Allocation in men during arousal is a normal physiological phenomenon, due to the processes occurring in the organs of the reproductive system.
In medicine, the secretion of secretions from the urethra at the time of sexual stimulation is defined by the term libidinal urethra.
The amount of discharge can be different, as well as their nature. When an erection occurs, as a rule, a clear fluid of medium density comes out of the urethra. Its amount and duration of excretion depend on the severity of sexual arousal.
Important: discharge in men, when excited, contains active sperm (in small amounts), which, entering the woman's vagina, can fertilize an egg.
Therefore, representatives of the stronger sex should be careful in the event that the pregnancy of a partner 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 understand which phenomena are considered a deviation from the norm and what should not be of concern.
Pathological conditions
By assessing the discharge from the urethra in men, one can judge the condition of their genitourinary system.
The appearance of an unusual secretion from the urethra often serves as a symptom of the development of pathological disorders. Also, some diseases can be suspected only on this basis, since other specific phenomena may be absent. In view of this, it is important to be attentive to any change in the quality and quantity of secretions secreted.
Nonspecific discharge in excited or resting men often indicates the development of such pathologies:
- Inflammatory processes in the genitourinary tract caused by opportunistic microorganisms or infectious agents.
- Diseases infected with the genital tract (STD).
- Oncological pathologies.
- Complications after surgery.
- The consequences of trauma to the organs of the genitourinary system.
The secret secreted by the urethra can be rare, appear in moderate or abundant quantities. In addition, it may contain blood impurities or pus. The color of the liquid can also be different - transparent, yellowish, greenish, etc. 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 such factors as the severity of the inflammatory process, the state of the immune system, the presence of concomitant diseases.
A viscous transparent discharge in humans, when excited or in a calm state, may indicate such infectious pathologies: mycoplasmosis, chlamydia, ureaplasmosis. Such a pathological secret contains a large percentage of leukocytes. With a complicated course of these diseases, purulent impurities can be found in the discharge. If chlamydia does develop, fluid builds up and sticks to the head of the penis, sticking to the foreskin.
Very often, an unusual discharge is the result of other infectious pathologies. We are talking about infection with candidiasis, staphylococci or streptococci, Escherichia coli, etc. Men are worried not only about strange discharge, but also about other signs of damage - itching, hyperemia, swelling of the tissues of the external genitalia.
The reasons for the appearance of a pathological secret can be the following factors:
- non-gonorrhea urethritis;
- hematorrhea;
- prostatorrhea;
- balanoposthitis;
- spermatorrhea.
If men observe any changes in the nature of the discharge from the urethra, they should definitely seek the advice of a specialist, be examined and, if necessary, undergo appropriate treatment.
Normal states
To distinguish pathological discharges from physiological discharges, you need to know what is considered the norm.
- Generous urethrorrhea- that is, a secret formed under the influence of sexual stimulation.
- Sperm- fluid coming out of the urethra during ejaculation. Such a discharge is white, contains a high percentage of sperm and a secret from the gonads. Semen is produced during orgasm at the end of intercourse, masturbation or during emission.
- Smegma- a secret secreted by the glands located in the glans area of the penis. Smegma does not appear in men who regularly perform hygienic procedures and monitor the cleanliness of the penis.
Conclusion
Thus, we found out what kind of discharge 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 pay attention to their health!
