For the continuation of the human race, the ability of a man to transfer his seed to a woman plays a huge role. Therefore, it is very important for him to take care of his health and male strength. Indicators of the condition of the genitals are secretions from the penis.
They, like alarm bells, indicate normal internal processes or pathology. Ejaculation in men during arousal deserves special attention. At this point, a small amount of fluid comes out of the penis.
The density, volume, shade and presence of smell indicate the state of the male reproductive organs.
Each person should know where the boundaries of the norm end and the pathological manifestations begin, in order to take timely measures to eliminate health problems.
The emergence of a natural secret
For successful reproduction, it is important to secrete a special fluid from the duct of the male organ during arousal. It is she who promotes the advancement of spermatozoa to the female cell for fertilization.
Once sperm enter the vagina, there are many obstacles in their path. First of all, it is an acidic environment in which most male cells die. Only the secretion formed during an erection helps reduce acidity.
Thus, the male cells have a chance to survive and achieve the main goal.

Usually, the male secret is absolutely transparent in color, without an unpleasant smell and in a small amount. The consistency of medium density is considered normal.
The appearance of secretion occurs not only during sexual arousal, but also in the morning, when the organ is in a state of erection. In addition, a liquid secretion appears with gentle caresses with a beloved woman. This is how the body prepares for intimacy.
Depending on the degree of excitement, the mucus has a different volume. With strong sexual desire, more secretion appears. In addition, the individuality of the male body must be taken into account. The volume of liquid released can reach up to 5 mg.
In some cases - a few drops or none. A small amount of sperm is released along with the fluid. This is important to keep in mind for those planning a pregnancy. Interrupted sexual process is not always a guarantee of success.
Along with ejaculating when he is aroused, a man may have sperm that sometimes reach their target.
Useful tips
If a young man is concerned about copious discharge during sexual desire, you should immediately consult a doctor. A complete examination will help identify pathologies at an early stage of development.
The natural secretion that comes out of the penis during sexual activity is, of course, semen. It consists of sperm and the natural mucus of the male organ. It has a whitish color and a dense character. It comes out of the penis as a result of ejaculation.
Excretion rate within normal limits
The volume of fluid that should be released when a man is aroused varies. The physiology of the body has a lot to do with it. Everyone knows their limit if they take care of themselves regularly.
But if there is a change in the amount and nature of the mucus, it is important to see a doctor. By discovering the cause in time, it is really possible to avoid problems.
In most cases, such changes signal pathology, although there are exceptions.
If a man has not had sexual intercourse for a long time, the discharge during an erection increases significantly. In addition, they become thicker than usual. And in appearance - a little more cloudy. It is important that there is no yellow tint and blood elements. The rate of male secretion during arousal should correspond to the following characteristics:
- clear watery color;
- without a pronounced unpleasant smell;
- medium density.
It is important to keep in mind that such male discharge is affected by lifestyle and physical ailments. If a gentleman refrains from intimacy with a woman for a long time, this will certainly be reflected in the discharge. Bad habits and eating habits are also risk factors. Constant stress and emotional breakdowns lead to weakened immunity and weakness in the body.
Sometimes discharge from the penis with strong arousal leads to defecation. From a physiological point of view, this is normal. But the situation should not happen often.
It is important to know:
The secretion that comes out of the penis consists of sperm. If they are of poor quality or the man suffers from inflammation of the prostate gland, the secreted fluid changes color. At the same time, its smell and consistency should correspond to the norm.
A natural reaction to failure to observe intimate hygiene is the appearance of smegma. This special type of secretion appears in the folds of skin near the head of the male penis. Usually, smegma leads to inflammatory processes or infections.
In adolescence, during puberty, boys have nocturnal emissions. As a result of erotic dreams, strong excitement arises. This leads to an erection, followed by spontaneous ejaculation. Pollution for the stronger sex is a physiological norm.
Secret change as a signal of illness
Unfortunately, men are not immune to sexually transmitted diseases. And since the body is created amazingly, it is possible to determine the development of the infection from the secret secreted. Some diseases are detected only on this basis. Therefore, men should carefully monitor the change in the nature of their sexual secret.
Abnormal discharge during erection often indicates such changes:
- inflammation of the urinary tract, which is caused by the reproduction of pathological microorganisms;
- infections transmitted through intimate relations;
- malignant formations;
- postoperative problems;
- urinary tract injuries.
Depending on the degree of the disease, the discharge from the penis is abundant or scanty. In addition, pus or blood elements enter the clear fluid from the hole on the head of the penis. In this case, a change in color and density occurs.
