For the continuation of the human race, the ability of a man to transfer his seed to a woman plays a major role. Therefore, it is very important for him to take care of his health and male strength. Indicators of the condition of the genital organs are discharge from the penis.
They, like alarm bells, indicate normal internal processes or pathology. Special mention should be made of the discharge in men during arousal. At this point, a small amount of fluid comes out of the penis.
Its density, volume, shade and presence of smell indicate the condition of the male reproductive organs.
Every person should know where the boundaries of the norm end and pathological manifestations begin in order to take timely measures to eliminate health problems.
The emergence of a natural secret
For successful reproduction, it is important that a special liquid is released from the canals of the male organ during arousal. It is she who encourages the advancement of spermatozoa to the female cell for fertilization.
When spermatozoa enter the vagina, there are many obstacles on their way. First of all, it is an acidic environment in which most male cells die. Only the secret formed during erection helps to reduce acidity.
Thus, male cells have a chance to survive and achieve the main goal.

Usually, a man's secret is absolutely transparent in color, without an unpleasant smell and in a small amount. A consistency of medium density is considered normal.
The appearance of the secret occurs not only during sexual excitement, but also in the morning, when the organ is in a state of erection. In addition, liquid discharge occurs with the gentle caress of a beloved woman. This is how the body prepares for intimacy.
Depending on the degree of excitation, the mucus is of different volume. With a strong sexual desire, more discharge occurs. In addition, the individuality of the male body should be taken into account. The volume of liquid that is released can reach up to 5 mg.
In some cases - a few drops or none at all. A small amount of sperm is released along with the fluid. This is important to consider for those planning to become pregnant. Stopping the sexual process is not always a guarantee of success.
Along with discharge when he is excited, a man can have sperm, which sometimes reach their goal.
Useful tips
If a young man is concerned about heavy discharge during sexual desire, consult a doctor immediately. A thorough examination will help identify pathologies at an early stage of development.
The natural secret that comes out of the penis during sexual activity is, of course, semen. It consists of spermatozoa and the natural mucus of the male organ. It is whitish in color and has a thick character. It comes out of the penis as a result of sexual intercourse.
Discharge rate within normal limits
The amount of fluid that should be released when a man is aroused varies. Body physiology has a lot to do with it. Everyone knows their limit 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 timely detection of the cause, it is really possible to 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 erection increases significantly. In addition, they become thicker than usual. And in appearance - a little cloudier. It is important that there is no yellow shade and no blood elements. The rate of male secretion during arousal should correspond to the following characteristics:
- transparent water color;
- without a clearly pronounced unpleasant smell;
- average density.
It is important to take into account that such male discharge is affected by lifestyle and physical diseases. If a gentleman refrains from intimacy with a woman for a long time, it will certainly affect the discharge. Bad habits and eating habits are also risk factors. Constant stress and emotional breakdowns lead to weakened immunity and weakness of the body.
Sometimes discharge from the penis with strong excitement leads to defecation. From a physiological point of view, this is the norm. But the situation should not be a frequent occurrence.
Important to know:
The secret that comes out of the penis consists of spermatozoa. If they are of poor quality or the man suffers from prostate inflammation, the secreted fluid changes color. At the same time, its smell and consistency should correspond to the norm.
A natural reaction to non-compliance with intimate hygiene is the appearance of smegma. This particular type of discharge occurs in folds of skin near the head of the male penis. Usually smegma leads to inflammatory processes or infections.
In adolescence, during puberty, boys have night shows. As a result of erotic dreams, there is a strong excitement. This leads to an erection, after which there is an arbitrary ejaculation. Pollution for the stronger sex is a physiological norm.
Secret change as a sign of illness
Unfortunately, men are not immune to sexually transmitted diseases. And since the body is created amazingly, it is possible to determine the development of the infection by the secret secret. Some diseases are detected only on this basis. Therefore, men should carefully observe the changing nature of their sexual secret.
Abnormal discharge during erection often indicates such changes:
- inflammation of the urinary tract, which is caused by the multiplication of pathological microorganisms;
- infections transmitted through intimate relationships;
- malignant formations;
- postoperative problems;
- urinary tract injuries.
Depending on the degree of the disease, the discharge from the penis is large or scanty. In addition, pus or blood elements enter the clear liquid from the hole on the head of the penis. In this case, there is a change in color and density.
Viscous colorless secretion that occurs in young people during sexual excitement often signals the presence of a pathological infection. With serious complications, pus appears in it, which collects on the head of the penis and sticks to the foreskin.
