Precum(
Pre-ejaculation is inevitable during human intercourse.
This secretion is also released by the man during masturbation, in preparation for intercourse (eg petting) or in the early stages of copulation, some time before the man reaches full orgasm and ejaculates.
Preseminal fluid is formed mainly by the bulbourethral glands (Cooper's glands) as well as by the glands of Littre.
Littre's glands are an additional site for the formation of pre-seminal fluid. These are cluster-shaped tubular-alveolar glands of the urethra, located along its entire length, from the external opening to the neck of the bladder, in the submucosal, fibromuscular and connective tissue layers.
They secrete and secrete mucous fluid, the amount of which increases during sexual arousal.
Along with the secretion of Cooper's glands, the secretion of Littre's glands also serves to moisten the urethra, to maintain an alkaline reaction favorable to the spermatozoa during their passage through the urethra.
The amount of separated preejaculate.
The amount of pre-seminal fluid secreted by a man varies greatly among individuals. Some men produce no pre-seminal fluid, while others produce up to 5 ml. Preseeds contain a number of chemicals present in seeds, such as acid phosphatase. And some seminal fluid markers, such as gamma-glutamyltransferase, are completely absent in the foreskin.
A function performed by the preseed
The acidic environment of a man's urethra and a woman's vagina is hostile to a man's sperm. Pre-seminal fluid neutralizes residual acidity in the urethra caused by urine, thus creating a more favorable environment for sperm to pass through.
Normally, the vaginal environment is acidic; administration of pre-ejaculate may alter the vaginal environment to favor sperm survival. Pre-ejaculation can pick up sperm left in the urethra from previous ejaculations.
Pre-seminal fluid does not act as a lubricant during intercourse, but it facilitates the passage of sperm through the canal during ejaculation, and also participates in the coagulation of the seminal fluid.
Risks associated with the release of pre-seminal fluid
Studies have shown the presence of HIV in the majority of premenstrual samples from HIV-infected men. Infection with the immunodeficiency virus leads to HIV infection, the final stage of which is known as AIDS.
Many also express concern that the presence of sperm in pre-seminal fluid is impossible and therefore cannot cause pregnancy, using this fact against the use of interrupted coitus (penile withdrawal) as a method of preventing pregnancy.
No large-scale studies have been conducted to determine the sperm content of the premenclature, but a number of small studies suggest that sperm are present in the premenclature.
Increased formation of pre-seminal fluid
Some men are concerned about the amount of precum they produce. One physician described a patient who was confused by precum leaking through his pants during kissing and other mild erotic stimulation.
Several reports have shown satisfactory results when such men were treated with a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor.
In such cases, a doctor recommended a differential diagnosis of prostatorrhea, discharge of prostatic secretions during straining associated with urination or defecation.
Ejaculation during arousal in men is called preejaculate. It comes out of the opening of the urethra at the moment when the person is excited. The seminal fluid is secreted by the bulbourethral glands and the glands of Littre, which are located along the entire length of the duct, from the external opening to the bladder neck.
Discharges during arousal in men perform the following functions::
- ensure free passage of seminal fluid through the urethra;
- destroy bacteria;
- moisten and suppress the acidic environment in the urethra.
Precum can also act as a lubricant during intercourse, but in most cases the amount secreted will not be sufficient for this. Preejaculate is one of the components of semen. It enters the seminal fluid during ejaculation and mixes with the semen, which helps protect the sperm from the acidic environment of the female vagina.
Healthy preejaculate has the following characteristics:
- without smell;
- transparency;
- viscosity;
- absence of lumps or inclusions;
- does not cause unpleasant or painful sensations.
The pre-seed performs cleaning functions, so its consistency can be changed. A man may experience clouding of the lubricant during repeated intercourse, lack of hygiene or before ejaculation. It will return to normal in 1-2 days. Otherwise, the development of a pathogenic process should be suspected.
Symptoms indicating deviation of the lubricant from the norm:
- the appearance of fluid from the urethra during the day;
- the appearance of an unpleasant smell;
- pain when urinating;
- formation of an excessive amount of mucus;
- voluntary release of lubricant without sexual arousal;
- presence of third-party inclusions;
- change in consistency to too thick or runny.
These signs are characteristic of pathological processes indicating the development of diseases.
