Pre-seminal fluid in men: composition and function

Seminal fluid before or after ejaculation clarifies what appears before ejaculation during orgasm. Unknowingly, men who think that the discharge is premature may be scared, and women are afraid of getting pregnant.

Information about the nature of the formation and its composition before ejaculation will allow you to bring harmony and peace to the relationship.

What is Precum

Pre-seminal, or Cooper fluid, is formed in a person when it comes out of the urethra in a state of sexual arousal, appearing as a colorless transparent viscous drop. Excreted during sexual intercourse or foreplay.

Cooperian (bulbourethral) glands are the main source of fluid before fertilization. Littre glands serve to form an additional residue.

Formation mechanism

The bulbourethral or cooper glands, located in the perineum muscles at the base of the penis, produce natural lubrication in men. Littre's glands, located inside the urethra until the external opening of the bladder, can also act as a lubricant in the penis. They secrete a mucous, alkaline fluid by increasing the volume produced by the Cooper glands before ejaculation.

When sexual arousal is reached, the pelvic muscles contract, closing the urethra and preventing urination during sexual intercourse. At this point, the Cooper and Littre glands begin to lubricate the male.

Depending on the physiological characteristics of each man, the amount of semen in advance is different, usually between two drops of 5 ml. Under certain conditions, the amount of discharge may be greater.

Structure

Fluid before ejaculation is released when a man's genitals are under intense arousal. It is alkaline before sowing and contains a number of chemicals.

The pre-discharge structure is a colloidal, gel-like mass consisting of the following.

  • with:
  • a number of enzymes and glycopolysaccharides:
  • potassium, calcium, sodium and some magnesium ions.

Sperm in the pre-seminal fluid may be accidental when they enter after previous intercourse or masturbation.

Functions

In a man's urethra, as in a woman's vagina, there is an acidic environment that kills sperm. The substance neutralizes acidity before sowing and creates a favorable environment for seeds.

The pre-discharge fluid has other useful functions:

  • is a lubricant for painless insertion of the penis into the vagina, facilitates the implementation of friction during movement,
  • facilitates the movement of ejaculation along the genital canal, moisturizes,
  • cleanses the urethra from previous discharge and urine residue,
  • protects semen from damage.

Pre-sperm and pregnancy

It is not possible to fertilize an egg with fluid before ejaculation. There is no sperm in the sperm before ejaculation, but the likelihood of falling into the lubricating oil remains after a previous orgasm, especially after the last one.

Pregnancy can occur in the following cases:

  • sperm enters Cooper's fluid,
  • seeds are high,
  • Sexual intercourse occurs at the most opportune moment for conception in a woman.

Sperm cells live for a few seconds because they are in an unfavorable environment, but the strongest ones are able to survive until the next unprotected intercourse in the canal of the male genitalia or on the surface of the head.

I have sperm

There is no sperm in the pre-seminal fluid. They do not fall into it at the moment of establishment. Seeds and pre-seeds are produced by various unrelated organs. The lubricant is released from the man before ejaculation.

The possibility of a live sperm entering the presidium from the outside remains after recent unprotected intercourse or masturbation.

Sexual intercourse was stopped

Superstitions about the ability of male natural lubricants to fertilize eggs may have arisen from the onset of pregnancy, using disconnected intercourse as a method of contraception. In this way, the man removes the penis from the vagina before ejaculation to avoid conception. However, in a state of intense agitation, if it fails to remove its body before ejaculation begins, it is quite possible for the egg to be fertilized by releasing a small amount of the first sperm.

When sperm from a previous ejaculation can enter the egg with free lubrication, unprotected sexual intercourse during interrupted intercourse leaves the woman the opportunity to become pregnant with a man's ejaculation again.

Prevention of unwanted pregnancies

If the presum enters the vagina

One of the purposes of pre-seminal fluid is to facilitate the penetration of the male genitalia into the female and to lubricate them during friction so that they enter the vagina naturally.

If the partners are planning to become pregnant, such a lubricant will only help. Otherwise, it is necessary to take precautions for unprotected intercourse or switch to the use of contraceptives.

Pre-sperm analysis

When using cessation of movement due to pregnancy as a method of contraception, a man has a misconception about the composition of ejaculation in natural lubricants. The hypothesis has been featured in a number of articles in the medical literature, with some university professors misinforming students.

To determine the truth, an experiment was conducted in Israel with pre-seed analysis of volunteer project participants. It was taken from completely healthy men before ejaculation and from men of different ages with problems of the genitourinary system. No seeds were found in any of the samples.

The test fluid contains gel, water, enzymes, minerals, especially sodium. It is due to sodium that reacts with alkali before sowing.

To analyze and examine Cooper's fluid, you should contact a specialist if abnormalities or pathologies are found.

Contact a specialist for analysis

Possible pathologies

Premature ejaculation is the norm in men who are sexually aroused. Changes in this area of the body's vital activity should be a cause for concern.

Reasons to consult a specialist may be:

  • appearance of a color gray, green or yellow,
  • appearance of blood
  • density change to curd,
  • the smell of mold.

The pathological symptom may be the release of a colorless fluid without an erection caused by streptococcus, staphylococcus or E. coli.

In case of reproductive dysfunction in a man, there are:

  • pain in the lower abdomen,
  • at the same time often urinate and cramp
  • temperature rise,
  • hyperemia of skin areas,
  • purulent discharge from the urethra in the absence of sexual arousal.

If cheese spots appear on the seeds in advance, it may be an inflammatory disease, candidiasis. You should consult a doctor.

There are cases when a specialist is asked about the release of large amounts of pre-sperm with the slightest excitement. This makes the man uncomfortable, the discharge will be noticeable to others. Such a failure can be treated and after the examination the andrologist prescribes therapy.
