Men, just like women, are very susceptible to diseases of the genital area, and therefore must carefully monitor their well-being, paying special attention to the discharge from the urethra at the time of sexual arousal. Because it is in this state that the secret from the penis begins to appear, by the nature of which the health of men can be judged. And which discharge during arousal in men is natural, and which signals pathologies, you will now find out.
What is considered the norm?
To have an idea of which discharge from the penis indicates the development of various diseases, you must first understand which of them is normal. And they are:
- Libidal urethrosis. This is the name of a clear liquid without a specific odor, which occurs at the time of sexual arousal and serves as a lubricant. At the same time, the clear fluid from the penis is released in very small amounts and does not cause any discomfort to the man. The lubricating secretion contains some sperm, which are also motile and easily penetrate the partner's vagina, which can cause her to become pregnant. For this reason, those who do not want to have children in the near future are advised to use condoms (only if the woman does not take OK) from the very beginning of sexual intercourse, and not at the end of intercourse, as many as there are until.
- Sperm. It has a slimy consistency and white color, does not differ in specific smell and begins to protrude from the urethra only when the maximum peak of arousal is reached. It contains a high percentage of motile sperm and a secretion produced by the gonads. If this fluid enters a woman's vagina during ovulation (occurs in the middle of the menstrual cycle), the probability of conceiving a child is 80-90%, even if a little ejaculate is released at the end of sex. It is worth noting that some men associate this phenomenon with pathologies, but this is not the case. If other symptoms do not bother, then this phenomenon is most often associated with the physiological characteristics of the body.
- Smegma. It is a secret produced by the gonads located near the head of the penis. It may have a yellowish or whitish tinge, and may emit an unpleasant odor. Accumulation of smegma in the area of the penis is not a pathology, but indicates an insufficient observance of the rules of personal hygiene.
All these secretions with strong sexual arousal are the absolute norm. However, if they are accompanied by other symptoms (pain in the head of the penis or groin, itching, hyperemia, specific odor, etc. ), this already indicates deviations that require an urgent visit to the doctor and examination.
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 impurities of blood or pus? Of course, do not sit down and see a doctor as soon as possible. After all, the presence of unnatural impurities in the secretion secreted from the penis always speaks of the development of pathologies.
When discussing why a specific discharge can occur in men from the urethral canal, it is necessary to mention the following pathologies accompanied by a similar symptom:
- Inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system provoked by various pathogenic microorganisms.
- Oncological diseases.
- STDs.
- Complications of an inflammatory nature that occur after an injury during a stroke or surgery.
Most fear and fear for their health in men occurs in those situations when they record the discharge of blood from the urethral canal during ejaculation. And the reason why blood flows from the penis is most often oncological diseases that affect the prostate, testicles or sperm. But in this case there are other symptoms characteristic of these diseases:
- Pain when urinating.
- Urine colored red.
- Temperature increase.
- Mucous clots may come out of the urethra (observed in the later stages of pathology development).
Bitan! Cancer is a dangerous disease that can be deadly. And therefore in no case should his treatment be delayed. Most often, its development in men occurs in the background of the formed prostate adenoma, which did not respond to adequate treatment.
If a sticky transparent secretion, of viscous consistency, which emits an unpleasant odor, begins to leak through the urethra, this indicates the development of infectious diseases that are 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 huge number of leukocytes, which makes them viscous. Thus, impurities of manure can be observed in their composition, which already indicates a complicated course of these diseases. If there is no pus, this is not a reason to delay treatment, as such diseases can cause the development of phimosis. This condition is characterized by the adhesion of the foreskin to the glans penis and can only be removed by surgery.
The cause of pathological discharge from the urethral canal in men can be other infectious diseases, the development of which also requires immediate medical attention. Among them is the defeat of paired genitals (testicles) or urethra from fungi, staphylococci, streptococci, etc. Moreover, they can be disturbed by itching in the perineum, swelling of the scrotum or glans penis and hyperemia.
Diseases such as:
- balanoposthitis;
- non-gonorrheal urethritis;
- prostatitis;
- hemorrhoids;
- spermatorrhoea.
In addition to these pathologies, blood secretion can also be released from the urethra of the penis, which is complemented by pain in the groin, head of the penis, and scrotum. Weakness, fever, and difficulty urinating are often seen with their development.
What to do?
If a man, during sexual excitability, noticed a discharge from the urethra unusual for him exudate, you should immediately visit a doctor to help determine the exact cause of its occurrence. For this purpose, as a rule, a number of diagnostic measures are prescribed, which include:
- Urethral swab for bacterial culture.
- Spermogram.
- Examination by a proctologist.
- General analysis of urine and blood.
- Ultrasound of the pelvic organs, etc.
As soon as the doctor determines the cause of the pathological discharge, he prescribes treatment that can reduce the manifestations of the disease and prevent the development of complications in the background.
If a man does not visit a doctor and does not go through the entire course of treatment, it can lead to disease progression 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 cause the opening of bleeding, which can cause a man to die suddenly. And to prevent this, when a pathological discharge appears, it is necessary to postpone sexual intercourse and be sure to visit a doctor. Only in this way will there be a chance to avoid the development of serious complications and preserve your male health for many years to come.
