Men, just like women, are very vulnerable to diseases of the genital area and therefore should 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 begins to appear from the penis, by the nature of which one can judge the health of men. And what discharge during excitement in humans is natural, and what pathologies report, now you will find out.
What is considered the norm?
To get an idea of the discharge from the penis indicating the development of various diseases, you must first determine which of them is normal. And they are:
- Libid urethrorrhea. It is the name of a clear liquid without a specific smell, which occurs at the time of sexual arousal and serves as a lubricant. At the same time, the transparent liquid from the penis is released in very small amounts and does not give the man any discomfort. The lubricating secretion contains sperm, which are also mobile and easily enter the partner's vagina, allowing him to get pregnant. It is for this reason that those who do not wish to have children in the near future are advised to use condoms (only if the woman is not doing well) at the start of intercourse, and not tothe end of intercourse because a lot to do.
- Sperm. It has a mucous consistency and a white color, does not differ in a specific smell and begins to stand out from the urethra only when the maximum peak of excitement 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 (it occurs in the middle of the menstrual cycle), the probability of conceiving a child is 80-90%, even though little ejaculate is released at the end. of sexual intercourse. It should be noted that some men associate this phenomenon with pathologies, but this is not the case. If the 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 have an unpleasant odor. The accumulation of smegma in the area of the glans penis is not a pathology, but indicates insufficient observance of the rules of personal hygiene.
All these secretions with strong sexual arousal are the absolute norm. However, if they are associated with other symptoms (pain in the head of the penis or groin, itching, hyperemia, specific smell, etc. ), this already indicates deviations that require an immediate visit to the doctor andan exam.
Pathological discharge from the penis
As already mentioned, it is normal for men to have mucus when they are aroused. But what if it contains blood impurities or pus? Of course, don't sit down and see 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 the reason why in men from the urethral canal there may be a specific discharge, it is necessary to note 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.
- Complications of an inflammatory nature that occur after an injury during a blow or surgery.
Mostly, fear and fear for their health in men arises in the situations where they notice blood flow from the urethral canal during ejaculation. And the reason that blood flows from the penis most often is oncological diseases affecting the prostate, testicles or spermatic cords. But in this case, there are other symptoms characteristic of these diseases:
- Pain when urinating.
- The urine turns red.
- Temperature increase.
- 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 so, in any case, it should not be delayed with its treatment. Most often, its development in men occurs against the background of a formed prostate adenoma, which has not responded to adequate treatment.
If a sticky transparent secret, viscous consistency, emitting an unpleasant odor begins to stand out through the urethra, this indicates the development of infectious diseases transmitted directly during sexual intercourse. Additional signs of their presence are itching, redness of the head of the penis and the appearance of a rash on it. 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 their composition, impurities of pus can be noted, which already indicates a complicated course of these diseases. If there is no pus, this is not a reason to postpone treatment, since such diseases can provoke the development of phimosis. This is a condition characterized by the adhesion of the foreskin to the glans penis and can only be removed by surgery.
Other infectious diseases can also become the cause of pathological discharge from the urethral canal in humans, with the development of which it is also necessary to immediately consult a doctor. Among them is the defeat of the paired genitals (testes) or urethra by fungi, staphylococci, streptococci, etc. In addition, they can be disturbed by itching in the perineum, swelling of the scrotum or glans penis, and hyperemia.
Diseases such as:
- balanoposthitis;
- non-gonorrheic urethritis;
- prostatorrhea;
- hemorrhage;
- spermatorrhea.
With these pathologies, a blood secret can also be released from the urethra of the penis, which is supplemented by pain in the groin, head of the penis and scrotum. Often with their development there is weakness, an increase in body temperature and difficulty in urinating.
What to do?
If a man, during sexual excitability, noticed a discharge from the urethra of an unusual exudate for him, you should immediately consult a doctor who will help establish the exact cause of its occurrence. 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 pelvic organs, etc.
As soon as the doctor establishes the cause of the pathological discharge, he prescribes treatment that can reduce the manifestations of the disease and prevent the development of complications against its background.
If a man does not consult a doctor and complete treatment, it 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 suddenly die. And to avoid this, when a pathological discharge appears, it is necessary to postpone sexual intercourse and consult a doctor. Only in this way will you have a chance to avoid the development of serious complications and preserve your male health for many years.
