Precum(
Pre-ejaculation is inevitable during human sexual intercourse.
This secretion is also secreted by a man during masturbation, in preparation for sexual intercourse (for example, caressing) or in the early stages of copulation, just before the man fully experiences orgasm and ejaculates.
Seminal fluid is formed mainly by the bulbourethral glands (Cooper's glands), as well as Littre's glands.
Littre's glands are an additional site of pre-sperm formation. These are tubular-alveolar glands of the urethra in the shape of a cluster, located along the entire length, from the external opening to the neck of the bladder, in the submucous, fibromuscular and connective tissue.
They excrete and secrete mucous fluid, the amount of which increases with sexual excitement.
Together with the secretion of Cooper's glands, the secretion of Littre's glands also serves to moisten the urethra, to maintain an alkaline reaction favorable to sperm during their passage through the urethra.
The amount of pre-ejaculate released.
The amount of pre-seminal fluid secreted by a man varies greatly between individuals. Some men do not produce presperm, while others produce up to 5 ml. Pre-seed contains a number of chemicals present in seeds, such as acid phosphatase. And some sperm markers, such as gamma-glutamyltransferase, are completely absent from sperm.
The function performed by the previous seed
The acidic environment of the male urethra and female vagina is hostile to male sperm. Pre-Semen neutralizes the residual acidity in the urethra caused by urine, thus creating a more favorable environment for the passage of sperm.
Normally, the vaginal environment is acidic; administration of pre-semen prior to ejaculation can alter the vaginal environment to promote sperm survival. Pre-ejaculation can pick up sperm left in the urethra from previous ejaculations.
Pre-semen does not act as a lubricant during sexual intercourse, but it facilitates the passage of sperm through the canal during ejaculation, and also participates in sperm coagulation.
Risks associated with the release of pre-sperm
Research has shown the presence of HIV in most pre-sex samples from HIV-infected men. Infection with the immunodeficiency virus leads to HIV infection, the final stage of which is known as AIDS.
Many also express concern that the presence of sperm in presperm is impossible and therefore cannot cause pregnancy, using this fact against the use of interrupted coitus (penile withdrawal) as a method of preventing pregnancy.
There have been no large studies to determine the sperm content of sperm, but a number of small studies have suggested that sperm is present in semen.
Increased production of pre-sperm
Some men are concerned about the amount of pre-seminal fluid they produce. One physician described a patient who was confused by semen seeping through his pants during kissing and other mild erotic stimulation.
Several reports have shown satisfactory results when such men were treated with a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor.
In such cases, one doctor recommended a differential diagnosis of prostatitis, discharge of prostatic secretions during straining associated with urination or defecation.
Discharge during arousal in men is called pre-ejaculate. It comes out of the opening of the urethra at the moment when the guy gets excited. Pre-seminal fluid is secreted by the bulbourethral glands and the Littre glands, which are located throughout the canal, from the external opening to the bladder neck.
Discharge during arousal in men performs the following functions::
- ensure the free passage of seminal fluid through the urethra;
- they destroy bacteria;
- they moisten and suppress the acidic environment in the urethra.
Precum can also act as a lubricant during intercourse, but in most cases the amount released will not be sufficient for this. Pre-ejaculate is one of the components of semen. During ejaculation, it enters the seminal fluid and mixes with the semen, which helps protect the sperm from the acidic environment of the woman's vagina.
Healthy preejaculate has the following characteristics:
- odorless;
- transparency;
- viscosity;
- absence of lumps or inclusions;
- does not cause unpleasant or painful sensations.
Pre-seed performs a cleaning function, so its consistency can be changed. A man may experience turbidity of the lubricant during repeated sexual intercourse, lack of hygiene or before ejaculation. It will be back to normal in 1-2 days. Otherwise, the development of a pathogenic process should be suspected.
Symptoms that indicate deviation of the lubricant from the norm:
- the appearance of fluid from the urethra during the day;
- the appearance of an unpleasant smell;
- pain when urinating;
- production of excessive mucus;
- voluntary release of lubrication without sexual arousal;
- presence of involvement of third parties;
- change in consistency to too thick or liquid.