Unhealthy discharge in men is divided into types:
| spermatorrhoea | Random ejaculation of semen without reaching orgasm. The reason for the process is reduced muscle tone of the vas deferens. Pathology develops due to chronic inflammation |
| hematorrhea | Leaking lubricant mixed with blood. Appears with injuries of the urethral mucosa |
| Leukocytic urethrorrhea | The exudative phase of the inflammatory process as a result of thermal, mechanical, chemical or viral damage to the urethral mucosa |
| Mucopurulent | They consist of a small number of leukocytes, serous fluid and glandular secretions. This mucus is characterized by active formation at night. A person notices discharge of pus in the morning, and yellow spots can be found on his underwear. Mucopurulent discharge occurs when the urethra is damaged by bacteria: trichomonas, ureamycoplasma, chlamydia |
| Purulent | These include a large number of leukocytes, urethral epithelium, mucus and serous fluid. They have a thick consistency and an unpleasant smell. They appear in the form of drops with a yellow or greenish tint. Evidence for the development of gonococcal urethritis, which is formed against the background of chlamydia and gonorrhea |

The volume of mucus released can be copious or small. Bad lubrication can be quite difficult to spot. To do this, you need to press the urethra so that the liquid comes out of the opening. It dries quickly, forming a film on the membrane of the head of the penis. The viscous consistency causes the urethral fungi to stick together.
For the continuation of the human race, a man's ability to pass 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 are like alarm bells indicating normal internal processes or pathology. Separation in men during arousal deserves special attention. At this point, a small amount of fluid comes out of the penis.
The thickness, volume, shade and smell indicate the condition of the male reproductive organs.
The appearance of natural secretion
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 movement of sperm to the female cell for fertilization.
Once sperm enter the vagina, many obstacles appear in their path. First of all, it is an acidic environment in which most male cells die. It is the secretion formed during erection that helps reduce acidity.
Usually, male secretion is absolutely transparent in color, without an unpleasant smell and in small quantities. A medium thick consistency 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 discharge appears during gentle caresses with the woman you love. This is how the body prepares for intimacy.
Depending on the degree of excitement, the mucus can be of 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.
Along with discharge during arousal, a man may have sperm that sometimes achieves its goal.
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 release from sexual intercourse.
The discharge indicators are within normal limits
The volume of fluid that should be released when a man is aroused varies. The physiology of the body affects a lot. Everyone knows their limits 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 consult a doctor. By finding the cause in time, you can really 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 it looks a little cloudier. It is important that there is no yellow tint or blood elements. The norm of male secretion during arousal should correspond to the following characteristics:
- clear watery color;
- without a pronounced unpleasant smell;
- medium thickness.
It is important to keep in mind that such male discharge is affected by lifestyle and physical illness. If a gentleman refrains from intimacy with a woman for a long time, it will certainly affect 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 during intense arousal leads to defecation. From a physiological point of view, this is normal. But the situation should not happen often.
The secretion that comes out of the penis contains 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 poor intimate hygiene is the appearance of smegma. This special type of secretion appears in the folds of skin near the head of the male genital organ. Usually, smegma leads to inflammation or infection.
During adolescence, boys experience nocturnal emissions during puberty. As a result of erotic dreams, a strong arousal occurs. This leads to an erection, followed by voluntary ejaculation. Wet dreams for the stronger sex are a physiological norm.
Change in secretion as a signal of disease
Unfortunately, men are not immune to sexually transmitted diseases. And since the body is created amazingly, the development of an infection can be determined by the secreted secretion. Some diseases are detected only by this sign. That is why men should carefully monitor changes in the nature of their sexual secretion.
Abnormal discharge during erection often indicates the following changes:
- inflammation of the urinary tract, which is caused by the proliferation of pathological microorganisms;
- infections transmitted through intimate relations;
- malignant formations;
- postoperative problems;
- injuries of the genitourinary organs.
Depending on the degree of the disease, the discharge from the penis can be abundant or scanty. In addition, pus or blood elements enter the clear fluid from the hole on the head of the penis. This results in a change in color and thickness.
A viscous, colorless discharge that appears in young people during sexual arousal 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 are manifested not only in changes in male secretions. They are accompanied by a feeling of itching of the genital organ and its swelling. The reasons for the changes are the following pathologies:
- prostatorrhea;
- balanoposthitis;
- hematuria;
- non-gonorrheal urethritis.
If a person notices obvious changes in their fluid that occur during arousal, they should immediately consult a doctor. It is important to identify the disease at an early stage of development to avoid complications.
