Secretion 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 secretion can vary, as can its nature.When an erection occurs, as a rule, a transparent liquid of medium thickness comes out of the urethra.The amount and duration of release depend on the severity of sexual arousal.
Important: discharge in a man when excited contains active sperm (in small quantities), which, penetrating the woman's vagina, can fertilize the egg.
Therefore, representatives of the stronger sex need to be careful if their partner's pregnancy is unplanned.
In some situations, the amount of secretion is very abundant and this may indicate the development of diseases of the genitourinary tract.Let's try to figure out which phenomena are considered deviations from the norm and which should not cause concern.
Pathological conditions
By assessing discharge from the urethra in men, the condition of their genitourinary system can be assessed.
The appearance of atypical discharge from the urethra is often a symptom of the development of pathological disorders.Furthermore, some diseases may be suspected on this basis alone, since other specific phenomena may be absent.Therefore, it is important to be aware of any changes in the quality and quantity of the secretion released.
Nonspecific discharge in men during excitement or at rest usually 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 injury to the genitourinary system.
The secretion secreted by the urethra may be scarce, appear 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 secretion (thick or liquid), as well as 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 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 adheres to the head of the penis, pulling the foreskin together.
Often, atypical 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 other signs of damage - itching, hyperemia, swelling of the tissues of the external genital organs.
The following factors can cause the appearance of pathological discharge:
- non-gonorrheal urethritis;
- hematorrhea;
- prostatorrhea;
- balanoposthitis;
- spermatorrhoea.
If men notice changes in the nature of discharge from the urethra, they should definitely consult 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.This secretion is white and contains a high percentage of sperm and gonad 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 of the penis.Smegma does not appear in men who regularly perform hygiene procedures and keep the penis clean.
Conclusion
So, we found out what kind of discharge in men during arousal is a natural physiological phenomenon, and we also found out what should be alarming and becomes a reason to see a specialist.
It is recommended that representatives of the stronger sex regularly undergo preventive examinations with a urologist and pay attention to their health!
