In men, during stimulation, discharge from the urethra can be observed. They usually do not cause alarm, as they are of natural origin. But there are cases where the discharge is of a pathological nature and requires medical intervention.
Natural secretion of pre-semen
In a healthy man, during an erection, a clear liquid is always secreted from the penis in a small volume. This phenomenon is considered standard and is not associated with any pathological process. In medicine, such a natural discharge upon stimulation is called the urethra, and the fluid itself is called anterior ejaculation.
General features
Usually, such a secret is absolutely transparent and has a medium consistency in density. Urethrhea is observed not only during arousal but also during morning erection. From the urethra to the outside, pre-ejaculatory fluid begins to be secreted during stroking with a partner and during preparation for intercourse. Similar reactions were observed with masturbation. The early stages of intercourse and just before the onset of orgasm can also be accompanied by ejaculation. All these circumstances are natural, and therefore the secretion of precursors should not cause panic.
Such mucus is needed to neutralize residual acids, both in the urethra and vagina itself. Since sperm simply die in an acidic environment, it is preparatory to favorable conditions for them.
Amount of secretions
For each man, the amount of fluid secreted in such cases is completely individual. But the higher the level of stimulation, the greater the secretion. It can be a few drops, and the liquid volume is quite impressive, reaching 5 ml. In some men, there is no such Preum. The site of anterior granulation is the Cooper and Littre glands. They are located along the urethra and secrete bile, the amount of which increases with stimulation.
In such a secret, sperm may be present in insignificant quantities. Therefore, interrupted intercourse does not always guarantee the avoidance of unwanted pregnancy. Of course, there is no sperm in the secretion itself, but the rest of the semen in the canals inevitably ends up during pre-ejaculation.
Sometimes men worry about releasing too much fluid before getting an erection. In this case, doctors recommend differential diagnosis to exclude prostatic hyperplasia - discharge of the prostate gland during urination or defecation.
Natural sperm production
The second type of natural fluid secreted from the penis during an erection is semen, of course. Ejaculation is the natural result of ejaculation. Semen is white and viscous. Sperm include secretions of the gonads and semen itself. Semen is released, both by intercourse and by masturbation. Such discharge is accompanied by sexual discharge.
The absence of ejaculation can be a sign of serious medical problems and should be taken seriously.
What to say about pathology?
Usually, the presence of discharge during an erection is not associated with pathology. But in some cases, you should pay attention to deviations from the standard, as evidenced by:
- unnatural discharge color - yellow, green, gray will indicate pathology;
- the presence of blood in semen or urine;
- pus, lumps, or lumps in your discharge
- unpleasant odor or nausea emanating from the penis, which may indicate inflammatory processes;
- pain or discomfort that occurs during an erection.
It is the unnatural signs that accompany electrical discharges during euphoria that clearly indicate the presence of pathological processes. Itching, flushing, or swelling is also a warning sign. In such cases, a man should not self-medicate or wait for the situation to resolve on its own. The right decision would be to see a doctor for a diagnosis.
Types of diseases that can occur
It is not easy to assess the condition of the genitourinary system using only one flush. But it is the uncharacteristic discharge from the urethra that is a sign of some pathology. And for certain diseases, it is the presence of specific secretions without the presence of other symptoms that are characteristic.
A man should carefully monitor the quality and amount of fluid from the penis, both when aroused and in normal condition.
With the appearance of nonspecific discharge during euphoria, one can suspect the presence of:
- inflammatory processes occurring in the genitourinary system, which are associated with the activation of opportunistic and infectious agents;
- sexually transmitted diseases;
- pathology of a cancerous nature;
- complications caused by surgical intervention;
- consequences of injury and damage.
In such cases, the nature of the discharge can be different, it depends on the type of pathology and on the characteristics of the organism, the neglect of the disease. It is impractical to determine independently the type of bias. It is necessary to make a deep diagnosis, to help the doctor assess the patient's condition and select an effective treatment.
Do not take any medicine, especially antibiotics, before seeing a doctor and making a diagnosis. This will blur the clinical picture and make it impossible to make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe an appropriate treatment.
Cleaning and rinsing
We should also focus on smegma. This is a natural selection. However, in some cases, it can be accompanied by an unnatural odor. This lubricant is produced by fat glands located in the glans and foreskin.
In fact, smegma is a fat that, without timely and high-quality cleaning procedures, will build up and cause an unnatural odor. The danger is not caused by the smegma itself, but by its accumulation. In the absence of hygienic procedures, a favorable environment is created for the reproduction of bacteria and the development of inflammatory processes.
The problem of such an abundant synthesis of lubricants is particularly urgent for men aged 16–25 years, when sexual activity is at its peak. With age, the volume of such secretions gradually decreases. When a man washes his penis twice a day, the stain is completely removed and no unusual white plaque is observed during erection. If needed, you can use antibacterial soap to remove the stain.
Usually, a man's accumulation of white plaque with a pungent odor is due to smegma secretion, while the real cause may be related to thrush or gonorrhea, chdamidiosis.
It is quite dangerous to ignore any discharge other than normal. As they can be associated with diseases that require immediate treatment and pose a threat to the reproductive system of an irreversible nature.
