When the penis is aroused, a small amount of fluid is released from the urethra. This is a normal phenomenon that is common to almost all healthy men. As the disease progresses, the consistency and volume of the lubricating oil change. There is an unpleasant odor, pain or burning sensation when urinating or during an erection. Such a clinical picture requires special attention, because there is a danger to health.
In men, secretion during arousal is called pre-ejaculation. When the boy is excited, he leaves the opening of the urethra. The presemen are secreted by the bulbouretral glands and Littre's glands, which run along the canal from the external opening to the neck of the bladder.
In men, separation during awakening performs the following functions:
- to ensure the free passage of seminal fluid through the urethra;
- to kill bacteria;
- moisturizes and soothes acidic environment in urethra
Premenopause is also able to act as a lubricant during sexual intercourse, but in most cases the amount allocated will not be enough. Pre-ejaculation is one of the components of sperm. During ejaculation, it enters the seminal fluid and mixes with the semen, which protects the sperm from the acidic environment of the woman's vagina.
The amount of pre-ejaculation directly depends on the degree of excitement of the boy. Maximum concentration is achieved with strong sexual desire. The normal amount of liquid is 5 ml.
Some members of the stronger sex are physiologically unable to secrete lubricant. Absence of the penis during an erection reduces the ability to conceive.
A healthy pre-ejaculation has the following characteristics:
- lack of smell;
- transparency;
- viscosity;
- absence of lumps or inclusions;
- does not cause discomfort and pain.
The seed performs pre-cleansing functions, so its consistency may vary. During repeated sexual intercourse, a man may observe a lack of hygiene or a turbidity of the lubricant before ejaculation. It will return to normal in 1-2 days. Otherwise, the development of a pathogenic process should be suspected.
In men, pathological mucus secretion differs from healthy ones in color, odor and consistency. They are almost always accompanied by anxiety.
Symptoms of abnormal lubrication:
- appearance of fluid from the urethra during the day;
- formation of an unpleasant odor;
- pain when urinating;
- formation of excessive amounts of mucus;
- arbitrary release of lubricant without sexual desire;
- availability of third party receipts;
- too thick or liquid consistency.
These symptoms are characteristic of pathological processes that indicate the development of disease.
Unhealthy discharge in men is divided into types:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Spermatoreya | Voluntary flow of sperm before reaching orgasm. The reason for the process is a decrease in the tone of the vas deferens muscles. Pathology develops due to chronic inflammation |
| Hematoreya | Isolation of lubricating oil with blood impurities. Occurs with damage to the mucous membrane of the urethra |
| Leukocyte urethra | Exudative stage of the inflammatory process caused by thermal, mechanical, chemical or viral damage to the mucous membrane of the urethra |
| Mucopulent | They consist of a small number of leukocytes, serous fluid and glandular secretions. It is characterized by the active formation of mucus at night. The man sees pus in the morning and yellow spots can be found on his underwear. Mucopurulent discharge occurs when the urethra is affected by bacteria: Trichomonas, ureamycoplasma, chlamydia |
| Purulent | They include a large number of leukocytes, urethral epithelium, mucus and serous fluid. They have a thick consistency and an unpleasant odor. They appear in the form of drops that have a yellow or greenish color. Indicate the development of gonococcal urethritis formed on the background of chlamydia and gonorrhea. |
The amount of mucus secreted can be both large and small. Poor lubrication can be very difficult to observe. To do this, you need to press on the urethra so that the fluid comes out of the hole. It dries quickly, forming a film on the membrane of the head of the penis. The viscous consistency causes the sponges of the urethra to stick together.
The appearance of sexual desire in women is accompanied by the release of fat and swelling of the mammary glands. However, not everyone knows what is released during arousal among members of the stronger sex. Men are able to produce not only seminal fluid during sex, but also a special lubricant that facilitates the sliding of the genitals during friction. This substance, which is aroused in men, is called pre-ejaculation.