A viscous, colorless secret that appears in young people during sexual excitement often signals the presence of a pathological infection. In case of serious complications, pus appears in it, which collects on the head of the penis and sticks to the foreskin.
Various infectious infections manifest themselves not only in changing the male secret. They are accompanied by a feeling of itching of the penis and its swelling. The reasons for the changes are such pathologies:
- space;
- balanoposthitis;
- hematuria;
- non-gonococcal urethritis.
If a man notices obvious changes in the fluid that occur during arousal, he should immediately consult a doctor. It is important to identify the disease at an early stage of development to avoid complications.
A clear signal of danger is changes in the secretion of venereal diseases. If the discharge becomes mucus, it contains many leukocytes. The appearance of pus indicates the development of trichomoniasis or ureaplasmosis. Thick and sticky discharge with a greenish color that smells unpleasant indicates gonorrhea.
In order to respond in time to the appearance of an infection, men are advised to regularly monitor their secretions. This also applies to the relaxed state of the penis and during sexual arousal. Regular visits to a urologist for a preventive examination serve as a reliable defense for his male strength.
Transparent discharge from the penis - is it dangerous?
Lovers of young heroes and experienced men - all of them at least once faced such a phenomenon as transparent discharge from the penis.
It is believed that the variety of secretions from the genital organs is the prerogative of the female reproductive system, but this is far from the case.
In men, there are also organs and tissues that produce liquid secretions, which under certain conditions can be superfluous - hence the appearance of small droplets in the external opening of the urethra.
Clear discharge from the penis is most often observed in men. They are not always a manifestation of pathological processes, but invariably make men worry about their health. Reasons for withdrawal can vary. Below we will consider the most common of them.
Norm or pathology?
The male reproductive system differs from the female in that almost all of its elements are located externally. This allows you to notice any changes in the early stages - almost immediately after they appear. Clear discharge in men is divided into two categories:
- physiological - formed during normal processes in the male reproductive system under the influence of beneficial microflora;
- pathological - formed as a result of the settlement of the genitourinary system by pathogenic microflora.
Discharge may indicate an illness that can be confirmed by a specialist
In the first case, transparent discharge from the penis is not dangerous. And with the second, there is a danger of losing not only part of the sexual power, but also the functions of other organs and systems.
Diseases of the male reproductive system of infectious origin are vainly considered innocent "wounds" that can be treated on a case-by-case basis. Many STIs have a direct negative impact on the central nervous system and the musculoskeletal system.
Immediately after the discovery of suspicious symptoms, it is important for a man to try to determine on his own whether the transparent discharge from the penis is dangerous in his case. It is quite difficult to do this without special education, but there are a number of signs by which dangerous diseases can be identified.
When it comes to physiology
There are several phenomena that are absolutely safe for the health of the male reproductive system, during which a transparent secretion can flow from the penis. They include:
- Physiological urethrhoea is a process in which there is a burst of secretion synthesis in the male urethra. This phenomenon usually occurs in the morning when the bladder is full. Urethral discharge and urine are found as part of the discharge.
- Libidinous urethrhoea is a process that occurs against the background of a morning erection. In addition to urethral secretions, the composition of the secretions may include prostate secretions and spermatozoa.
- Defecation protoria is a process that occurs against the background of increased tension during defecation. During this, the feces actively press the prostate, from which secretion is released. It is he who forms the basis of the transparent secretion from the penis.
The male reproductive system is designed in such a way that during its normal functioning, a transparent secretion may appear.
It is very easy to understand that there are no health problems in this case. When discharge occurs, the man either wants to use the toilet, has just left it, or is experiencing a morning erection.
When the reason for the discharge is illness
The situation is slightly different with pathological secretions. They are found in diseases such as gonorrhea and trichomoniasis, ureaplasmosis and mycoplasmosis. Unlike the physiological secretions described above, they appear at any time of the day - they have no attachment to physiological processes. In addition, such discharges are accompanied by a specific set of symptoms, including:
If discharge from the penis is a symptom of the disease, you cannot do without the help of a doctor.
Similar signs are characteristic of urethritis, the cause of which is a specific or non-specific genital infection. Also, discomfort of this type can occur after an examination by a urologist or venereologist. If the man has not seen a doctor and the transparent discharge from the penis is combined with the described clinical picture, it is most likely genital infections.
What to do with the appearance of pathological discharge
If a man has an unfavorable transparent discharge from the penis with a specific smell, treatment should begin immediately. Often men try to avoid visiting a doctor. It is not recommended to do this - attempts to eliminate the problem yourself can lead to the transition of a sexually transmitted disease into a chronic form.
