Discharge in men during arousal is a normal physiological phenomenon caused by the processes taking place in the organs of the reproductive system.
In medicine, secretion from the urethra during sexual stimulation is defined as libidinal urethrorhoea.
The amount of discharge can vary, as can their nature.When an erection occurs, as a rule, a clear liquid of medium density comes out of the urethra.Its quantity and duration of release depends on the strength of sexual excitement.
Important: discharge in men when they are excited contains active sperm (in small quantities), which, penetrating the woman's vagina, can fertilize the egg.
Therefore, representatives of the stronger sex must be careful in the case when the partner's pregnancy is not planned.
In some situations, the amount of discharge is too abundant and this may indicate the development of diseases of the genitourinary tract.Let's try to understand which phenomena are considered deviations from the norm, and which should not be of concern.
Pathological conditions
By evaluating the discharge from the urethra in men, the state of their genitourinary system can be evaluated.
The appearance of uncharacteristic secretions from the urethra is often a symptom of the development of pathological disorders.In addition, some diseases can be suspected only on this basis, because other specific phenomena may be absent.With this in mind, it is important to pay attention to any changes in the quality and quantity of secreted secretions.
Non-specific discharge in men during arousal 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.
The secretion secreted from the urethra can be scanty, occurring in moderate or copious amounts.In addition, 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 discharge (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 accompanying diseases.
Sticky transparent discharge in men when they are excited or at rest can 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 sticks to the head of the penis, sticking the foreskin together.
Uncharacteristic discharge is often the result of other infectious pathologies.We are talking about infection with candidiasis, staphylococcus or streptococcus, 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 secretions:
- non-gonorrheal urethritis;
- hematorrhea;
- prostatorrhea;
- balanoposthitis;
- spermatorrhoea.
If men notice changes in the nature of the discharge from the urethra, they should definitely seek the advice of a specialist, be examined and, if necessary, undergo appropriate treatment.
Normal conditions
To distinguish pathological discharge from physiological, you need to know what is considered normal.
- Libidinal urethrorhoea- that is, the secretion created under the influence of sexual stimulation.
- Sperm- liquid that comes out of the urethra during ejaculation.Such discharge is white in color and contains a high percentage of sperm and secretions from the gonads.Sperm occurs during orgasm at the end of sexual intercourse, masturbation or during wet dreams.
- Smegma- secretion secreted by the glands located in the area of the glans penis.Smegma does not appear in men who regularly perform hygiene procedures and keep their penis clean.
Conclusion
So, 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 becomes a reason to contact a specialist.
We recommend that representatives of the stronger sex regularly undergo preventive examinations at the urologist and take care of their health!
