Discharge during erection in men

In men, during arousal, discharge from the urethra of a different nature is observed. They usually do not cause alarm, as they are of natural origin. But there are cases when discharge is pathological in nature and requires medical intervention.

Natural secretion of pre-seminal fluid

In a healthy man, during an erection, a clear liquid is always released from the penis in a small volume. This phenomenon is considered the norm and is not associated with any pathological process. In medicine, such a natural secretion of secretions during arousal is called urethrorea, and the fluid itself is called pre-ejaculate.

general features

Normally, such a secret is absolutely transparent and has a medium consistency in density. Urethrorea is observed not only during arousal, but also during a morning erection. Outside the urethra, pre-seminal fluid begins to be released during stroking with a sexual partner and during preparation for intercourse. The same reaction is observed with masturbation. The initial phase of intercourse and immediately before the onset of orgasm can also be accompanied by the release of the ejaculant. All of these cases are natural and therefore precum discharge should not cause panic.

Such mucus is needed to neutralize residual acidity, both in the urethra itself and in the vagina. Since spermatozoa simply die in an acidic environment, it is the precum that prepares favorable conditions for them.

Number of secretions

For each man, the amount of liquid secreted in these cases is strictly individual. But the greater the degree of arousal, the greater the secretion released. It can be a couple of drops and quite impressive volumes of liquid, reaching 5ml. In some men, precum is absent as such. The place of formation of the preseme are the Cooper and Littre glands. They are located along the urethra and produce a secret, the amount of which increases with arousal.

In such a secret, sperm can be present in an insignificant amount. Therefore, broken relationships do not always guarantee protection against unwanted pregnancy. Of course, there is no semen in the secretion itself, but the remnants of semen in the canals inevitably end up in the pre-ejaculate.

Sometimes men are concerned about excessive discharge of pre-seminal fluid during an erection. In this case, doctors recommend differential diagnostics to exclude prostatorrhea - the release of prostate juice during urination or defecation.

Natural sperm production

The second type of natural fluid that is released from the penis following an erection is, of course, semen. Ejaculation is the natural result of ejaculation. The seed is whitish and viscous. Sperm consists of the secretion of the gonads and the semen itself. Sperm is released, both as a result of sexual intercourse and as a result of masturbation. Such discharge is accompanied by sexual release.

Absence of sperm secretion can indicate serious illness and requires serious examination.

What will he say about the pathology

Usually, the presence of discharge during erection is not associated with pathologies. But in some cases, you should pay attention to deviations from the norm, as evidenced by:

  • unnatural shade of discharge - yellow, green, gray color will tell about the pathology;
  • the presence of blood in semen or urine;
  • pus, lumps, or clots in the secretions
  • an unpleasant or nauseating smell emanating from the penis, which can indicate inflammatory and infectious processes;
  • painful sensations or discomfort that occur during an erection.

It is these unnatural signs accompanying the discharge to arousal that clearly indicate the presence of pathological processes. Itching, redness, or swelling are also a warning sign. In such cases, a man should not take self-medication or wait for an independent solution of the situation. The right decision would be to visit a doctor for a diagnosis.

Types of possible pathologies

It is not easy to assess the state of the genitourinary system using a single shock. But it is the unusual secret secreted by the urethra that is a sign of some pathologies. And for some diseases, it is the presence of specific secretions without the presence of other symptoms that is characteristic.

A man should carefully monitor the quality and quantity of fluid from the penis, both during arousal and under normal conditions.

With the appearance of nonspecific discharge during arousal, one can suspect the presence of:

  • inflammatory processes occurring in the genitourinary system, which is associated with the activation of the activity of infectious and opportunistic particles;
  • sexually transmitted diseases;
  • pathologies of an oncological nature;
  • complications caused by surgical interventions;
  • consequences of injury and damage.

In such cases, the nature of the discharge may be different, which depends on the type of pathology and characteristics of the organism, the neglect of the disease. It is unrealistic to independently determine the type of deviation. A thorough diagnosis will be required, which will help the doctor assess the patient's condition and choose an effective treatment.

It is advisable not to take any medications, especially antibiotics, before visiting a doctor and making a diagnosis. This would cloud the clinical picture and will not allow to establish the correct diagnosis and prescribe the appropriate treatment.

Hygiene and drainage

We should also dwell on smegma. This is natural selection. However, in some cases, it can be accompanied by an unnatural odor. This lubrication is produced by the fat glands located in the head and foreskin.

Indeed, smegma is a fat that, in the absence of timely and high-quality hygiene procedures, accumulates and causes the appearance of unnatural odors. The danger is caused not by the smegma itself, but by its accumulation. In the absence of hygienic procedures, a favorable environment is created for the reproduction of microbes and the development of inflammatory processes.

The problem of the abundant synthesis of such a lubricant is especially urgent for men aged 16-25, when sexual activity has the highest characteristics. With age, the volume of such secretions decreases. When a man washes his penis twice a day, the smegma is completely removed, and no unnatural whitish plaque is observed during an erection. If necessary, you can use an antibacterial soap to remove the smegma.

Often, the accumulation of a whitish plaque with a pungent odor is attributed by a man to the release of smegma, while the real cause can be associated with thrush or gonorrhea, chdamidiosis.

It is quite dangerous to ignore any discharge that differs from normal. Since they can be associated with diseases that require immediate treatment and pose a threat to the reproductive system of an irreversible nature.
