Allocation in men by arousal is a normal physiological phenomenon, due to the processes that occur in the organs of the reproductive system.
In medicine, the discharge of secretions from the urethra at the time of sexual stimulation is defined by the term libidinal urethra.
The amount of discharge may be different, as well as its nature. When an erection occurs, a clear medium-density fluid usually comes out of the urethra. Its amount and duration of excretion depends on the severity of sexual arousal.
Important: the secretion in men, when excited, contains active sperm (in small amounts) that, when penetrating the woman's vagina, can fertilize an egg.
Therefore, representatives of the stronger sex should be careful in the event that a partner's pregnancy is unplanned.
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 find out which phenomena are considered a deviation from the norm and what should not be cause for concern.
Pathological conditions
By evaluating the discharge from the urethra in men, the state of their genitourinary system can be judged.
The appearance of unusual discharge from the urethra often serves as a symptom of the development of pathological disorders. Furthermore, some diseases can be suspected solely on this basis, as other specific phenomena may be absent. In view of this, it is important to be aware of any change in the quality and quantity of secretions secreted.
Nonspecific discharge in men with arousal or at rest often indicates the development of such pathologies:
- Inflammatory processes in the genitourinary tract caused by opportunistic microorganisms or infectious agents.
- Diseases that are infected through the genital tract (STD).
- Oncological pathologies.
- Complications after surgery.
- The consequences of trauma to the organs of the genitourinary system.
The secretion secreted by the urethra can be scarce, appear in moderate or abundant quantities. In addition, it may contain impurities of blood or pus. 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 type of pathogen. There are also factors such as the severity of the inflammatory process, the state of the immune system, the presence of concomitant diseases.
A viscous transparent discharge in men, when they are excited or in a calm state, may 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. If chlamydia develops, the fluid collects and sticks to the head of the penis, sticking the foreskin.
Most often, unusual discharge is the result of other infectious pathologies. We are talking about infection by candidiasis, staphylococci or streptococci, Escherichia coli, etc. Men are concerned not only with a strange discharge, but also with other signs of damage - itching, hyperemia, swelling of the tissues of the external genital organs.
The reasons for the appearance of a pathological secret may be the following factors:
- non-gonorrheal urethritis;
- hematorrhea;
- prostatorrhea;
- balanoposthitis;
- spermatorrhea.
If men observe changes in the nature of discharge from the urethra, they should definitely seek the advice of a specialist, be examined and, if necessary, undergo appropriate treatment.
Normal states
To distinguish pathological from physiological discharge, you need to know what is considered the norm.
- Libido urethritis- that is, a secret formed under the influence of sexual stimulation.
- Sperm- the fluid that comes out of the urethra during ejaculation. This secretion is white, contains a high percentage of sperm and a secret of the gonads. Sperm is produced during orgasm at the end of intercourse, masturbation, or during emission.
- Smegma- a secret secreted by the glands located in the glans region of the penis. Smegma does not appear in men who regularly perform hygiene procedures and monitor the cleanliness of the penis.
Conclution
So, we find out what kind of discharge in men during arousal is a natural physiological phenomenon, and we also find out what should be alarming and becomes a reason to contact a specialist.
Representatives of the stronger sex are recommended to regularly undergo preventive examinations with a urologist and be attentive to their health.