Description
Upon awakening, men develop a colorless, clear mucus called pre-ejaculation. Occurs with an erection, but may appear after it. If men do not have fat when they are aroused, it is a sign of some kind of pathology related to the reproductive system. The release of this fluid prevents damage to the male genitalia during vaginal penetration.
In medicine, lubrication during awakening in men is called temporary. This substance is formed not only before sexual intercourse, but also with light sexual arousal, during rubbing, as well as during masturbation. The appearance of fat in men during waking up indicates the desire to have intercourse with a partner.
Pre-seed composition
Pre-ejaculation is a mucous secretion that contains various enzymes and alkalis. Because the environment of the female vagina is acidic and rejects male semen, the lubricant neutralizes the aggressiveness of such female microflora.
There is a myth that a woman can get pregnant from a discharge from the male genitals. The fact is that the lubricating oil does not contain any sperm, but it can happen without contraception, a few hours after masturbation, or during sexual intercourse after the previous sexual intercourse.
To prevent unwanted pregnancies, experts recommend the use of condoms or other contraceptives.
Basic features
Lubricant is released during arousal in men, it is not only a clear lubricating fluid, but also a protective reaction of the mucous membrane. Such secretions facilitate the penetration of the male genitalia into the female vagina and friction if the fair sex releases a small amount of such a substance.
Lubrication in men during awakening has several very important functions, they are:
- Neutralization of increased acidity of vaginal microflora.
- Facilitate the penetration of the penis, help the movement of sperm through the cervix.
- Increase your chances of conception.
- Removal of the contents of the urethra.
In an acidic environment, sperm die very quickly. Thanks to the alkaline presemen, they enter the reproductive system completely and are able to fertilize the egg. Therefore, male lubricant has the ability to maintain sperm viability.
In addition, these male secretions from the urethra increase the chances of conception because the seminal fluid penetrates the uterus faster during sliding. Natural lubricants help prevent the use of artificial substitutes, as well as make it easier for a woman to enter the vagina if her secretions are low.
What does it look like normally?
Thus, the problem of lubricating a man during waking up was solved. What does he look like? Externally, this liquid looks like a simple transparent mucus. It is released in the amount of 1 to 5 ml during sexual intercourse. This volume is enough to make sex comfortable for partners. As part of this seed, there is smegma, an oily substance that accumulates in the folds of the foreskin. If a man stays faithful to only one sexual partner or uses a condom during sexual intercourse, there is no discoloration and no extra inclusions in the fluid. Only a whitish light shade is possible.
When to see a doctor?
Many women still don't know if men are getting fat when they're excited. Some people just didn't care. However, it is a fact that this fluid is extremely important during sexual intercourse.
If any suspicious symptoms appear, a man should see a doctor immediately. Thanks to this, it will be possible to detect the disease at an early stage of development, and therefore a rapid recovery will come. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to the composition and shade of your seeds in advance. Additional symptoms that help determine the diagnosis include:
- Increased body temperature, fever, fever.
- Pain or discomfort in the area of the organs located in the small pelvis.
- Redness, swelling and rash on the skin.
- Bloody purulent impurities in male secretions.
- Burning and itching in the urethra.
- Hyperemia in the penis.
- Erectile dysfunction, urinary retention.
Similar pathological processes in the male body during awakening and at rest are observed in the case of sexually transmitted diseases. If several or even one symptom is found, you should see a doctor immediately. It is likely that the man will need urgent antibiotic therapy.
There is no pre-discharge
If a man gets too fat when he is aroused, it can be called a feature of his body. However, in some cases, members of the stronger sex do not feel the release of fluid during sexual intercourse, because it begins to be released only after the penis enters the vagina.
In 5% of cases, lack of lubrication is a sign of the presence of some kind of inflammatory disease. In this case, it is better to consult a specialist about such a problem. It should also be noted that in the elderly, urethral discharge may not occur at all.
