The secretion of male genital organs can explain his male health status and whether there is genitourinary system disease. Usually, discharge is one of the only symptoms or symptoms of serious diseases, so you need to be very careful to observe changes in color, smell, consistency, etc.
Male genital secretions refer to all secretions from the urethra, sebaceous and skin glands, prostate ducts and ejaculatory ducts.
According to the nature of their occurrence, they are divided into physiological and pathological.
The latter is the result of the development of infectious, inflammatory or other diseases of the prostate, bladder or other genitourinary system organs.
Urethral leak
In most cases, the transparent discharge of men is libido or physiological urethral discharge. This is the secret of the transparent color secreted by the urethral glands. The secret drains from the urethra, usually during awakening. The purpose of secretions is to lubricate the catheter before passing the sperm.
The amount of urethral discharge excreted can be insignificant or very abundant. It depends on the duration of abstinence and the personal characteristics of the man. After a long period of abstinence, a small amount of sperm may be excreted with the urethra, thereby changing the color.
It is worth noting that if the secretion is more than usual, you need to consult a doctor, because this phenomenon may indicate the development of the disease.
Smegma
Scalp smegma, also called foreskin lubricant, is secreted by glands located on the foreskin. The secret purpose is to reduce the friction between the glans and foreskin. Smegma continues to stand out. In adolescence, it may be more, to old age-less.
The smegma is composed of fat and bacteria. It accumulates under the inner layer of the foreskin. If you follow daily hygiene procedures, this secret can easily be washed away.
As a result, it changes the color from white transparent to yellow or green. An unpleasant smell appears.
sperm
Sperm refers to the physiological secretions of the male reproductive organs. Sperm is usually a mixture of gonads and sperm secretions, which are secreted during sexual intercourse or masturbation.
Although men also face involuntary sperm secretion, this is the so-called dream weirdness. In most cases, they occur in adolescent boys or boys who have been abstinent for a long time.
Involuntary ejaculation occurs at night or in the morning because it is related to the production of testosterone.
Men’s natural secretions also include urine (the color can be clear, yellow or light brown) and prostate secretions. The special smell of sperm helps to distinguish prostate fluid.
The discharge is thick and white.
Changes in the amount, color, and smell of secretions, and the appearance of turbidity or mucus may be the first symptoms of prostatitis or cancer.
The secretions of males when they are excited are secreted by the gonads.
- Cooper's glands. They are located above the bulb of the corpus cavernosum of the male penis. This is a pair of spherical organs. It is impossible to palpate (feel) these glands unless they are inflamed and enlarged. Cooper’s glands have excretory tubes leading to the urethra. It is there that they secrete their secrets when they are sexually aroused. This is due to the contraction of the perineal muscles.
- Littre's glands. Small glands all over the urethra. Both men and women can use it. Designed to moisturize the urethra and maintain the alkaline reaction in it. In some men, these glands do not exist, which is not pathological because it does not significantly affect sexual and reproductive functions.
Different men release different volumes of fluid when they are awakened. It depends on many factors:
- The activity of the gonads;
- Man's age
- The degree of sexual arousal;
- Duration of sexual arousal;
- Plan the abstinence time before sexual intercourse.
Some men have no secretions at all when they are awakened. In other sexually strong members, up to 5 ml of preliquid may be observed in the short period of time before intercourse.
Erection is accompanied by the release of mucus pre-ejection that is directly discharged through ejaculation, and there may also be a small amount of secretions produced by the glands next to the glans, smegma.
Physiological criteria depend on the nature and quantity of secretions, their physical indicators, and the absence of pain and unpleasant sensations in the urethra and penis head.
- Before ejaculation-colorless, transparent, almost odorless, medium consistency. Its discharge is not painful, does not cause discomfort, and does not interfere with sexual intercourse. The amount of jelly-like mucus directly depends on the degree of sexual excitement. The more lubricant that exists before the intimacy begins, the stronger the erection and the brighter the sensation during orgasm.