These signs are characteristic of pathological processes that indicate the development of the disease.
Unhealthy discharge in men is divided into types:
| Spermatorrhea | Accidental leakage of sperm without achieving orgasm. The cause of the process is reduced muscle tone of the vas deferens. Pathology develops due to chronic inflammation |
| Haematorrhea | Discharge of lubricant mixed with blood. Appears in the case of injuries to the urethral mucosa |
| Leukocytic urethrorhoea | The exudative phase of the inflammatory process, which is the result of thermal, mechanical, chemical or viral damage to the urethral mucosa |
| Mucopurulent | They consist of a small number of leukocytes, serous fluid and glandular secretions. This mucus is characterized by active production at night. A man notices purulent discharge in the morning, and yellow stains can be found on his underwear. Mucous-purulent discharge occurs when the urethra is damaged by bacteria: trichomonas, ureamicoplasma, chlamydia |
| Purulent | They include a large number of leukocytes, urethral epithelium, mucus and serous fluid. They have a thick consistency and an unpleasant smell. They appear in the form of drops of a yellow or greenish hue. Evidence of the development of gonococcal urethritis, which forms on the background of chlamydia and gonorrhea |
The guy at the venereologist
The amount of mucus secreted can be abundant or small. Bad lubrication can be quite difficult to spot. To do this, you need to press the urethra so that the liquid comes out of the opening. It dries quickly, forming a film on the membrane of the head of the penis. The viscous consistency causes the urethral sponges to stick together.
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 are like alarm bells that indicate normal internal processes or pathology. Discharge in men when they are excited deserves special attention. At this point, a small amount of fluid comes out of the penis.
Its thickness, volume, shade and smell indicate the state of the male reproductive organs.
Occurrence of natural secretion
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 movement of sperm into the female cell for fertilization.
Once sperm enter the vagina, many obstacles appear in their path. First of all, this is an acidic environment where most male cells die. It is this secretion that occurs during erection that helps reduce acidity.
Usually, male secretion is absolutely transparent in color, without unpleasant odor and in small quantities. A medium thick consistency is considered normal.
The appearance of secretions occurs not only during sexual excitement, but also in the morning, when the organ is in a state of erection. In addition, liquid discharge appears during gentle caresses with the woman you love. This is how the body prepares for intimacy.
Depending on the degree of excitement, mucus can be of different volumes. 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.
Along with discharge during arousal, a man may have sperm, which sometimes achieves its goal.
The natural secretion that comes out of the penis during sexual activity is, of course, semen. It consists of sperm and the natural mucus of the male organ. It is whitish in color and has a dense character. It comes out of the penis as a result of sexual intercourse.
Discharge indicators are within normal limits
The amount of fluid that needs to be released when a man is aroused varies. Physiology of the body has a lot of influence. Everyone knows their limits if they take care of themselves regularly.
But if there is a change in the amount and nature of mucus, it is important to consult a doctor. By timely detection of the cause, 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 erection increases significantly. In addition, they become thicker than usual. And it looks a little cloudier. It is important that there is no yellow tint or blood elements. The norm of male secretion during arousal should correspond to the following characteristics:
- transparent water color;
- without a clearly pronounced unpleasant smell;
- of medium thickness.
It is important to consider that such male discharge is affected by lifestyle and physical illness. 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 during strong arousal leads to defecation. Physiologically, this is the norm. But the situation should not be a frequent occurrence.
The secretion that comes out of the penis contains sperm. 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 must correspond to the norm.
A natural reaction to poor intimate hygiene is the appearance of smegma. This particular type of discharge occurs in folds of skin near the head of the male genital organ. Usually smegma leads to inflammation or infection.
During adolescence, boys experience nocturnal emissions during puberty. As a result of erotic dreams, there is a strong excitement. This leads to an erection, after which voluntary ejaculation is observed. Wet dreams for representatives of the stronger sex are a physiological norm.
