Discharge from the male genital organs can tell about the health of men, the presence of diseases of the genitourinary system. Often, discharge is the only or one of the symptoms of a serious illness, so you need to be careful about it, observing changes in color, odor, consistency, and so on.
Discharge from the male genital organs refers to all discharge from the urethra, sebaceous glands and skin, prostate duct and ejaculatory tract.
Depending on the nature of their occurrence, they are divided into physiological and pathological.
The latter appears as a result of the development of infectious, inflammatory or other diseases of the prostate, bladder or other organs of the genitourinary system.
Urethrorrhea
In most cases, the obvious discharge in men is libidinal or physiological urethralrhea. This is the secret of the transparent color secreted by the urethral glands. The secretion flows from the urethra, usually at the time of arousal. The purpose of secretion is to lubricate the duct before it passes through the sperm.
The amount of uretrorrhea excreted can be insignificant or considerable. It depends on the period of sexual abstinence, as well as the individual characteristics of the man. After prolonged abstinence from sexual intercourse, a small amount of sperm can be released along with the urethra, which will change color.
Keep in mind that if the amount of discharge becomes greater than usual, it is necessary to consult a doctor, as such a phenomenon can indicate the development of the disease.
Smegma
Smegma, also called preputial lubricant, is secreted by glands located in the foreskin. The secret purpose is to reduce friction between the glans penis and foreskin. Smegma always stands out. During puberty, maybe more, in old age - less.
Smegma is made up of fats and bacteria. It accumulates under the inner layer of the foreskin. If you follow daily hygiene procedures, the secret is easy to clean.
From this, it changes color from white-transparent to yellow or green. An unpleasant odor appears.
Sperm
Sperm refers to the physiological secretions from the male genital organs. Usually sperm is a mixture of gonadal secretions and sperm, which are secreted during sexual intercourse or masturbation.
Although men are also faced with unintentional sperm secretion, which is called wet dreams. Often it occurs in adolescent boys, during puberty, or with prolonged abstinence.
Unintentional ejaculation occurs at night or in the morning, as it is related to testosterone production.
Male excretion naturally also includes urine, which is clear, yellow or light brown in color, and prostate secretions. The specific smell of sperm will help differentiate prostatorrhea.
The discharge is thick and whitish.
Changes in the amount of discharge, its color and odor, as well as the appearance of turbidity or mucus may be the first symptoms of prostatitis or cancer.
Discharge during pleasure in men is secreted by the sex glands.
- Cooper's gland. They are located on the spongy body bulb of the male penis. These are paired organs with a spherical shape. It is impossible to feel (feel) these glands, unless they are inflamed and enlarged. Cooper’s gland has an excretory duct that enters the urethra. This is where they hide their secrets during sexual arousal. This is due to muscle contraction in the perineum.
- Literary glands. Small glands are located throughout the urethra. Available in men and women. Designed to moisturize the urethra and maintain an alkaline reaction in it. In some men, this gland is absent, which is not pathological, as it does not significantly affect sexual and reproductive function.
Different men excrete different fluid contents during arousal. It depends on several factors:
- sex gland activity;
- the age of the man;
- level of sexual arousal;
- duration of sexual arousal;
- the period of abstinence before planned sexual intercourse.
Some men do not experience discharge at all when aroused. In members of the stronger sex, up to 5 ml of pracum can be observed in the short period before sexual intercourse.
Erection is accompanied by pre-ejaculatory release of mucus, directly by the production of sperm, and also in the secretions there may be a small amount of secretions that are always produced by the gland next to the glans penis, smegma.
Physiological norms are determined by the nature and amount of discharge, its physical indications, as well as the absence of painful and unpleasant sensations in the urethra and in the head of the penis.
- Pre -ejaculation - colorless, transparent, almost odorless and has a moderate viscosity in consistency. Its release is not accompanied by pain, does not cause discomfort and does not interfere with sexual intercourse. The amount of jelly -like mucus directly depends on the level of stimulation, the more lubricant there is before the onset of intimacy, the stronger the erection and the brighter the sensation during orgasm.
