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 extent of releases may vary, as may 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 when excited contain active spermatozoa (in small quantities) which, entering the woman's vagina, can fertilize the egg.
Therefore, representatives of the stronger sex should be careful in the event that their partner's pregnancy is unplanned.
In some situations, the amount of discharge is too abundant, which may indicate the development of diseases of the genitourinary tract.Let's try to figure out which phenomena are considered a deviation from the norm and which ones should not cause concern.
Pathological conditions
By assessing the discharge from the urethra in a man, one can judge the state of his genitourinary system.
The appearance of unusual secretion from the urethra is often a symptom of the development of pathological disorders.In addition, some diseases can be suspected only on this basis, since other specific phenomena may be absent.Given this, it is important to be alert to any changes in the quality and quantity of secretions 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 (STDs).
- Oncological pathologies.
- Complications after surgery.
- Consequences of injury to the genitourinary system.
Secretions secreted by the urethra can be rare, 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, 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 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 excited or resting humans may indicate the following infectious pathologies: mycoplasmosis, chlamydia, ureaplasmosis.This pathological secretion contains a large percentage of leukocytes.During the complicated course of these diseases, purulent impurities can be found in the discharge.When chlamydia develops, fluid builds up and sticks to the head of the penis, sticking the foreskin together.
Very often, unusual discharge is a consequence of other infectious pathologies.We are talking about infection with candidiasis, staphylococci or streptococci, E. coli, etc.Men worry 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 provoke the appearance of pathological secretions:
- non-gonorrheal urethritis;
- hematorrhea;
- prostatorrhea;
- balanoposthitis;
- spermatorrhea.
If men observe changes in the nature of discharge from the urethra, they should definitely seek advice from a specialist, undergo examination and, if necessary, undergo appropriate treatment.
Normal conditions
To distinguish pathological discharge from physiological discharge, you need to know what is considered normal.
- Libidinal uretrorrhea- that is to say a secretion formed under the influence of sexual stimulation.
- Sperm- liquid that comes out of the urethra during ejaculation.These discharges are white and contain a high percentage of sperm and gonadal secretions.Sperm appear during orgasm, at the end of sexual intercourse, during masturbation or during wet dreams.
- Smegma- a secretion secreted by glands located at the level of the glans.Smegma does not appear in men who regularly perform hygiene procedures and keep their penis clean.
Conclusion
Thus, we found out what kind of discharge in men during arousal is a natural physiological phenomenon, and we 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 by a urologist and be attentive to their health!
