The attribution in men to arousal is a normal physiological phenomenon, due to the processes that occur in the organs of the reproductive system.
In medicine, the secretion of secretions from the urethra at the time of sexual stimulation is defined by the term libidinal urethra.
The amount of secretion can be different, as well as its nature. When an erection occurs, as a rule, a clear liquid of medium density comes out of the urethra. The amount and duration of excretion depends on the severity of sexual arousal.
Important: the discharge in the man, when excited, contains active sperm (in small amounts), which, penetrating the woman's vagina, can fertilize an egg.
Therefore, representatives of the strong sex need to be careful if a partner's pregnancy is not planned.
In some situations, the amount of secretion is very abundant and this may indicate the development of diseases of the genitourinary tract. We will try to find out which phenomena are considered a deviation from the norm and which should not cause concern.
Pathological conditions
By assessing the secretion of the urethra in men, one can assess the state of their genitourinary system.
The appearance of an atypical secretion from the urethra usually serves as a symptom of the development of pathological disorders. In addition, some diseases can be suspected only on this basis, since other specific phenomena may be absent. Therefore, it is important to be aware of any changes in the quality and quantity of secretions secreted.
Nonspecific discharge in men with arousal or at rest usually indicates the development of such pathologies:
- Inflammatory processes in the genitourinary tract caused by opportunistic microorganisms or infectious agents.
- Diseases that are infected by the genital tract (STD).
- Oncological pathologies.
- Complications after surgery.
- The consequences of trauma to the organs of the genitourinary system.
The secret secreted by the urethra can be scarce, appear in moderate or abundant amounts. In addition, it may contain blood or pus impurities. The color of the liquid can also be different - transparent, yellowish, greenish and so on. The consistency of the secretion (thick 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 state of the immune system, the presence of concomitant diseases.
A viscous and transparent secretion in men, when excited or in a calm state, can indicate such infectious pathologies: mycoplasmosis, chlamydia, ureaplasmosis. This pathological secret contains a large percentage of leukocytes. With a complicated course of these diseases, purulent impurities can be found in the secretion. If chlamydia develops, the fluid builds up and sticks to the head of the penis, sticking the foreskin.
Atypical discharge is often the result of other infectious pathologies. We are talking about infection with candidiasis, staphylococci or streptococci, Escherichia coli and so on. Men are concerned not only with strange secretions, but also with other signs of damage - itching, hyperemia, swelling of the tissues of the external genitals.
The reasons for the emergence of a pathological secret may be the following factors:
- non-gonorrheic urethritis;
- hematorrhea;
- prostatorrhea;
- balanoposthitis;
- spermatorrhea.
If men observe changes in the nature of the secretion of the urethra, they should definitely seek the advice of a specialist, be examined and, if necessary, undergo appropriate treatment.
Normal states
To distinguish pathological and physiological discharge, you need to know what is considered the norm.
- Livid urethrorrhea- that is, a secret formed under the influence of sexual stimulation.
- Sperm- the fluid that leaves the urethra during ejaculation. This secretion is white, contains a high percentage of sperm and a secret from the gonads. Sperm is produced during orgasm at the end of intercourse, masturbation or during emission.
- Smegma- secret secreted by the glands located in the region of the penis glans. Smegma does not appear in men who regularly perform hygiene procedures and monitor penis cleanliness.
Conclusion
Thus, we discover what type of discharge in humans during arousal is a natural physiological phenomenon, and we also discover what should be alarming and become a reason to contact a specialist.
Representatives of the strong sex are recommended to have regular preventive exams with a urologist and to be aware of your health!