- Sperm is a product produced by the sex glands and usually begins to be secreted at the peak of arousal with a full erection. Contains sperm, protein structure, biologically active substances. Usually, the color ranges from white to milky, the consistency is quite viscous, and has a specific odor. The amount depends a lot on the type of diet of the man, his level of sexual activity and the frequency of intercourse. Sperm are released during ejaculation from the urethra, and its progression facilitates the presence of lubrication. After ejaculation, the erection weakens and disappears under normal circumstances.
- Smegma is constantly secreted and accumulates in the folds that cover the glans penis, so a small amount of it is contained in all secretions - lubricants, urine and sperm of a man. It is a fat -like substance with a whitish color, its appearance is quite thick and dense. Smegma release is further increased when wearing tight underwear, sparse water procedures, with nutritional errors. It is a habitat and breeding ground for bacteria, so it must be disposed of regularly. Subject to personal hygiene, smegma is almost invisible, and does not cause discomfort to a man. When erect, it enters the lubricant and semen, changing its color and consistency.
Under normal circumstances, all discharge during an erection is physiological in nature, does not cause inconvenience and does not cause concern in men about appearance, color, odor and quantity. The problem arises when structures with atypical features begin to stand out.
A man can independently assess the degree of compatibility between discharge during concussion and the occurrence of an erection. The main evaluation criteria are the absence of unpleasant and sharp odors and impurities, transparent or whitish color, medium density.
With small deviations from the norm, it should also be noted that the nature of normal discharge depends on the frequency of sexual intercourse, with infrequent intercourse, the amount of secretion increases. The norm for the amount of fluid released depends on the level of arousal, and is also determined by individual characteristics.
The pungent smell of an erection does not always indicate a disease. Eating salty, smoky, spicy foods can cause changes. The presence of bad habits in a man reduces the amount of fluid released during an erection, and also worsens the biochemical and biological indicators.
Parents of adolescents should prepare future men for the fact that at this age, erections and ejaculation at night will begin, which will be accompanied by secretions. This is normal, should not cause anxiety or fear, and has nothing to do with the man's illicit actions.
The volume of fluid that should be released in the excited state of a man varies. The physiology of the body affects a lot. Everyone knows their size if they take care of themselves regularly. But if there is a change in the amount and nature of mucus, it is important to see a doctor. By knowing the reasons in a timely manner, you can really avoid problems. In most cases, such changes signal pathology, although there are exceptions.
If a man has not had sexual intercourse for a long time, the discharge during an erection increases significantly. In addition, they become thicker than usual. And it looks a little dim. In this case, it is important that there is no yellow color and blood elements. The secret norm of a man during arousal should conform to the following characteristics:
- transparent watery color;
- without unpleasant odors;
- medium density.
It is important to consider that such male discharge is influenced by lifestyle and physical illness. If a man stays away from intimate relationships with women for a long period of time, this will definitely affect his selection. Bad habits and eating habits are also risk factors. Persistent stress and emotional disturbances cause a weakened immune system and weakness in the body.
Sometimes discharge from the penis with strong stimulation causes bowel movements. From a physiological point of view, this is the norm. But the situation should not happen often.
A natural reaction to intimate hygiene non -compliance is the appearance of smegma. This special type of discharge occurs in the folds of skin near the head of the male penis. Usually smegma leads to inflammation or infection.
Why mucus is formed
Under normal circumstances, discharge in men when an erection occurs is associated with the formation and release of pre -ejaculation - a transparent viscous fluid in small amounts. This has nothing to do with premature ejaculation, and the purpose of the lubricant is to neutralize the acidic environment in the urethra and vagina.
The nature that sets the purpose of sexual intercourse is the process of fertilization, and certain conditions are required for the normal movement and maintenance of sperm cells. This is to create an optimal environment so that transparent secrets are provided. A small amount of sperm is contained in pre-ejaculation, which should be considered to prevent unplanned pregnancy.