It is possible to completely eliminate problems with the reproductive system only with the help of a specialist.
First of all, you should make an appointment with a urologist or dermatovenerologist. Already during an external examination, he can make a preliminary diagnosis and give recommendations for the treatment of the disease. In addition, recommendations will be issued for the following types of analysis:
Top article: How are urethral swabs taken in men? If there are signs of damage to the testicles, bladder, prostate and other organs, urography, MRI or CT may be necessary.
After clarifying the diagnosis, a complex treatment will be prescribed - the secretion from the penis will be gradually removed. During the therapy, the man is recommended to observe personal hygiene, as well as sexual abstinence. Almost always, the doctor recommends that the patient's sexual partners undergo examination and subsequent treatment.
Antibiotics are the main treatment for clear penile discharge. Their choice depends on the name of the identified microorganisms and their sensitivity to drugs. In addition, doctors may recommend that men change their diet.
What clear mucus is released in men during arousal?
The process of arousal in a man is related to the passage of the penis into an erect state, which is the key to successful intercourse. Separation from the penis during erection is considered a physiological norm and is necessary to create a favorable environment for the release of sperm.
In some cases, the change in the nature of the mucus and the appearance of atypical signs indicate disorders in the genitourinary system and may be associated with diseases.
At the peak of arousal, a small amount of fluid is released from the urethra. Pre-ejaculate comes out of the urethra in almost all healthy men, this is normal. You should panic if its amount, color or consistency has changed. Let's find out what stands out in men when they are excited.
Why do men crush?
Many people know that the woman literally overflows with excitement. It secretes a natural lubricant that helps prevent cracks in the vaginal mucosa during intercourse. In men, nature has foreseen a similar mechanism - at the moment of complete excitement, a few drops of lubricant appear from the urethra.
It performs several functions:
- suppresses the acidic environment in the urethra;
- moistens her ducts, preparing for the passage of sperm;
- prepares the urethra for the free flow of seminal fluid;
- destroys bacteria.
Precum is released in a small amount, not enough to lubricate the penis for better sliding into the vagina. Therefore, in the absence of a sufficient amount of discharge from a woman, use lubricants.
A preejaculant increases a man's ability to conceive. It is a component of semen that increases the resistance of spermatozoa to the acidic environment of the vagina. If Littre and bulbourethral glands do not secrete enough of this fluid, then the person's chance of conceiving a child is reduced.
What are normal secretions?
The amount of lubricant released directly depends on the degree of arousal of the man. If the sexual desire is strong, then its maximum amount comes out of the urethra. Usually the liquid is very little - about 5 ml.
It is necessary to understand what healthy pre-seminal fluid looks like, what it is:
- transparent;
- without smell;
- without lumps and other inclusions;
- viscous;
- released without pain or discomfort.
The consistency of the lubricant may change. With repeated sexual contact, before ejaculation or insufficient hygiene, it becomes cloudy and more viscous. After 1-2 days, the appearance of fluid in a healthy man normalizes.
When is a discharge considered abnormal?
If you notice that the lubricant from the penis has changed its consistency or smell, then the reason for this may be the activity of pathogenic bacteria. This process is usually accompanied by symptoms:
- discharge from the urethra occurs during the day, regardless of excitement;
- pain when urinating;
- unpleasant smell from underwear or the liquid itself;
- the formation of mucus in large quantities;
- yellowish or greenish preejaculate;
- inclusions of third parties in the lubricant - clots, blood or others;
- change in consistency to thicker or runny.
If you notice such changes, you should immediately contact a urologist, as this may be a sign of a developing infection.
Classification of pathological secretions
According to the composition of the selection, they are divided into several types:
- Mucopurulent: consists of the secretion of the glands of the reproductive system, a small number of leukocytes and serous fluid. This type of liquid is most often formed at night, yellow spots appear on underwear, and pus is released before morning urination. The reason for the changes is the activity of bacteria: ureamycoplasma, chlamydia, trichomonas.
- Purulent: consists of urethral epithelial cells, leukocytes and serous fluid. They have a strong smell and a thick consistency, they come out in drops that remain on the underwear. Such discharge from the penis is characteristic of gonococcal urethritis, which occurs against the background of gonorrhea and chlamydia.
- Hematorrhea: drops of blood appear in the lubricant. They indicate an injury to the lining of the urethra. Often this occurs after visiting a urologist and taking a smear for analysis or after installing a catheter for urine leakage.
- Spermatorrhea: A man ejaculates semen randomly. The process takes place against the background of reduced muscle tone of the vas deferens. The condition occurs with a chronic inflammatory process.