- Sperm is a product produced by the gonads and is usually secreted at the peak of erection. Contains sperm, protein structure, and biologically active substances. Generally, the color ranges from white to milky white, the consistency is moderate, and it has a specific smell. The number depends to a large extent on the nature of the male’s diet, the degree of sexual activity and the frequency of intimate contact. Sperm is discharged from the urethra during ejaculation, and the advancement of sperm promotes the presence of lubrication. After ejaculation, the erection weakens and disappears under normal circumstances.
- The smegma is constantly secreted and accumulated in the folds covering the glans, so all secretions-lubricants, urine and male sperm contain small amounts of smegma. It is a fat-like substance, white in color and quite thick in appearance. The release of smegma will increase when wearing tight underwear, rare water procedures, and nutritional errors. It is a habitat and breeding ground for bacteria, so it must be removed regularly. Under personal hygiene conditions, smegma is almost invisible and will not cause discomfort to men. During erection, it enters lubricant and semen, changing their color and consistency.
Under normal circumstances, all secretions during erection are physiological and will not cause inconvenience, nor will it cause men to pay attention to appearance, color, smell and quantity. When structures with atypical characteristics begin to stand out, problems arise.
A person can independently assess the degree of correspondence between secretions during awakening and the occurrence of erection. The main evaluation criteria are no strong unpleasant smell and impurities, transparent or whitish color tone, and medium density.
There is a slight deviation from the normal situation. It should also be considered that the nature of normal secretions depends on the frequency of sexual intercourse. There is little connection, and the secretion will increase. The standard of fluid release depends on the degree of arousal and also on individual characteristics.
The pungent smell of erectile discharge does not always indicate disease. Eating salty, smoked, and spicy foods can lead to changes. The existence of male bad habits will reduce the amount of fluid released during erection, and will also worsen biochemical and biological indicators.
Parents of teenagers should prepare future men for the fact that at this age, nocturnal erections and discharge will begin, accompanied by secretions. This is normal and should not cause anxiety or fear, and has nothing to do with the guy's taboo behavior.
The amount of fluid that a person should release in an excited state is different. The physiological functions of the body have a great influence. If they take care of themselves often, everyone knows their yardstick. But if the amount and nature of mucus changes, it is important to see a doctor. Only by finding out the cause in time can the problem be avoided. In most cases, this change is a sign of pathology, but there are exceptions.
If a man has not had sexual intercourse for a long time, the discharge during erection will increase significantly. In addition, they become thicker than usual. And it looks a little dark. In this case, it is important that there is no yellow tint and blood elements. Men’s secret norms during sexual arousal should conform to the following characteristics:
- Transparent water color;
- No obvious unpleasant smell;
- Medium density.
It is important to consider that this male secretion is affected by lifestyle and physical diseases. If a gentleman is not close to a woman for a long time, it will definitely affect his choice. Bad habits and eating habits are also risk factors. Constant stress and emotional breakdown can lead to a weakened immune system and a weakened body.
Sometimes, a strong arousal of penile secretions can cause bowel movements. From a physiological point of view, this is the norm. But this situation shouldn't happen often.
The natural response to non-compliance with privacy is the appearance of smegma. This particular type of discharge occurs in the skin folds near the head of the male penis. Usually smegma causes inflammation or infection.
Why does mucus form
Under normal circumstances, the secretion of men during erection is related to the formation and release of pre-ejaculation-a small amount of transparent viscous liquid. This has nothing to do with premature ejaculation. The purpose of lubricants is to neutralize the acidic environment of the urethra and vagina.
Nature stipulates that the purpose of sexual intercourse is the process of fertilization, and the normal movement and maintenance of sperm cells require certain conditions. The distribution of transparent secrets is to create the best environment. Pre-ejaculation contains a small amount of sperm and should be considered to prevent unintended pregnancy.