Change in secretions as a signal of disease
Unfortunately, men are not immune to sexually transmitted diseases. And since the body is created amazingly, the development of an infection can be determined by the discharge of secretions. Some diseases are detected only by this sign. Therefore, men should carefully monitor changes in the nature of their sexual secretions.
Abnormal discharge during erection often indicates the following changes:
- inflammation of the urinary tract, which is caused by the proliferation of pathological microorganisms;
- infections transmitted through intimate relationships;
- malignant formations;
- postoperative problems;
- genitourinary organ injuries.
Depending on the degree of the disease, the discharge from the penis can be large or scanty. In addition, pus or blood elements enter the clear liquid from the hole on the head of the penis. This causes a change in color and thickness.
Viscous, colorless secretion that occurs in young people during sexual excitement often signals the presence of a pathological infection. In case of 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 changes in male secretions. They are accompanied by a feeling of itching of the genital organ and its swelling. The causes of the changes are the following pathologies:
- prostatorrhea;
- balanoposthitis;
- hematuria;
- non-gonorrheal urethritis.
If a man notices obvious changes in his fluid 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.
In order to respond in time to the appearance of an infection, men are advised to monitor their discharge regularly. This applies both to the quiescent state of the penis and to sexual excitement. Regular visits to the urologist for preventive examinations serve as a reliable protection of his masculinity.
Discharge in men: normal or abnormal?
Discharges from the human bodyit means a lot. Usually their presence indicates a healthy state or any pathologies, the development of diseases or infectious processes. In some cases, the discharge itself should be absent, for example, with a runny nose, it is obvious that the person is sick. It's the same with ear discharge.
In the case of the reproductive system, everything is somewhat more complicated - fluid leaks from the genitals - their natural openings, which in some cases are normal, and in others will serve as one of the symptoms of the disease. And sometimes penile discharge is the only symptom of a serious developing disease.
It is impossible to precisely determine the cause and how normal the presence of the current secretion is in appearance. To confirm or refute the diagnosis, a laboratory examination is always required, which requires a visit to a urologist. Based only on the results of the tests, the doctor determines the appropriate treatment.
The presence of discharge during sexual excitement deserves special attentionwhen a man has an erection and fluid begins to flow from the opening of the urethra. It is important to pay attention to its consistency, smell, quantity, color. Let's consider in which cases you should be afraid for your health if the discharge appears during sexual excitement.
Physiological discharge during arousal
Libidinal urethrorhoea- This is the secret secreted by the gonads. It occurs in all men when they are aroused. The amount of secretion is small and can be formed during sexual intercourse. In some cases, the secretion is released in large quantities.
Norm or deviation?
How to determine whether a normal amount of secretion is released during excitement? The physiology of all men can be different and there is no secret to volume standards. However, if a person notices itfor no reason, the volume of the liquid increased, it changed its consistency, smell and color, this is a signal of the presence of infection, inflammation, problems with the genitals and so on.
There may be exceptions to this situation. So, if a man has not had sexual intercourse for a long time, the secretion increases in volume. It can be slightly thicker, more cloudy, but there should be no yellow color, blood stains or other changes. Maximum - low cloudiness.
A normal secret should have the following characteristics:
- no unpleasant smell;
- transparent color;
- medium thick consistency.
Factors that can affect secretion characteristics:
- diseases;
- nutritional characteristics (consumed food);
- abstinence from sexual activity;
- stress and bad lifestyle, weakened immunity.
In some cases, the release of secretions during arousal causes the act of defecation. From a physiological point of view, this process is considered normal, although its formation should be rare.
Smegma- another type of discharge that occurs during excitement. If hygiene is not respected, substances can form in the folds of the skin on the penis. If this process occurs, the possibility of developing inflammation and infections increases.
The seed must also have a certain consistency, smell and color. However, its features and characteristics may depend on individual characteristics. It is first released from the penis during intercourse or masturbation.
During wet sleep, sperm is also released.A wet dream– a condition in which a man experiences erection, excitement and ejaculation during sleep. Wet dreams usually occur in teenagers during puberty.