Consistency and color change
It has been said above that if men secrete a lot of fat when they wake up, this is the norm, but if it is too much, it should be a warning. However, changes in color and consistency are considered a reason to see a doctor. Normally, the color of the seminal fluid is clear and slightly whitish. You should also pay attention to the density of these secretions. Seminal fluid should not be thick and should flow freely through the urethra during sexual arousal. The reasons for consulting a specialist are as follows:
- The formation of an unpleasant odor, such as fish, which has the smell of mold.
- Contaminants of pus and blood.
- Changes in the structure of seminal fluid, the formation of thickened sediments, thickening.
- Color change.
Red, gray, orange, green and other shades are a sign of an infectious or inflammatory process in the body. Thus, the male body reacts to any viral or bacterial invasion that enters it. In some cases, colored discharge is a sign of a natural healing process. For example, after surgery on the prostate gland, after antibiotic therapy or any other surgery.
Clear viscous discharge in some cases indicates infection with infectious diseases, such as streptococcus, staphylococcus, as well as Escherichia coli. However, the appearance of bacteria will be observed not only in the preseminal fluid, but also in other secretions of the male body.
Doctors' opinion
The gray-green color of the fluid indicates the presence of infection in the male body. However, this symptom is not always a sign of a sexually transmitted disease, as ARVI or the flu can manifest itself. In parallel, the man's body temperature rises.
A thick white discharge indicates the development of a fungal disease, most often candidiasis. The disease is transmitted to a man from an infected sexual partner. When this pathogen is detected, both women and men need to be treated.
If the fluid is red, it indicates the development of urological diseases, such as cystitis, urethritis, but it can also be a sign of chronic prostatitis and a number of other diseases not related to the urinary system.
The result
In these cases, it is not necessary to self-medicate and allow the disease to progress. Sexually transmitted diseases can cause many pathologies, as well as rectal dysfunction, urinary problems and a weakened immune system.
The appearance of a secret extracted from the human body provides information about both norms and deviations. For example, the appearance of fluid with a runny nose or otitis media clearly indicates the disease. The human reproductive system is more complex. When excited, segregation in men can indicate a normal state of health or, conversely, can signal the development of a disease.
Should men have secretions during sexual arousal?
In men, in some cases, the appearance of mucus in the urethra is a natural and necessary process. When an erection occurs, a transparent discharge of a few drops is seen. They are called preseminal fluid, and such physiological events are completely normal.
The volume of mucus secretion depends entirely on the characteristics of the male body and must meet certain characteristics in order to be considered the norm. In particular, there should be no excessive density, color, specific odors.
The appearance of a secretion occurs in the following cases that cause an erection:
- masturbation;
- Sexual caresses of the partner;
- Thoughts on intimacy.
The frequency of this phenomenon also depends on the characteristics of the reproductive system. Some men experience discharge at every awakening, while others rarely observe it.
From the point of view of medical experts, the presence of exudate during sexual arousal helps conception - it plays an additional role for sperm in the process of reaching the egg and reduces the acidity of the female vagina, which destroys sperm. . Accordingly, secretions from the genitals are actively involved in the process of fertilization and are considered an important mechanism of the male reproductive system.
Why does this happen?
Doctors have not fully determined the cause of fluid leakage from the penis, but it has been proven that the release of lubricating oil during arousal in men helps to make it easier for the head of the reproductive organ to come out of the folds without injury or damage. Careful intimate hygiene should be carefully observed, as the secreted fluid is an excellent breeding ground for pathogenic bacteria.
It should be noted that prolonged abstinence causes more discharge, and the composition of the secretion becomes thicker and cloudy. It is necessary to ensure that no discoloration, streaks of blood and an unpleasant odor are visible. Some doctors believe that the formation of fluid occurs because the body is preparing for intimacy with a woman.
Pathological discharge can appear for various reasons:
- Malnutrition, especially the use of sour, spicy, acid;
- Inflammatory processes caused by pathogenic bacteria;
- venereal diseases;
- Complications following surgery or injury;
- Oncological pathologies.