Mucus is secreted when erecting with a partner during foreplay, accompanied by spontaneous night and morning excitement and masturbation. The second purpose of ejaculation is to lubricate the mucous membrane of the urethra to facilitate the release and passage of sperm, so that the ejaculation process will not be accompanied by unpleasant and painful feelings.
Therefore, it is absolutely normal to discharge a small amount of moderately viscous and completely transparent mucus during erection, indicating that the genitourinary system is functioning normally and the level of effectiveness is good.
The role of male lubricants
- An alkaline reaction occurs in the urethra. Urine is acidic. Like genital fluid, it also passes through the urethra. But the acidic environment is harmful to sperm. Therefore, before sexual intercourse, the pre-ejaculate is secreted into the urethra, and the urethra is alkaline.
- Create an alkaline environment in the vagina. Male secretions observed during sexual intercourse enter the female reproductive tract. There, male lubrication provides the most favorable conditions for subsequent sperm passage.
- Promote the penis into the vagina. Male secretions have the same function as female lubricants. It allows you to avoid trauma to the mucous membrane of the genital tract during sexual intercourse.
Pathological secretions
Men should be alert to the appearance of abnormal secretions:
- Color changes, the formation of shades of green, yellow, and dirty gray may indicate the presence of pathogenic bacteria;
- The appearance of lumps, grit, and white flaky clots indicate possible sexually transmitted diseases;
- Blood in urine or semen is a bad sign and may indicate injury or cancer progression;
- Pus impurities absolutely and accurately indicate the inflammatory process of the genitourinary system;
- Pain, burning, discomfort, unpleasant odor and itching will be detected in the case of skin damage and infection and non-compliance with basic personal hygiene;
- Increased discomfort during urination is usually related to the development of a wide range of inflammatory processes.
It is risky to search for the cause of changes in the composition of penile secretions. Men need to see a doctor as soon as possible to make a thorough diagnosis and eliminate the root cause of the problem. It is forbidden to start taking drugs, especially antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs, to eliminate symptoms.
What if there is too much discharge?
First of all, you should make sure that this is exactly before ejaculation. The liquid must be:
- Completely transparent
- Tasteless
- No pus and blood impurities.
If secretions have recently appeared, or their number has increased sharply recently, this may indicate an inflammatory process in the genitals. Don't wait for other symptoms to appear-many genital infections have a subclinical course and no obvious subjective symptoms. You should consult your doctor and remove the swab from your urethra for sexually transmitted infections.
There are also some herbal preparations that show similar activity to 5-α reductase. The most commonly used dwarf palm extract. Many medicines in pharmacies contain this ingredient.
Will you get infected?
There is a view that only when sexual intercourse ends with female vaginal ejaculation, it is possible to infect male sexually transmitted diseases. In fact, some pathogens have the highest concentration in semen (for example, HIV). However, most microorganisms live in the male urethra and therefore can enter the female vagina, even if the sexual intercourse does not end with ejaculation.
The secretions of men when they are excited also contain infectious factor cells. First, because they pass through the bacterial urethra. Second, the gland itself may be involved in the inflammatory process. Littre's glands are almost always affected in gonorrhea. Cooper's glands are also often targeted by pathogenic microorganisms.
in conclusion
The presence of normal secretions at the beginning of a male erection is an indicator of health. It is important to understand the limits of the specification. If there is an alarming deviation, please seek medical attention in time. Under no circumstances should you self-medicate.
There might be pregnant?
You can't get pregnant because of male lubrication. It contains no sperm. Even if there is a single sperm cell in it, it will not cause pregnancy. To become pregnant, the biological fluid that a man secretes in the vagina must contain at least 40 million sperm.
The one exception is a man who has had sex recently. Then some sperm may remain in his reproductive tract. She can enter the vagina before ejaculation and push the sperm during the next sexual intercourse.
If a man experiences little pleasure during ejaculation, his destructive orgasm is also dangerous. In this case, pre-ejaculation may be confused with ejaculation, leading to unintended pregnancy. However, from this perspective, the secretions observed by men during arousal before ejaculation are not inherently dangerous.
