When the penis is aroused, a small amount of fluid is released from the urethra. This is a normal phenomenon that is common to almost all healthy men. With the development of diseases, the consistency and volume of the lubricant change. There is an unpleasant odor, pain or burning sensation when urinating or getting an erection. Such a clinical picture requires special attention from a person, as there is a threat to health.
Excretion during arousal in men is called preejaculate. It protrudes from the opening of the urethra at the moment when the person is excited. The vagina is secreted by the bulbouetral glands and Littre's glands, which are located throughout the canal, from the outer opening to the neck of the bladder.
Distributions during arousal in men perform the following functions:
- ensure free passage of semen through the urethra;
- destroys bacteria;
- moisturize and suppress the acidic environment in the urethra.
The vapor is also able to act as a lubricant during intercourse, but in most cases the amount released will not be enough. The preejaculate is one of the components of sperm. It enters the semen during ejaculation, mixes with the semen, which allows you to protect sperm from the acidic environment of a woman's vagina.
The volume of the preejacula directly depends on the degree of arousal of the person. Maximum concentration is achieved with strong sexual desire. The normal amount of liquid is 5 ml.
Some members of the stronger sex cannot physiologically release a lubricant. The absence of a previous pregnancy during an erection reduces the ability to conceive.
Healthy preejaculate has the following characteristics:
- lack of odor;
- transparency;
- viscosity;
- no lumps or inclusions;
- does not cause discomfort or pain.
Pre-seed performs cleaning functions, so its consistency may change. The man may experience clouding of the lubricant during repeated sexual intercourse, lack of hygiene or before ejaculation. It will return to normal in 1-2 days. Otherwise, the development of a pathogenic process should be suspected.
Pathological mucus secretions in men differ from healthy ones in color, odor and texture. They are almost always accompanied by discomfort.
Symptoms showing deviation of the lubricant from the norm:
- the appearance of fluid from the urethra during the day;
- the appearance of an unpleasant odor;
- pain when urinating;
- the formation of excessive amounts of mucus;
- arbitrary release of lubricant without sexual arousal;
- the presence of third party inclusions;
- change in consistency to too thick or liquid.
These signs are characteristic of pathological processes indicating the development of diseases.
Unhealthy secretions in men are divided into types:
> zxtable border = "1" cellpadding = "0" >The amount of mucus secreted can be both abundant and small. It can be quite difficult to notice poor lubrication. To do this, you need to press the urethra so that the fluid comes out of the hole. It dries quickly, forming a film on the membrane of the glans penis. The viscous consistency leads to sticking of the urethral fungi.
The appearance of sexual desire in women is accompanied by the release of lubricant and swelling of the mammary glands. However, not everyone knows what is released during arousal among the stronger sex. Men are able to produce not only semen during sex, but also a special lubricant that facilitates the sliding of the penis during rubbing. This substance, when aroused in men, is called preejaculate.
Description
During arousal, men produce colorless, clear mucus called preejaculate. It is formed together with an erection, but it can appear after it. If there is no lubrication in men when they are aroused, it is a symptom of some kind of pathology related to the reproductive system. The release of this fluid prevents injury to the male genitalia during vaginal penetration.
In medicine, lubrication in men during arousal is called temporary. This substance is formed not only before sexual intercourse, but also during mild sexual arousal, during caressing, and also during masturbation. The appearance of lubrication in men during arousal indicates a desire to enter into intimacy with their partner.
Composition of pre-seeds
Predejaculate is a mucous secretion that contains various enzymes and alkalis. Since the environment of the female vagina is acidic and rejects the male semen, the lubricant neutralizes the aggressiveness of such female microflora.
There is a myth that a woman can get pregnant by secreting from a man's penis. The fact is that the lubricant does not contain sperm, but it can exist if there was sexual intercourse without contraception, within a few hours after masturbation or after previous sexual intercourse.
To avoid unwanted pregnancies, experts recommend the use of condoms or other contraceptives.
Basic functions
The lubricant is released in men during arousal, it is not only a transparent lubricant, but also a protective reaction of the mucous membrane. Such secretions facilitate the penetration of the male genitalia into the female vagina and rubbing, if the fair sex has released a small amount of such a substance.
Lubrication in men during arousal has several very important functions, which are as follows:
- Neutralization of the increased acidity of the vaginal microflora.
- Facilitates the penetration of the penis, supports the movement of sperm through the cervix.
- Increase the chance of conceiving.
- Removal of the contents of the urinary tract.
In an acidic environment, sperm die quite quickly. Thanks to the alkaline premen, they enter the genital tract intact and can fertilize the egg. That is why the male lubricant has the ability to protect the viability of sperm.
In addition, thanks to these male secretions from the urethra, the chance of conception increases, as semen penetrates the uterus much faster during sliding. The natural lubricant helps to avoid the use of artificial substitutes and also facilitates the penetration of the penis into the vagina if the woman has a small amount of her own secretions.
What does the normal look like?