Various infectious infections are manifested not only in the change of the male secret. They are accompanied by an itchy sensation of the penis and its swelling. The causes of changes are such pathologies:
- Prostorrhea;
- balanoposthitis;
- hematuria;
- non-gonococcal urethritis.
If a man notices obvious fluid changes that occur during arousal, he should immediately consult a doctor. It is important to identify the disease at an early stage of development in order to avoid complications.
A clear signal of danger is changes in the excretion of venereal diseases. If the discharge becomes mucus-like, it contains a lot of leukocytes. The appearance of pus indicates the development of trichomoniasis or ureaplasmosis. Thick and sticky greenish discharge, which smells unpleasant, indicates gonorrhea.
In order to respond in time to the appearance of an infection, men are advised to monitor their secretions regularly. This also applies to the calm state of the penis, as well as to sexual excitement. Regular visits to the urologist for a preventive examination serve as a reliable protection of his male power.
Clear discharge from the penis - is it dangerous?
Lovers of young heroes and experienced men - everyone at least once encounters such a phenomenon as transparent discharge from the penis.
It is believed that various secretions from the genital organs are the prerogative of the female reproductive system, but this is not so.
In men, there are also organs and tissues that produce a liquid secretion, which under certain conditions can be excessive - hence the appearance of small drops in the external opening of the urethra.
Clear discharge from the penis is most often observed in men. They are not always a manifestation of pathological processes, but they always cause men to worry about their health. The reasons for withdrawing can be different. Below we will consider the most common of them.
Norm or pathology?
The male reproductive system differs from the female in that almost all its elements are located outside. This allows you to spot any changes in the early stages - almost immediately after they appear. Clear discharge in men is divided into two categories:
- physiological - formed during normal processes in the male reproductive system under the influence of beneficial microflora;
- pathological - occurs as a result of colonization of the genitourinary system by pathogenic microflora.
The discharge may indicate an illness, which can be confirmed by a specialist
In the first case, the transparent discharge from the penis does not pose any danger. And in the second, there is a danger of losing not only part of the sexual power, but also the functions of other organs and systems.
Diseases of the reproductive system in men of infectious origin are vainly considered innocent "herbs" that can be treated on a case-by-case basis. Many STIs have a direct negative impact on the central nervous system and the musculoskeletal system.
Immediately after discovering suspicious symptoms, it is important for a man to try to determine for himself whether the transparent discharge from the penis is dangerous in his case. It is quite difficult to do without special education, but there are a number of signs by which dangerous diseases can be recognized.
When it comes to physiology
There are several phenomena that are absolutely safe for the health of the male reproductive system, during which a transparent discharge can flow from the penis. This includes:
- Physiological urethrhoea is a process in which there is an explosion of secretion synthesis in the male urethra. This phenomenon usually occurs in the morning when the bladder is full. The discharge includes secretions from the urethra and urine.
- Libidinous urethrhoea is a process that occurs against the background of morning erection. In addition to urethral secretions, the composition of secretions may include prostate secretions and spermatozoa.
- Defecation space is a process that occurs against the background of increased stress during defecation. During this, the excrement actively presses on the prostate, from which the secret is secreted. It is he who forms the basis of transparent discharge from the penis.
The male reproductive system is designed so that during its normal functioning, a clear discharge may occur.
It is very easy to understand that there are no health problems in this case. When discharge occurs, a man either wants to use the toilet, has just left it, or is experiencing a morning erection.
When the cause of discharge is disease
The situation is somewhat different with pathological secretions. They occur in diseases such as gonorrhea and trichomoniasis, urepalasmosis and mycoplasmosis. Unlike the previously described physiological secretions, they appear at any time of the day - they have nothing to do with physiological processes. In addition, such discharges are accompanied by a specific set of symptoms, including:
If discharge from the penis is a symptom of a disease, you cannot do without the help of a doctor.
Similar signs are characteristic of urethritis, the cause of which is a specific or non-specific genital infection. Also, discomfort of this type can occur after an examination by a urologist or venereologist. If the man has not been examined by a doctor, and the transparent discharge from the penis is combined with the described clinical picture, it is most likely genital infections.
What to do with the appearance of pathological discharge
If a man has an unfavorable transparent discharge from the penis with a specific smell, treatment should be started immediately. Men often try to avoid visits to the doctor. It is not recommended to do this - attempts to solve the problem yourself can lead to the transition of a sexually transmitted disease into a chronic form.
It is only possible to completely eliminate problems with the reproductive system with the help of specialists.
