Allocation in men with 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 level of discharge can vary as well as its type. When an erection occurs, a clear, medium-density fluid usually emerges from the urethra. The amount and duration of elimination depends on the severity of sexual arousal.
Important: The discharge in men contains active sperm (in small amounts) when aroused, which penetrates the woman's vagina and can fertilize an egg cell.
Therefore, representatives of the stronger sex need to be careful in the event that pregnancy is not planned for a partner.
In some situations, the amount of discharge is too high and this may indicate the development of diseases of the genitourinary tract. Let's try to find out what phenomena are considered a deviation from the norm and what should not cause concern.
Pathological conditions
By assessing the discharge from the urethra in men, one can assess the condition of their genitourinary system.
The appearance of unusual secretion from the urethra often serves as a symptom of the development of pathological disorders. In addition, some diseases can only be suspected on this basis, since other specific phenomena may be absent. With this in mind, it is important to watch out for changes in the quality and quantity of secretions secreted.
Non-specific discharge in men with arousal or at rest often indicates the development of such pathologies:
- Inflammatory processes in the urogenital tract caused by opportunistic microorganisms or infectious agents.
- Diseases that are infected via the genital tract (STD).
- Oncological pathologies.
- Postoperative complications.
- The consequences of trauma to the organs of the genitourinary system.
The secret secreted from the urethra can be sparse, occur in moderate or copious amounts. It can also contain blood or pus contaminants. 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 nature of the causative agent. There are also factors such as the severity of the inflammatory process, the state of the immune system and the presence of concomitant diseases.
Viscous transparent discharge in men, when excited or in a calm state, can 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. When chlamydia develops, fluid collects and clings to the head of the penis, causing the foreskin to stick together.
Very often an uncharacteristic discharge is the result of other infectious pathologies. We are talking about infection with candidiasis, staphylococci or streptococci, Escherichia coli and so on. Men are worried not only about strange discharges, but also about other signs of damage - itching, hyperemia, swelling of the tissues of the external genital organs.
The reasons for the appearance of a pathological secret can be the following factors:
- non-gonorrheal urethritis;
- Hematorrhea;
- Prostator rhea;
- Balanoposthitis;
- Spermatorrhea.
If men observe changes in the nature of the discharge from the urethra, they should definitely seek the advice of a specialist, be examined and, if necessary, given appropriate treatment.
Normal conditions
To distinguish pathological from physiological discharges, you need to know what is considered the norm.
- Libid urethra- that is, a secret that arises under the influence of sexual stimulation.
- sperm- the fluid that leaves the urethra during ejaculation. Such a discharge is white, contains a high percentage of sperm and a secret of the gonads. Semen is produced during orgasm at the end of intercourse, masturbation, or during emission.
- Smegma- a secret secreted by the glands in the area of the glans. Smegma does not occur in men who regularly perform hygiene practices and monitor the cleanliness of the penis.
Conclusion
So we figured out what kind of discharge in men during arousal is a natural physiological phenomenon, and also figured out what should be alarming and become a reason to contact a specialist.
Representatives of the stronger sex are advised to undergo regular preventive examinations by a urologist and to take care of their health!