Mucus secretion occurs during erection during foreplay with a partner, with spontaneous night and morning joy and masturbation. The second purpose of pre-ejaculation is to lubricate the mucous membrane of the urethra to facilitate the release and travel of sperm, so that the process of ejaculation is not accompanied by unpleasant and painful sensations.
Thus, the removal during erection of a small amount of sufficiently viscous and transparent mucus is completely normal, indicating proper function of the genitourinary system and a good level of potency.
Male lubricant function
- Creation of alkaline reactions in the urethra. Urine is acidic. Like genital fluid, it also passes through the urethra. But the acidic environment is detrimental to sperm. Therefore, before sexual intercourse, pre-ejaculation is secreted into the urethra, which has an alkaline reaction.
- Creation of an alkaline environment in the vagina. Discharge in men, observed during arousal, during sexual intercourse, enters the genital tract of a woman. There, male lubrication provides the best conditions for subsequent sperm travel.
- Facilitates the entry of the penis into the vagina. The male release works similarly to the female lubricant. It allows you to avoid trauma to the mucous membranes of the genital tract during coitus.
Pathological discharge
A man should be concerned with the appearance of improper types of discharge:
- discoloration, the formation of green, yellow, dirty gray color may indicate the presence of pathogenic bacterial flora;
- bumps, scars, the appearance of blisters in the form of white flakes indicate the possibility of venereal disease;
- blood in the urine or semen is a bad sign and may indicate an injury or the development of cancer;
- pus impurities accurately indicate the inflammatory process in the genitourinary system;
- pain, burning, discomfort, unpleasant odor and itching are detected with wounds and skin infections, and with non -adherence to basic personal hygiene;
- increased discomfort during urination is often associated with the development of extensive inflammatory processes.
It is risky to find the cause of the change in the composition of the discharge from your own penis. A man needs to see a doctor as soon as possible to make a thorough diagnosis and eliminate the cause of his problem. It is forbidden to use drugs, especially from the group of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs, to relieve symptoms.
What if there is too much emissions?
First of all, you should make sure that this is exactly pre-ejaculation. The liquid must be:
- fully transparent;
- not smelly;
- without impurities of pus and blood.
If the discharge appears recently, or their number has increased dramatically recently, this may indicate an inflammatory process in the genitals. Do not wait for the appearance of other symptoms - many genital infections have a subclinical course, with no significant subjective signs. You should see a doctor and take a swab from the urethra for sexually transmitted infections.
There are also herbal preparations that show similar activity to the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. The most commonly used dwarf date tree extract. There are many medications in pharmacies that contain this component.
Can you get an infection?
There is an opinion that it is possible to contract a sexually transmitted infection from a man only if sexual intercourse ends with ejaculation on the woman’s vagina. Indeed, some pathogens are present in the highest concentrations in semen (e. g. , HIV). However, most microorganisms live in a man’s urethra, and are therefore able to penetrate a woman’s vagina, even if sexual intercourse does not end with ejaculation.
The discharge in men, when aroused, also contains cells of infectious agents. First, because they pass through the bacterial urethra. Second, the gland itself may be involved in the inflammatory process. The Littre gland is almost always affected by gonorrhea. Cooper's glands are also often targeted by pathogenic microorganisms.
In conclusion
The presence of normal discharge during the onset of an erection in men is a kind of indicator of health. It is important to understand the limits of the norm, and in the event of a worrying deviation, seek timely medical help. You cannot cure yourself.
Is it possible to get pregnant?
You cannot get pregnant because of male lubrication. It does not contain sperm. Even if there is a single sperm cell in it, this will not cause pregnancy. To conceive a child, the biological fluid secreted by a man in the vagina must contain at least 40 million sperm.
The exception is when a man has recently had intercourse. Then some of the sperm may remain in his genital tract. She is able to enter the vagina along with pre-ejaculation, which pushes the sperm during subsequent intercourse.
It is also dangerous for a man to interrupt orgasm if he practically does not experience a pleasant sensation during ejaculation. In this case, pre-ejaculation can be confused with ejaculation, resulting in an unwanted pregnancy. However, the discharge itself in men, observed during his sexual stimulation before ejaculation, is harmless from this point of view.
