Discharge in men during arousal is a normal physiological phenomenon due to processes occurring in the organs of the reproductive system.
In medicine, secretions from the urethra at the time of sexual stimulation are defined as urinary discharge due to sexual desire.
The amount of discharge can vary, as can their nature.As a rule, when an erection occurs, a clear fluid of moderate thickness flows from the urethra.The amount and duration of its release depend on the level of sexual arousal.
Important: male secretions when aroused contain active sperm (in small quantities), which will enter the woman's vagina and can fertilize the egg.
Therefore, representatives of the stronger sex need to be careful in case their partner does not plan pregnancy.
In some cases, the amount of discharge is excessive, and this may indicate the development of diseases of the genital tract.Let's try to figure out which phenomena are considered deviations from the norm and which do not cause concern.
Pathological conditions
By evaluating the discharge from the urethra in men, one can assess the condition of their reproductive system.
The appearance of uncharacteristic discharge from the urethra is often a symptom of the development of pathological disorders.Additionally, some diseases may only be suspected on this basis because other specific phenomena may not be present.For this reason, it is important to pay attention to any changes in the quality and quantity of secretions produced.
Nonspecific appearance in men during excitement or at rest often indicates the development of the following pathologies:
- Inflammatory processes in the genital tract are caused by opportunistic microorganisms or infectious agents.
- Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
- Cancer pathology.
- Complications after surgery.
- Consequences of damage to the genitourinary system.
Secretions from the urethra may be light, present in moderate amounts, or large.Additionally, it may contain blood or pus.The color of the liquid can also be different - transparent, yellowish, greenish, etc.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 comorbidities.
Clear sticky discharge in men when excited or at rest can indicate the following infectious pathologies: mycoplasmosis, chlamydia, ureaplasmosis.This pathological secretion contains a large proportion of leukocytes.In the complicated course of these diseases, purulent impurities can be found in the secretions.As chlamydia develops, fluid accumulates and sticks to the head of the penis, tightly sealing the foreskin together.
Quite often, uncharacteristic discharge is a consequence of other infectious pathologies.We are talking about candida infections, staphylococcus or streptococcus, E. coli, etc.Men are worried not only about strange discharge, but also about other signs of damage - itching, congestion, swelling of the tissues of the external genital organs.
The following factors can cause the appearance of excretory pathology:
- non-gonococcal urethritis;
- hemorrhage;
- prostate;
- inflammation of the foreskin;
- sperm flow.
If men observe changes in the properties of secretions from the urethra, they should definitely seek advice from a specialist, go for examination and, if necessary, carry out appropriate treatment.
Normal conditions
To distinguish pathological secretions from physiological secretions, you need to know what is normal.
- free urethra- that is, secretions formed under the influence of sexual stimulation.
- sperm- Fluid flows from the urethra during ejaculation.Such secretions are white and contain a high proportion of sperm and secretions from the gonads.Sperm appears during orgasm at the end of sex, masturbation, or during wet dreams.
- Smegma- a substance secreted from glands located in the glans penis area.Smegma does not appear in men who regularly practice hygiene measures and keep their penis clean.
Conclude
So, we found out what type of discharge a man has when aroused is a natural physiological phenomenon, and we also found out what is alarming and becomes a reason to contact a specialist.
Representatives of the stronger sex should regularly undergo preventive examinations with a urologist and pay attention to their health!