What pathologies can they be:
- the result of a change in one's own pathogenic flora (it is not dangerous, but requires medical supervision, because there is an increased risk of developing diseases and inflammation against the background of an increased number of bacteria and pathogenic microorganisms);
- sexually transmitted infections;
- tumors, cancerous diseases - oncological processes;
- result of injury, curvature of the penis or other physiological acquired or congenital disorders;
- consequences of surgical intervention (require a special approach and more careful monitoring).
| Classification criteria | Characteristic |
| According to the scope of allocation, they can be: |
|
| By highlight color: |
|
| By consistency: | |
| Frequency of discharge: |
|
The following factors influence the severity of discharge and symptoms that are not characteristic of a normal state of discharge::
- cause (disease, infection, inflammation, etc. );
- severity (degree of disease development);
- immunity;
- accompanying diseases;
- duration of the causative agent of the disease.
It is important to understand that the disease cannot be accurately determined by the symptoms of the discharge. Results and treatment can only be discussed after an accurate diagnosis has been made. .
Remission of sexually transmitted diseases
With sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), the nature of the discharge changes. Let's consider the main diseases in which these changes occur, depending on the nature of the discharge from the penis during arousal.
Mucous discharge
This is a sign of the following diseases:
- chlamydia;
- mycoplasmosis;
- ureaplasmosis.
At the same time, the consistency is liquid, but it seems to stretch, it resembles mucus. The color is transparent, practically indistinguishable from the norm.
Mucous discharge with purulent streaks
The color in this case is white, but not transparent. There is a milky shade. Leukocytes can also be noted in the composition.
Diseases with this type of discharge can be the following:
- trichomoniasis;
- chlamydia;
- ureaplasmosis.
In some cases, discharge is formed not only during excitement, but also in a calm state. The liquid seems to stick to the head of the penis and dries quickly.
Purulent discharge
In this case, the consistency is thick, sticky, opaque liquid, yellowish, sometimes with a greenish tint. It has an unpleasant smell. Mucus contains many leukocytes. Usually in this case we are talking about gonorrhea.

Discharge during inflammation
If a man does not have a sexually transmitted disease, we are talking about an inflammatory process, more precisely about its possible presence in the body.
The causes can be the following:
- streptococcus;
- candida;
- coli;
- staphylococcus
Non-gonorrheal urethritis
An inflammatory process in the urethra, the channel that passes fluid. In this case, the nature of the selection may be as follows:
- the presence of mucus;
- presence of pus;
- stickiness;
- turbidity.
In this case, there is pain, itching and discomfort.
Balanoposthitis
In this case, the discharge contains pus, there is a lot of it, and it is accompanied by unpleasant sensations and pain. Inflammation of the foreskin must be treated as soon as possible. The disease is accompanied by redness and swelling.
Prostatitis
In prostatitis - inflammation of the prostate gland - mucus is observed in the form of discharge, often with pus. At the same time, there are problems with potency, there is a frequent urge to urinate, when it is impossible to completely empty the bladder. Follow the pain.
Candidiasis
Candidiasis manifests itself in discharge that resembles cottage cheese. In this case, there is severe itching, the penis becomes red, especially the head.
Treatment
Treatment can be prescribed by your doctor. Depending on the identified disease, appropriate drugs are prescribed. Usually thisantibiotics, which are also different. Some antibiotics fight against sexually transmitted infections, others are aimed at suppressing the pathogenic environment - candida and other fungal microorganisms.
Conclusion
Discharge from the penis, more precisely from the urethral canal during arousal, can have certain consequences if ignored.
What you need to know about discharge during arousal:
- The normal condition of the liquid that is excreted from the head of the penis is transparent, white, without an unpleasant smell, pus or blood.
- Disturbances in discharge may indicate the development of inflammatory processes associated with sexually transmitted infections, as well as sexually transmitted diseases.
- The characteristics of the symptoms may depend on the duration of the disease, its characteristics and the man's immunity.
In some cases, a change in discharge is normal if there are objective reasons for it - changes in diet, concomitant diseases, abstinence from sexual activity.