So, the question of whether a man lubricates himself during arousal is resolved. But what does she look like? Externally, this liquid looks like ordinary clear mucus. During sexual intercourse it is released in an amount of 1 to 5 ml. This volume is enough to make sexual intercourse comfortable for partners. As part of this seed there is smegma, which is a fatty substance that accumulates in the folds of the foreskin. If the man is faithful to only one sexual partner or uses a condom during intercourse, then there are no changes in color and additional inclusions in the composition of the fluid. Only a whitish light shade is possible.
When to see a doctor?
Many women still do not know if men have lubrication when they are aroused. Some people just didn't pay attention to him. However, the fact is that this fluid is extremely important during sexual intercourse.
If any suspicious symptoms occur, the man should consult a doctor immediately. This will make it possible to identify the disease at an early stage of its development and therefore rapid recovery will follow. That is why it is so important to pay attention to the composition and shade of your presidency. Additional symptoms that help identify the diagnosis are as follows:
- Fever, fever, fever.
- Feeling of pain or discomfort in the area of organs located in the small pelvis.
- Redness of the skin, swelling and rash.
- Bloody purulent impurities in male secretions.
- Burning and itching in the urethra.
- Hyperemia in the penis.
- Erectile dysfunction, urinary retention.
Similar pathological processes in the male body during arousal and at rest are observed in sexually transmitted infections. If several or even one symptom is detected, you should consult a doctor immediately. The man will probably need urgent antibiotic therapy.
Without preejaculate
If a man has a lot of lubrication when he is aroused, this can be called a characteristic of his body. However, in some cases, members of the stronger sex do not notice the release of fluid during intercourse, as it begins to be released only after the penetration of the penis into the vagina.
In 5% of cases, the lack of lubrication is a symptom of an inflammatory disease. In such a situation it is best to consult a specialist for such a problem. It should also be noted that in the elderly, urethral discharge may be completely absent.
Change in texture and color
It has been said above that if a lot of lubricant is released during arousal in men, this is the norm, but if there is too much, then it should warn. However, the change in color and texture is considered a reason to visit a doctor. Usually the color of the semen is transparent, slightly whitish. You should also pay attention to the density of these secretions. Semen should not be thick, flow freely from the urethra during sexual arousal. The reasons to consult a specialist are the following:
- The formation of a fishy odor in which the smell of mold is present.
- Impurities of pus and blood.
- Change in the structure of semen, formation of cross-section, thickening.
- Changing the shade.
Red, gray, orange, green and other shades are a sign of an infectious or inflammatory process in the body. In this way, the male body responds to any viral or bacterial invasion. In some cases, colored secretions are a sign of a natural healing process. For example, after prostate surgery, after antibiotic therapy or other surgical interventions.
Transparent viscous secretion in some cases indicates infection with infectious diseases, such as streptococci, staphylococci, as well as Escherichia coli. However, the appearance of bacteria will be observed not only in the seminal fluid, but also in other secretions from the male organ.
Opinion of doctors
The gray-green hue of the fluid indicates the presence of infection in the male body. However, this symptom is not always a sign of sexually transmitted diseases, as ARVI or influenza can occur. At the same time, the man's body temperature rises.
White dense current indicates the development of fungal disease, most often with candidiasis. This disease is transmitted to a man by an infected sexual partner. During the detection of this pathogen, it is necessary to treat both women and men.
If the fluid is red, it indicates the development of a urological disease, such as cystitis, urethritis, but can also be a symptom of chronic prostatitis and a number of other diseases not related to the urinary system.
Conclusion
It is not necessary in these cases to self-medicate and let the disease go away. Sexually transmitted diseases provoke the formation of many pathologies, and can also cause rectal dysfunction, urination problems and a weakened immune system.
The appearance of secretions separated from the human body informs both the norm and the deviations. For example, in colds or otitis media, the appearance of fluid clearly indicates the disease. The human reproductive system is much more complex. Distributions in men, when excited, may report normal health or, conversely, signal the development of disease.
Should men have secretions during sexual arousal?
In men, the appearance of mucus in the urethra in some cases is a natural and necessary process. When an erection occurs, a clear secretion the size of a few drops appears. They are called premenstrual fluid, such physiological phenomena are completely normal.
The volume of mucus secretion depends entirely on the characteristics of the male body and must meet certain characteristics in order to be considered normal. In particular, there should be no excessive density, color, specific odors.
The appearance of secretion occurs in the following cases leading to an erection:
- masturbation;
- Sexual caresses of a partner;
- Thoughts of intimacy.
The frequency of this phenomenon also depends on the characteristics of the reproductive system. Some men experience discharge with each arousal, others are extremely rare.
From the point of view of medical professionals, the presence of exudate during sexual arousal promotes conception - it acts as an additional conduit for sperm in the process of reaching the egg and reduces the acidity of the female vagina, which destroys sperm. Accordingly, the secretions from the genital organ are actively involved in the process of fertilization and are considered an important mechanism of the male reproductive system.