First of all, it is necessary to make an appointment with a urologist or dermatovenerologist. Already during the external examination, he can make a preliminary diagnosis and give recommendations for the treatment of the disease. In addition, referrals will be issued for the following types of analyses:

After clarifying the diagnosis, a complex treatment will be prescribed - the discharge from the penis will gradually be eliminated. During the therapy, the man is advised to respect personal hygiene, as well as sexual abstinence. Almost always, the doctor recommends that the patient's sexual partners undergo examination and subsequent treatment.
Antibiotics are the mainstay in the treatment of clear discharge from the penis. Their choice depends on the name of the identified microorganisms and their sensitivity to drugs. In addition, doctors may recommend that men change their diet.
What kind of transparent mucus is secreted in men at the moment of excitement?
The process of arousal in a man is connected with the transition of the penis to the state of erection, which is the key to successful sexual intercourse. Discharge from the penis during erection is considered a physiological norm and is necessary to create a favorable environment for the release of spermatozoa.
In some cases, changes in the nature of mucus and the appearance of atypical signs indicate disorders in the genitourinary system and may be related to diseases.
At the peak of arousal, a small amount of fluid is released from the urethra. Pre-ejaculate comes out of the urethra of almost all healthy men, this is normal. You need to panic if its quantity, color or consistency has changed. Let's figure out what stands out in men when they are excited.
Why do men lubricate?
Many people know that a woman literally flows with excitement. It secretes a natural lubricant that helps prevent cracks in the vaginal lining during intercourse. In men, nature has foreseen a similar mechanism - at the moment of complete arousal, a few drops of lubricant appear from the urethra.
It performs several functions:
- suppresses the acidic environment in the urethra;
- moistens her ducts, preparing for the passage of sperm;
- prepares the urethra for the free flow of seminal fluid;
- destroys bacteria.
Pre-seminal fluid is released in a small amount, it is not enough to lubricate the penis for better sliding into the vagina. Therefore, in the absence of a sufficient amount of discharge from the woman, use lubricants.
A pre-ejaculator increases a man's ability to conceive. It is a sperm component that increases the resistance of sperm to the acidic environment of the vagina. If the Littre and bulbourethral glands do not secrete enough of this fluid, then the male's chances of conception are reduced.
What are normal discharges?
The amount of lubricant released directly depends on the degree of arousal of the man. If the sexual desire is strong, then its maximum amount comes out of the urethra. There is usually very little liquid - about 5 ml.
It is necessary to understand what healthy pre-seminal fluid looks like, what it is:
- transparent;
- odorless;
- without lumps and other inclusions;
- viscous;
- discharged without pain or discomfort.
The consistency of the lubricant may change. With repeated sexual intercourse, before ejaculation or insufficient hygiene, it becomes cloudy and more viscous. After 1-2 days, the appearance of fluid in a healthy man returns to normal.
When is discharge considered abnormal?
If you notice that the lubricant from the penis has changed its consistency or smell, the reason for this may be the activity of pathogenic bacteria. This process is usually accompanied by symptoms:
- discharge from the urethra appears during the day, regardless of excitement;
- pain when urinating;
- unpleasant smell from bedding or the liquid itself;
- production of mucus in large quantities;
- yellowish or greenish pre-ejaculate;
- inclusions of third parties in the lubricant - clots, blood or others;
- change in consistency to thicker or liquid.
If you notice such changes, consult a urologist immediately, as this may be a sign of a developing infection.
Classification of pathological secretions
According to the composition, the selections are divided into several types:
- Mucopurulent: consist of secretions from the glands of the reproductive system, a small number of leukocytes and serous fluid. This type of fluid most often occurs at night, yellow spots appear on underwear, and pus is released before morning urination. The reason for the changes is the activity of bacteria: ureamycoplasma, chlamydia, trichomonas.
- Purulent: consist of urethral epithelial cells, leukocytes and serous fluid. They have a strong smell and a thick consistency, they come out in drops that remain on the underwear. Such discharge from the penis is characteristic of gonococcal urethritis, which appeared against the background of gonorrhea and chlamydia.
- Haematorrhea: drops of blood appear in the lubricant. They indicate an injury to the urethral mucosa. It often occurs after visiting a urologist and taking a swab for analysis or after installing a catheter to drain urine.
- Spermatorrhaea: a man randomly ejects seminal fluid. The process occurs against the background of reduced muscle tone of the vas deferens. The condition occurs in a chronic inflammatory process.
