Discharge in men during arousal is a normal physiological phenomenon caused by processes occurring in the organs of the reproductive system.
In medicine, the secretion from the urethra at the time of sexual stimulation is defined as libidinal urethral rhea.
The amount of discharge can vary, as can its type. During an erection, a clear, medium-thick fluid usually emerges from the urethra.The amount and duration of release depends on the severity of sexual arousal.
Important: In men, when aroused, the discharge contains active sperm (in small quantities), which can penetrate the woman's vagina and fertilize the egg.
Therefore, representatives of the stronger sex need to be careful if their partner's pregnancy is not planned.
In some situations, the amount of discharge is too large 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, one can assess the condition of their urogenital 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 on this basis alone, as other specific phenomena may be missing.With this in mind, it is important to pay attention to changes in the quality and quantity of secretion released.
Nonspecific discharge in men during excitement or at rest often indicates the development of the following pathologies:
- Inflammatory processes in the urogenital 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.
The secretion secreted from the urethra can be scanty, occur in moderate or abundant amounts.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 disease 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 in an excited state 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 builds up and sticks to the glans, sticking the foreskin together.
Very often, uncharacteristic discharge is a consequence of other infectious diseases.We are talking about infection with candidiasis, staphylococci or streptococci, E. 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 genital organs.
The following factors can cause the appearance of pathological secretion:
- nongonorrheic urethritis;
- hematorrhea;
- prostatorrhea;
- balanoposthitis;
- spermatorrhea.
If men observe changes in the nature of the discharge from the urethra, they should definitely seek advice from a specialist, undergo an 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 urethritis- that is, a secretion that is formed under the influence of sexual stimulation.
- semen- Fluid that comes out of the urethra during ejaculation.This discharge is white and contains a high proportion of sperm and secretions from the gonads.Sperm are produced during orgasm at the end of sexual intercourse, during masturbation or during wet dreams.
- Smegma- a secretion secreted by glands in the glans area.Smegma does not occur in men who regularly perform hygiene procedures and keep their penis clean.
Conclusion
So, we figured out what kind of discharge in men during arousal is a natural physiological phenomenon, and we also figured out what should be alarming and a reason to see a specialist.
Representatives of the stronger sex are recommended to regularly undergo preventive examinations at the urologist and take care of their health!
