Men, like women, are very vulnerable to diseases of the genital area and therefore must also carefully monitor their well-being, paying special attention to the discharge from the urethra at the time of sexual arousal. Since it is in this state that a secret of the penis begins to appear, by the nature of which the health of men can be judged. And now you will find out what discharge during arousal in men is natural and what pathologies they signal.
What is considered the norm?
To get an idea of which discharge from the penis indicates the development of various diseases, you must first find out which of them is normal. And they are:
- Urethrhea libidosa. This is the name of a transparent liquid without a specific odor, which is produced at the time of sexual arousal and serves as a lubricant. At the same time, the clear liquid from the penis is released in very small amounts and does not provide any discomfort to the man. The lubricating secretion contains some sperm, which are also mobile and easily penetrate the partner's vagina, so you can get pregnant. It is for this reason that those who do not want to have children in the near future are advised to use condoms (only if the woman does not take it well) from the very beginning of the sexual relationship, and not at the end of the sexual relationship, since many do.
- Sperm. It has a mucous consistency and a white color, does not differ in a specific smell, and begins to protrude from the urethra only when the maximum peak of arousal is reached. It contains a high percentage of motile sperm and a secret produced by the sex glands. If this fluid enters a woman's vagina during ovulation (occurs in the middle of the menstrual cycle), the chance of conceiving a child is 80-90%, even if little ejaculate is released at the end of sexual intercourse. It is worth noting that some men associate this phenomenon with pathologies, but this is not the case. If other symptoms do not bother, this phenomenon is most often associated with the physiological characteristics of the body.
- Smegma. It is a secret produced by the sex glands located near the head of the penis. It may have a yellowish or whitish tint, and also give off an unpleasant odor. The accumulation of smegma in the area of the glans penis is not a pathology, but indicates insufficient compliance with the rules of personal hygiene.
All these secretions with strong sexual arousal are the absolute norm. However, if they are joined by other symptoms (pain in the head of the penis or in the groin, itching, hyperemia, a specific smell, etc. ), this already indicates deviations that require an immediate visit to the doctor and an examination.
Pathological discharge from the penis.
As already mentioned, it is normal for men to have mucus when they are excited. But what if it contains impurities of blood or pus? Of course, do not sit down and visit a doctor as soon as possible. After all, the presence of unnatural impurities in the secret secreted by the penis always speaks of the development of pathologies.
And discussing why in men from the urethral canal there may be a specific discharge, it is necessary to take into account the following pathologies accompanied by a similar symptom:
- Inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system, the provocateurs of which are various pathogenic microorganisms.
- Oncological diseases.
- STD.
- Inflammatory complications that occur after an injury during a blow or surgery.
Above all, fear and fear for their health in men arises in those situations where they notice the discharge of blood from the urethral canal during ejaculation. And the reason why blood flows from the penis is, most often, oncological diseases that affect the prostate gland, testicles, or spermatic cords. But in this case, there are other characteristic symptoms of these diseases:
- Pain when urinating
- Urine stains red.
- Temperature rise
- Mucous clots can come out of the urethra (observed in the later stages of the development of the pathology).
Important! Cancer is a dangerous disease that can be fatal. And therefore, in no case should you delay with your treatment. Most often, its development in men occurs against the background of a formed prostate adenoma, which did not respond to proper treatment.
If a sticky transparent secret, a slimy consistency, emitting an unpleasant smell begins to stand out through the urethra, this indicates the development of infectious diseases transmitted directly during sexual intercourse. Additional signs of its presence are itching, redness of the head of the penis and the appearance of a rash. Among the infectious diseases that affect the male genitourinary system, the most common are:
- ureaplasmosis;
- mycoplasmosis;
- chlamydia;
- herpes;
- syphilis.
With the development of infectious processes, the secretion released from the penis contains a large number of leukocytes, which makes them viscous. So, in its composition, impurities of pus can be noticed, which already indicates a complicated course of these diseases. If there is no pus, then this is not a reason to postpone treatment, because such diseases can cause the development of phimosis. This is a condition characterized by adhesion of the foreskin to the glans of the penis and can only be removed by surgery.
Other infectious diseases can also become the cause of pathological discharge from the urethral canal in men, with the development of which it is also necessary to immediately go to the doctor. Among them is the defeat of the paired genitalia (testes) or the urethra by fungi, staphylococci, streptococci, etc. In addition, they can be altered by itching in the perineum, swelling of the scrotum or glans penis and hyperemia.
Diseases such as:
- balanoposthitis;
- non-gonorrheal urethritis;
- prostatorrhea;
- hemorrhage
- spermatorrhea.
With these pathologies, a blood secret can also be released from the penis urethra, which is complemented by pain in the groin, the head of the penis and the scrotum. Often with its development, weakness, an increase in body temperature and difficulty urinating are noted.
To do?
If a man, during sexual excitability, noticed a discharge from the urethra of an exudate unusual for him, he should immediately visit a doctor who will help him to establish the exact cause of the appearance of it. For this purpose, as a rule, a number of diagnostic measures are prescribed, including:
- Urethral smear for bacterial culture.
- Spermogram.
- Examination by a proctologist.
- General analysis of urine and blood.
- Ultrasound of the pelvic organs, etc.
As soon as the doctor establishes the cause of the pathological discharge, he prescribes a treatment that can reduce the manifestations of the disease and prevent the development of complications in its context.
If a man does not visit a doctor and does not undergo full treatment, this can lead to the progression of the disease and the appearance of irreversible consequences that will affect not only the quality of sexual life, but also his health in general. .
After all, some diseases of the genitourinary sphere at the time of ejaculation provoke the opening of bleeding, which is why a man can die suddenly. And to prevent this, when a pathological discharge appears, it is necessary to postpone sexual intercourse and be sure to visit a doctor. Only in this way will he have the possibility to avoid the development of serious complications and preserve his male health for many years.
