinary system.
The secretion secreted by the urethra may be scanty, appearing in moderate or abundant quantities.Additionally, it may contain blood or pus.The color of the liquid can also be different: transparent, yellowish, greenish and so on.The consistency of the secretions (thick or liquid), like other characteristics, depends on the nature of the origin of the disorder and the type of pathogen.There are also factors such as the severity of the inflammatory process, the state of the immune system and the presence of concomitant diseases.
Transparent, sticky secretions in men when excited or at rest may indicate the following infectious pathologies: mycoplasmosis, chlamydia, ureaplasmosis.This pathological secretion contains a large percentage of leukocytes.In the complicated course of these diseases, purulent impurities can be found in the secretions.When chlamydia develops, fluid builds up and sticks to the head of the penis, binding the foreskin together.
Most often, unusual discharge is a consequence of other infectious pathologies.We are talking about infection with candidiasis, staphylococci or streptococci, E. coli and so on.Men are worried not only by strange secretions, but also by other signs of damage: itching, hyperemia, swelling of the tissues of the external genital organs.
The following factors can cause the appearance of pathological secretions:
- nongonorrheal urethritis;
- hematorrhea;
- prostatorrhea;
- balanoposthitis;
- spermatorrhea.
If men observe changes in the nature of secretions from the urethra, they should definitely seek advice from a specialist, be examined and, if necessary, undergo appropriate treatment.
Normal conditions
To distinguish pathological discharge from physiological discharge, it is necessary to know what is considered normal.
- Libidinal urethrorrhea- that is, a secretion formed under the influence of sexual stimulation.
- Semen- fluid that comes out of the urethra during ejaculation.These secretions are white and contain a high percentage of sperm and gonadal secretions.Sperm occurs during orgasm at the end of sexual intercourse, during masturbation or during wet dreams.
- Smegma- a secretion secreted by glands located in the glans area.Smegma does not appear in men who regularly perform hygiene procedures and keep their penis clean.
Conclusion
So, we found out what kind of secretion in men during arousal is a natural physiological phenomenon, and also understood what should be alarming and become a reason to contact a specialist.
Representatives of the stronger sex are recommended to regularly undergo preventive examinations with a urologist and be attentive to their health!