- Leukocytic urethrororrhea: leukocytes are present in the lubricant. They appear at the moment when the inflammatory process proceeds in the exudative phase. The causes of the condition are called damage to the urethral mucosa of one of the types: thermal, mechanical, chemical or viral.
The scarce discharge is hardly noticeable. They appear if you gently press the urethra. Such a lubricant in men dries quickly, forming a film on the head and blinding the lips of the urethra.
The main causes of the pathology
The first thing a person is checked for with pathological discharge is sexually transmitted diseases. They are more likely to lead to urinary tract infections. A venereologist or urologist can make an accurate diagnosis after an examination, receiving the results of pathological fluid samples and several tests.
Venereal disease
Sexually transmitted diseases develop against the background of unfavorable microflora. It settles on the walls of the urethra, enters the glands and organs of the genitourinary system. Reproduction of pathogens leads to their spread in the body, the appearance of symptoms.
Diseases can be caused by pathogens:
| A type of microorganism | The diseases it causes |
|---|---|
| bacteria | gonorrhea; syphilis; mycoplasmosis; lymphogranuloma; inguinal granuloma; ureaplasmosis; chlamydia; chancroid. |
| Viruses | molluscum contagiosum; HIV; herpes; most strains of human papillomavirus; condylomas. |
| fungi | candidiasis (thrush). |
| parasites | Phthiriasis; scabies. |
It is necessary to determine the type of pathogen in order to prescribe the correct treatment. The symptoms of the diseases can be similar, which is why therapy cannot be started without an examination and laboratory tests.
Self-medication or incorrectly chosen drugs lead to the fact that the disease becomes chronic. It will be difficult to get rid of it completely.
Other reasons
If you don't have STDs, then you should be looking for a problem in the reproductive system. most often problems arise with prostatitis. With it, instead of a pre-ejaculate, prostatic secretion can be released in large quantities.
It is similar to the lubricant that appears at the moment of arousal. The inflammatory process increases the amount of secretion produced by the gland as the body tries to maintain its reproductive function.
The liquid helps preserve the functions of the sperm.
Causes of excessive shedding can be:
- inflammatory processes occurring in the reproductive system;
- hypothermia of the body;
- alergic reaction;
- penile injury, chemical or physical.
The clear mucus from the urethra also performs protective functions. Periodically, the body produces it in large quantities to restore the lining of the urethra. This happens after probing, taking a smear for analysis or installing a catheter.
An increase in clear discharge during ejaculation is a symptom of infertility. Do not let everything go its way, see a doctor to get rid of the pathological process.
How is diagnosis and treatment performed?
Hypersecretion can be a problem for men. With it, the underwear becomes dirty, unpleasant sensations arise and a plaque forms on the head. If you encounter this problem, you should urgently contact a urologist. He will determine the cause of the increase in secretions and talk about ways to help get rid of them.
A healthy man should see a doctor every 6 months for preventive purposes. Do not hide existing problems at the reception, as this can lead to complications.
The diagnosis of changes in the nature of the discharge is carried out according to the general plan:
- Urinalysis;
- blood test for sugar, infections;
- spread.
The liquid itself should be visually examined, after which its biological composition should be determined. To do this, the doctor can, during the examination, slightly press the head to remove it from the urethra. A drop of liquid is applied to the glass and taken to the laboratory.
If the etymology of the man's condition is not clear, then additional tests may be prescribed: special urine tests, radiography, ultrasound of the prostate. They help clarify the diagnosis, find the cause of the changes.
When the volume of excretion in men increases during arousal, you should not drink antifungal agents or antibiotics, considering this condition as a sexually transmitted disease. The drugs taken will blur the clinical picture and it will be more difficult for the doctor to make a true diagnosis. Only a urologist can prescribe a course of treatment and give recommendations after examination and examination.
Can you get pregnant from a pre-ejaculate?
It has been medically proven that male lubricant contains a low sperm count. For conception, it is enough for only one of them to reach the egg. Therefore, it is recommended to use a condom from the very beginning of the frictions. Otherwise, there is a high probability that you will get pregnant even with interrupted intercourse or if you are protected only before ejaculation.
With repeated intercourse, the number of sperm in the lubricant increases, so you should use a condom from the beginning. If you do not want to use it, before the second contact, wash the remaining seminal fluid from the glans thoroughly and urinate.
There is a high probability of conception in the middle of a woman's cycle, because at this time ovulation occurs and the wall of the uterus opens. Sperm during this period, even without the nutrient medium of the seed, easily reach the egg.
In the remaining days of the cycle, they quickly die, since there is inappropriate acidity in the vagina.
