The division of arousal in men is a normal physiological phenomenon due to the processes taking place in the organs of the reproductive system.
In medicine, the secretion of urethral secretions during sexual stimulation is determined by the term libidinal urethra.
The amount and nature of the discharges may vary. In the case of an erection, a medium-density clear fluid usually comes out of the urethra. The amount and duration of selection depends on the severity of the sexual arousal.
Important: men's secretions, when excited, contain active sperm (in small amounts) that can penetrate the woman's vagina to fertilize the egg.
Therefore, members of the stronger sex should be careful if their partner’s pregnancy is not planned.
In some situations, the amount of secretion is too abundant, and this may indicate the development of diseases of the urogenital tract. Let’s try to figure out which phenomena we consider to be deviating from the norm and what shouldn’t cause concern.
Abnormal conditions
The condition of their urogenital system can be judged by assessing men's urethral secretions.
The appearance of uncharacteristic secretions from the urethra is often a symptom of the development of pathological disorders. In addition, some diseases can only be suspected on this basis, as other specific phenomena may be absent. In light of this, it is important to monitor for any changes in the quality and quantity of secreted secretions.
Non-specific discharge from aroused or resting men often indicates the development of such pathologies:
- Inflammatory processes in the genitourinary tract caused by opportunistic microorganisms or infectious agents.
- Diseases infected through the genital organs.
- Oncological pathologies.
- Postoperative complications.
- Consequences of trauma to organs of the urogenital system.
The secretion selected from the urethra may appear in small, medium, or abundant amounts. It may also contain blood or pus contaminants. The color of the liquid can also be different - transparent, yellowish, greenish, etc. The consistency of the secretion (dense or liquid), like other characteristics, depends on the nature of the origin of the disorder and the type of pathogen. There are also factors such as the severity of the inflammatory process, the condition of the immune system, the presence of concomitant diseases.
Viscous transparent discharge in men in an excited state or in a relaxed state may indicate such infectious pathologies: mycoplasmosis, chlamydia, ureaplasmosis. Such an abnormal secret contains a high percentage of leukocytes. In the complex course of these diseases, purulent impurities are found in the secretions. When chlamydia develops, fluid accumulates and adheres to the head of the penis, gluing the foreskin.
Often, uncharacteristic discharge is the result of other infectious pathologies. Candidiasis, staphylococcus or streptococcus, Escherichia coli and so on are infections. Men are worried not only about the strange secretions, but also about other signs of damage - itching, hyperemia, swelling of the tissues of the external genitals.
The reasons for the appearance of the pathological secret may be the following factors:
- non-gonorrheal urethritis;
- hematorrhea;
- prostatitis;
- balanoposthitis;
- spermatorrhoea.
If men observe a change in the nature of their urethral discharge, they must seek professional help, be examined, and, if necessary, be treated appropriately.
Normal conditions
To distinguish between abnormal and physiological secretions, you need to know what is considered the norm.
- Libidous urethrorrhea- that is, the secret created by sexual stimulation.
- Semen- fluid leaving the urethra during ejaculation. Such secretions are white, containing a high percentage of sperm and the secretion of the gonads. Sperm is formed during orgasm, at the end of intercourse, during masturbation or emission.
- Smegma- a secret that the gland encrypts in the region of the vaginal penis. Smegma does not appear in men who perform hygienic procedures regularly and monitor the cleanliness of the penis.
Conclusion
So we learned what kind of discharge is associated with men as a natural physiological phenomenon, and figured out what to be alarming about and why you could become smart to contact a professional.
Members of the stronger sex are advised to have regular preventive examinations with a urologist and be mindful of their health!