- Leukocytic urethrotorrhea: leukocytes are present in the lubricant. They appear at the moment when the inflammatory process takes place in the exudative phase. The causes of the condition are called damage to the urethral mucosa of one of the following types: thermal, mechanical, chemical or viral.
Scanty discharge is difficult to notice. They appear if you gently press the urethra. Such lubricant in men dries quickly, creating a film on the head and blinding the lips of the urethra.
The main causes of pathology
The first thing a man checks for pathological discharge is sexually transmitted diseases. It is more likely to lead to urinary tract infections. A venereologist or urologist can make a precise diagnosis after an examination, receiving the results of pathological fluid samples and several tests.
Venereal disease
Sexually transmitted diseases develop against the background of unfavorable microflora. It settles on the walls of the urethra, enters the glands and organs of the genitourinary system. Reproduction of pathogens leads to their spread throughout the body, the appearance of symptoms.
Diseases can be caused by:
| A type of microorganism | Diseases it causes |
|---|---|
| bacteria | gonorrhea; syphilis; mycoplasmosis; lymphogranuloma; inguinal granuloma; ureaplasmosis; chlamydia; chancroid. |
| Viruses | molluscum contagiosum; HIV; herpes; most strains of human papillomavirus; condyloma. |
| Mushrooms | candidiasis (thrush). |
| parasites | Phthiriasis; scabies. |
It is necessary to determine the type of pathogen in order to properly prescribe treatment. The symptoms of the disease can be similar, so therapy cannot be started without an examination and laboratory tests.
Self-medication or improperly selected drugs lead to the disease becoming chronic. It will be difficult to completely get rid of it.
Other reasons
If you do not have sexually transmitted diseases, then you should look for a problem in the reproductive system. problems with prostatitis occur most often. With it, instead of a pre-ejaculate, prostate secretions can be released in large quantities.
It is similar to the lubricant that appears at the moment of excitement. The inflammatory process increases the amount of secretions produced by the gland, as the body tries to maintain its reproductive function.
The liquid helps preserve sperm functions.
Reasons for excessive discharge can be:
- inflammatory processes occurring in the reproductive system;
- hypothermia of the body;
- allergic reaction;
- penile injury, chemical or physical.
Clear mucus from the urethra also performs protective functions. Occasionally, the body produces it in large quantities to restore the lining of the urethra. This happens after probing, taking a swab for analysis or inserting a catheter.
An increase in clear discharge during ejaculation is a symptom of infertility. Do not let everything take its course, see a doctor to get rid of the pathological process.
How is diagnosis and treatment carried out?
Hypersecretion can be a problem for men. In addition, the bedding gets dirty, unpleasant sensations appear and plaque forms on the head. If you face this problem, you must immediately contact a urologist. He will determine the cause of the increase in secretions and discuss ways to get rid of them.
A healthy man should visit a doctor every 6 months for preventive purposes. Do not hide existing problems at the reception, as this can lead to complications.
The diagnosis of changes in the nature of the discharge takes place according to the general plan:
- Urinalysis;
- blood sugar test, infections;
- smear
The liquid itself must be visually examined and then its biological composition determined. To do this, the doctor can gently press the head during the examination to pull it out of the urethra. A drop of liquid is applied to the glass and transferred to the laboratory.
If the etymology of a man's condition is not clear, then additional studies may be prescribed: special urine tests, radiography, ultrasound of the prostate. They help in clarifying the diagnosis, finding the cause of the changes.
When the volume of excretion in men increases during arousal, you should not drink antifungal agents or antibiotics, considering this condition as a sexually transmitted disease. The drugs taken will blur the clinical picture and it will be more difficult for the doctor to make a correct diagnosis. Only a urologist can prescribe a course of therapy and give recommendations after examination and examination.
Can you get pregnant from pre-ejaculate?
It has been medically proven that male lubricant contains a small number of spermatozoa. For conception, it is enough for only one of them to reach the egg. Therefore, it is recommended to use a condom from the very beginning of friction. Otherwise, there is a high probability that you will get pregnant even with interrupted intercourse or if you are protected only before ejaculation.
During repeated intercourse, the number of spermatozoa in the lubricant increases, so it is necessary to use a condom from the very beginning. If you do not want to use it, before the second contact, rinse the remaining sperm from the head well and urinate.
A high probability of conception is present in the middle of a woman's cycle, because at this moment ovulation occurs and the wall of the uterus opens. Sperm during this period, even without the nutrient medium of the seed, easily reach the egg.
In the remaining days of the cycle, they die quickly, because there is inadequate acidity in the vagina.