Types of secretions
Several types of discharge are normal, provided they are not accompanied by additional symptoms.
However, if a certain odor, itching, fever, pain in the groin or genitals becomes a factor, it is already a cause for concern and contact a urologist.
Types of normal discharge
There are 3 types of completely normal and natural production and flowing secrets.
- Libidinous urethra. A mystery with a lubrication function. Looks like a clear liquid, odorless. Appears in a small volume, does not cause discomfort. It contains a small amount of sperm, but a partner's pregnancy can occur through unprotected sex;
- Spegma. White cannabis, sometimes yellowish, often gives off an unpleasant odor. Fluid secretion is provided by glands under the foreskin. His appearance does not indicate pathology, but shows that the man neglects the rules of personal hygiene;
- Sperm. A white liquid with a mucous consistency. During orgasm, discharge from the urethra occurs. Contains a high percentage of sperm & secretions
Mucus-containing secretions
It often indicates the occurrence of sexually transmitted diseases. If the secretion has an increasing viscosity, but remains transparent, the following diseases are likely to occur:
The disease is also confirmed by high levels of leukocytes in blood tests.
The mucous membranes of the milky light with purulent streaks are accompanied by the following diseases:
In the presence of these pathologies, the fluid can also be released in a calm state, after which it sticks to the head of the penis and dries.
Purulent discharge
Evidence of gonorrhea. The resulting liquid is greenish-yellow in color and has an unpleasant odor. The consistency is thick and sticky. When analyzed secretly, a significant level of leukocytes is detected.
Discharge during inflammation
Causes inflammatory diseases that change the composition of secretions:
- Staphylococcus;
- coli;
- Candida fungus;
- Streptococcus.
In the case of non-gonococcal urethritis - inflammation of the urethral canal, characterized by secreted fluid:
- Blurring and stickiness;
- The presence of mucus;
- Purulent content.
Accompanied by pain, discomfort, itching.
Circumcision skin disease, balanoposthitis, is characterized by abundant discharge with a large purulent content. There is redness, swelling, severe pain.
Prostatitis is characterized by the secretion of mucus mixed with pus. Additional symptoms - pain, decreased erectile function, the desire to empty the bladder often.
To diagnose candidiasis, it is enough to study a photo that shows its latent characteristics. It has a curd consistency, this form of mycosis is accompanied by redness of the head of the penis, unbearable itching.
Discharge with blood
Cannabis, which contains blood, requires the most careful attention. Shows similar symptoms:
- Infectious diseases, especially chronic infectious urethritis;
- Damage to the urethral canal during medical procedures;
- Removal of sand and stones from the kidneys, blood is more noticeable during urination;
- Malignant formations in the prostate gland, ovaries, genitals. In this case, the discharge contains brown or dark blood, often in the form of clots.
Norm or deviation?
An unequivocal sign of pathology is the appearance of mucus, pus, discoloration, fishy or sour odor, stickiness or turbidity.
- Medium density;
- transparency;
- Lack of smell.
In addition to diseases, the quality of the secret is affected by:
It is important to analyze small changes in color and consistency:
- Having sex, having or not having casual and unprotected sex;
- Factors that cause a decrease in the body's protective functions;
- Possible changes to the regular menu;
- Presence of comorbid diseases.
Do I need to see a doctor?
Immediate visit to the doctor requires a secret that is not typical for men. Any change in the structure and color of the fluid requires examination to determine the factors that cause such disorders.
Diagnostic measures include:
- spermogram;
- Swab from the urethral canal;
- Ultrasound examination of the organs of the genitourinary system;
- Urine sample for general analysis;
- Clinical blood test.
Based on the diagnostic results, a treatment regimen is prescribed for the underlying disease that causes the appearance of pathological exudate. Ignoring such symptoms can lead to poor well-being and a chronic form of the disease that is difficult to treat. A timely visit to the urologist will allow you to cope with the disease quickly and maintain your health for a long time.
