The pre-ejaculatory or premenstrual fluid on her behalf clearly shows what appears before ejaculation during orgasm. Unconsciously, men may be frightened, believing that discharge is premature, and women are afraid of becoming pregnant.
Knowing the nature of the formation and composition of the pre-ejaculate will allow you to bring harmony and calm in the relationship.
What is precum
Cooper's seminal fluid or fluid is formed in a man at the exit of the urethra in a state of sexual arousal, it looks like a transparent viscous drop without color. It is excreted during sexual intercourse or foreplay.
Cooper's (bulbourethral) glands are the main source of seminal fluid. Littre's glands serve as an additional site for pre-seed formation.
Formation mechanism
The bulbourethral or copper glands, located in the muscles of the perineum at the base of the penis, produce male natural lubrication. The Littre glands, located inside the urethra from the bladder to the outer opening, can also perform the function of lubricating the penis. They secrete mucous, alkaline fluid, increasing the volume of pre-ejaculate produced by the Cooper's glands.
Upon reaching sexual arousal, the pelvic muscles contract, blocking the urethra and preventing urination during intercourse. At this point, the glands of Cooper and Littre begin to secrete male lubrication.
Depending on the physiological characteristics of each man, the amount of pre-seed is different, usually ranging from two drops to 5 ml. Under certain circumstances, the amount of disposal may be higher.
Structure
Fluid before ejaculation is released when a man's genitals are highly aroused. Pre-seed is alkaline and contains a number of chemicals.
The structure of the pre-ejaculate is a colloidal, gel-like mass consisting of:
- water:
- a number of enzymes and glycopolysaccharides:
- ions of potassium, calcium, sodium and a little magnesium.
Sperm in the seminal fluid can be accidental when they enter it after previous intercourse or masturbation.
Functions
A man's urethra, like a woman's vagina, has an acidic environment that kills sperm. The pre-seed substance neutralizes the acidity and creates a favorable environment for the seeds.
Pre-ejaculatory fluid has other useful functions:
- is a lubricant for painless insertion of the penis into the vagina, facilitating the application of friction during intercourse,
- facilitates the movement of ejaculate through the genital tract by moisturizing it,
- clears the urethra of the remnants of previous ejaculation and urine,
- protects semen from damage.
Pre-sperm and pregnancy
Fertilization of the ovum from the pre-ejaculatory fluid is not possible. There are no sperm in the pre-ejaculate sperm, but the likelihood of them entering the lubricant remains after a previous orgasm, especially a recent one.
Pregnancy can occur if:
- sperm entering Cooper's fluid,
- the seed has a high degree of activity,
- sexual intercourse occurs at the most favorable time for conception in a woman.
Sperm live for a few seconds in an unfavorable environment, but the strongest manage to survive in the canal of the male genitalia or on the surface of the head until the next unprotected intercourse.
Does it contain semen
There are no sperm in the seminal fluid. They do not fall into it at the time of formation. Seeds and pre-seeds are produced by various unrelated organs. The lubricant is released by the man before ejaculation.
The likelihood of viable sperm entering the precum from the outside remains after recent unprotected intercourse or masturbation.
The practice of interrupted sexual intercourse
The superstition about the ability of the male natural lubricant to fertilize an egg may have arisen since the onset of pregnancy, using interrupted intercourse as a method of contraception. To avoid conception with this method, the man removes the penis from the vagina before ejaculation. But if in a state of strong arousal he failed to remove his organ before the onset of ejaculation, then fertilization of the egg, even with a small amount from the first ejection of sperm is quite possible.
Unprotected sex during the practice of interrupted intercourse allows a woman to become pregnant with the repeated ejaculation of a man, when the sperm from the previous ejaculation can enter the egg with the released lubricant.
If the precum enters the vagina
Based on the fact that one of the purposes of the seminal fluid is to facilitate the introduction of the male genital organ into the female and to lubricate during friction, it is natural that it enters the vagina.
If the partners are planning to get pregnant, then such a blow to the lubricant will only help. Otherwise, it is necessary to observe the precautions during unprotected sexual intercourse or to switch to the use of contraceptives.
Preseed analyzes
Due to cases of pregnancy, when termination of intercourse is used as a method of contraception, there is a misconception about the content of ejaculate in a man's natural lubricant. The assumption has found a place in a number of articles in the medical literature, some university teachers present incorrect information to students.
To determine the truth, an experiment was conducted in Israel with preliminary analyzes of participants in a volunteer project. Pre-ejaculate is taken by absolutely healthy men and having problems with the genitourinary system of different ages. No seeds were found in any of the samples.
The liquid contains water, enzymes, minerals, in particular sodium, in the form of a gel. Thanks to sodium, the pre-seed has an alkaline reaction.
To perform analyzes and tests of Cooper's fluid, you should contact a specialist if abnormalities and pathologies are found.
Possible pathologies
Pre-ejaculate excretion in men in a state of sexual arousal is normal. Changes in this area of vital functions of the body should be a cause for concern.
The reason for visiting a specialist can be:
- the appearance in gray, green or yellow in the color of pre-planted,
- the appearance of blood
- change in density to cottage cheese,
- the smell of mold.
A sign of pathology may be the discharge of a colorless fluid without an erection, which is caused by streptococci, staphylococci or E. coli.
In the case of disorders of reproductive function in men, there are:
- feeling of pain in the lower abdomen,
- frequent urge to urinate and cramps at the same time,
- temperature rise,
- hyperemia of skin areas,
- purulent discharge from the urethra in the absence of sexual arousal.
If cheese spots appear in the pre-seeds, it may mean an inflammatory disease, candidiasis. You should consult a doctor.
There are cases when a specialist is asked about the distribution of a large amount of pre-semen at the slightest excitement. This gives the man discomfort, the separation may become noticeable to others. Such a failure is treatable and after examination the andrologist prescribes therapy.
