Discharge in men during arousal is a normal physiological phenomenon caused by processes occurring in the organs of the reproductive system.
In medicine, secretion from the urethra at the time of sexual stimulation is defined as libidinal urethrorrhea.
The amount of discharge may 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 depends on the severity of sexual arousal.
Important: discharge in men when aroused contains active sperm (in small quantities), which, penetrating into the woman’s vagina, can fertilize the egg.
Therefore, representatives of the stronger sex need to be careful in the case when their partner’s pregnancy is not planned.
In some situations, the amount of discharge is too abundant and this may indicate the development of diseases of the genitourinary tract.Let's try to figure out what phenomena are considered a deviation from the norm, and what should not cause concern.
Pathological conditions
By assessing the discharge from the urethra in men, one can judge the condition of their genitourinary system.
The appearance of uncharacteristic secretion from the urethra is often a symptom of the development of pathological disorders.In addition, some diseases can be suspected solely on this basis, since other specific phenomena may be absent.In view of this, it is important to be attentive 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 that are transmitted through the genital tract (STDs).
- Oncological pathologies.
- Complications after surgery.
- Consequences of injury to the genitourinary system.
The secretion secreted from the urethra can be scanty, appear in moderate or abundant quantities.In addition, 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 discharge (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.
Sticky transparent discharge 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 discharge.When chlamydia develops, fluid accumulates and sticks to the head of the penis, sticking the foreskin together.
Quite often, uncharacteristic 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 about strange discharge, but also about other signs of damage - itching, hyperemia, swelling of the tissues of the external genital organs.
The following factors can cause the appearance of pathological secretion:
- nongonorrheal urethritis;
- hematorrhea;
- prostatorrhea;
- balanoposthitis;
- spermatorrhoea.
If men observe changes in the nature of discharge 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, you need to know what is considered normal.
- Libidinal urethrorrhea- that is, a secretion formed under the influence of sexual stimulation.
- Sperm- fluid that comes out of the urethra during ejaculation.Such discharge is white and contains a high percentage of sperm and secretions from the gonads.Sperm occurs during orgasm at the end of sexual intercourse, masturbation, or during wet dreams.
- Smegma- a secretion secreted by glands located in the area of the glans penis.Smegma does not appear in men who regularly perform hygiene procedures and keep their penis clean.
Conclusion
So, we found out what kind of discharge in men during arousal is a natural physiological phenomenon, and we also figured out what should be alarming and becomes 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!