Why is this happening?
Doctors have not fully determined the cause of the leak from the penis, but it has been shown that the release of lubricant in men during arousal helps to facilitate the exit of the head of the reproductive organ from the folds without injury or damage. It is necessary to carefully observe intimate hygiene, the secreted fluid is an excellent environment for the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria.
It is important to note that prolonged abstinence provokes much more abundant release, and the composition of the secretion becomes denser and cloudy. It is necessary to ensure that there is no change in color, streaks of blood and odor. Some doctors believe that the appearance of fluid occurs because the body is preparing for intimacy with a woman.
Pathological discharge can occur for various reasons:
- Improper nutrition, in particular the use of pickles, spicy, pickles;
- Inflammatory processes provoked by pathogenic bacteria;
- sexually transmitted diseases;
- Concomitant complications after surgery or injuries;
- Oncological pathologies.
Varieties of secrets
Several types of discharge are normal, provided they are not accompanied by additional symptoms.
However, if a specific odor, itching, fever, soreness in the groin or penis become a contributing factor, this is already a cause for concern and contact a urologist.
Types of disposal related to the norm
Absolutely normal and natural are 3 types of produced and flowing secrets.
- Libidinous urethrosis. A secret that has the function of lubrication. It looks like a liquid with a transparent consistency, no odor. It appears in small volumes, does not cause inconvenience. Contains a small amount of sperm, but unprotected sex can lead to pregnancy of the partner;
- Spegma. Whitish secretion, sometimes has a yellowish tinge, often smells unpleasant. Fluid secretion is provided by glands located below the foreskin. Her appearance does not show pathology, but shows that the man disregards the rules of personal hygiene;
- semen. White liquid with a mucous consistency. Ejection occurs from the urethra during orgasm. Contains a high percentage of sperm and secretions.
Secrets containing mucus
They often show the appearance of sexually transmitted diseases. In cases where the secretion has increased viscosity but remains transparent, the following diseases are likely to occur:
Also, diseases are confirmed by the presence of high levels of leukocytes in blood tests.
Milky-bright mucous membranes with purulent streaks accompany diseases such as:
In the presence of these pathologies, the fluid can be released in a relaxed state, then adheres to the head of the penis and dries.
Purulent flow
Proof of gonorrhea. The resulting liquid is yellow with a greenish tinge and an unpleasant odor. The texture is thick and sticky. When secretly analyzed, a significant level of leukocytes is detected.
Release during inflammation
Inflammatory diseases that change the composition of the secretion are caused by:
- staphylococci;
- inches;
- Candida fungus;
- streptococcus.
When non-gonococcal urethritis - inflammation of the urethral canal, the secreted fluid is characterized by:
- Turbidity and stickiness;
- The presence of mucus;
- Purulent contents.
Accompanied by soreness, discomfort, itching.
The disease of the foreskin, balanoposthitis, is characterized by an abundant course containing a lot of purulent contents. There is redness, swelling, severe pain.
Prostatitis is characterized by mucus secretion mixed with pus. Additional symptoms - pain, decreased erectile function, frequent urge to empty the bladder.
To determine candidiasis, it is enough to study the photo, which shows the secret characteristic of it. There is a consistency of cottage cheese, this form of mycosis is accompanied by redness of the glans penis, unbearable itching.
Disposal with blood
The secret containing the blood requires the most careful attention. Similar signs indicate:
- Infectious diseases, in particular chronic infectious urethritis;
- Injury of the urethral canal during medical procedures;
- Removal of sand and stones from the kidneys, to a greater extent observed blood during urination;
- Malignant tumors of the prostate, ovaries, genitals. In this case, the secretion contains brown or dark blood, often in the form of clots.
Norm or deviation?
An unequivocal sign of pathology is the presence of mucus, pus, discoloration, the smell of fish or sour, the appearance of stickiness or turbidity.
- Medium density;
- Transparency;
- Lack of odor.
In addition to diseases, the quality of secrecy is affected by:
In case of insignificant changes in color and consistency, it is important to analyze:
- Own sex life, the presence or absence of casual and unprotected relationships;
- Factors contributing to the reduction of the body's protective functions;
- Possible changes in the usual menu;
- Presence of concomitant diseases.
Do I have to go to the doctor?
An immediate visit to the doctor requires a secret that is uncharacteristic of a man. Any changes in the structure and color of the fluid require examination to identify the factors leading to such disorders.
Diagnostic measures include:
- spermogram;
- Smear from the urethral canal;
- Ultrasound examination of the genitourinary system;
- Urine sampling for general analysis;
- Clinical blood test.
Based on the diagnostic results, a treatment regimen is prescribed for the underlying disease that caused the appearance of the pathological exudate. Ignoring such signs leads to a deterioration in well-being and the transition of the disease into a chronic form that is difficult to treat. A timely visit to a urologist will allow you to quickly deal with the disease and maintain your health for a long time.