In order to react in time to the appearance of an infection, men are advised to regularly monitor their discharge. This applies both to the relaxed state of the penis and to sexual arousal. Regular visits to a urologist for preventive examinations serve as a reliable defense for his masculinity.
Ejaculation in men: normal or unusual?
Excretions from the human bodymeans a lot. Usually their presence indicates a state of health or some pathologies, development of diseases or infectious processes. In some cases, the discharge itself should be absent, for example, with a runny nose, it is obvious that the person is sick. It's the same with earwax.
In the case of the reproductive system, everything is a little more complicated - fluids leak from the genitals - their natural openings, which in some cases are normal, but in others will serve as one of the symptoms of the disease. And sometimes discharge from the penis is the only symptom of a developing serious illness.
It is impossible to accurately determine the cause and how normal the presence of the present current is in appearance. To confirm or refute the diagnosis, a laboratory test is always necessary, which requires a visit to a urologist. Only based on the results of the examination, the doctor determines the appropriate treatment.
The presence of discharge during sexual arousal deserves special attentionwhen a man has an erection and fluid begins to flow from the urethral opening. It is important to pay attention to its consistency, smell, quantity, color. Let's consider in what cases you should be afraid for your own health if a discharge appears during sexual arousal.
Physiological discharge during arousal
Libido urethrorhoea- This is a secret secreted by the gonads. It occurs in all men during arousal. The amount of secretion is small and can be formed during sexual intercourse. In some cases, the secretion is released in large quantities.
Norm or deviation?
How to determine if a normal amount of secretion is released during arousal? The physiology of all men may be different, and there is no secret in volume standards. However, if one notices thatwithout reason, the volume of the liquid increased, the consistency, smell and color changed, this is a signal of the presence of infection, inflammation, problems with the genitals, etc.
There may be exceptions to this situation. So, if a man has not had intercourse for a long time, the secretion increases in volume. It may be a little thicker, more cloudy, but it should not have a yellowish tint, blood streaks or other changes. Maximum - little cloudiness.
A normal secret should have the following characteristics:
- no unpleasant smell;
- transparent color;
- medium thick consistency.
Factors that can affect secretion characteristics:
- diseases;
- nutritional characteristics (consumed foods);
- abstinence from sexual activity;
- stress and bad lifestyle, weakened immunity.
In some cases, discharge during arousal provokes the act of defecation. From a physiological point of view, this process is considered normal, although its formation should be rare.
Smegma- another type of discharge that is formed during excitement. If hygiene is not observed, a substance can form in the folds of the skin of the penis. If this process occurs, the chance of developing inflammation and infections increases.
Semen must also have a certain consistency, smell and color. However, its features and characteristics may depend on individual characteristics. It is first released from the penis during the body during intercourse or masturbation.
During wet sleep, semen is also released.A wet dream– a condition in which a man experiences erection, arousal and ejaculation during sleep. Wet dreams usually occur in teenagers during puberty.
What pathologies can they be:
- as a result of a change in one's own pathogenic flora (it is not dangerous, but requires medical supervision, since there is an increased risk of developing diseases and inflammation against the background of an increased number of bacteria and pathogenic microorganisms);
- sexually transmitted infections;
- tumors, cancers - oncological processes;
- result of injury, penile distortion or other physiological acquired or congenital disorders;
- consequences of surgical intervention (require a special approach and more careful monitoring).
| Classification criterion | Characteristic |
| By distribution volume it can be: |
|
| By accent color: |
|
| By consistency: | |
| Frequency of occurrence of discharge: |
|
The severity of the discharge and symptoms uncharacteristic of the normal state of discharge are influenced by the following factors::
- cause (disease, infection, inflammation, etc. );
- severity (degree of disease development);
- immunity;
- concomitant diseases;
- the duration of the cause of the disease.
It is important to understand that the disease cannot be accurately determined by the symptoms of the discharge. The results and treatment can only be discussed after an accurate diagnosis has been made..
Freedom from sexually transmitted diseases
With sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), the nature of discharge changes. Let's consider the main diseases in which these changes occur, depending on the nature of the discharge from the penis during arousal.
Discharge of mucus
This is a sign of the following diseases:
- chlamydia;
- mycoplasmosis;
- ureaplasmosis.
At the same time, the consistency is liquid, but it seems to stretch, reminiscent of mucus. The color is transparent, practically no different from the norm.
Mucous discharge with purulent streaks
The color in this case is white, but not transparent. It has a milky hue. Leukocytes can also be recorded in the composition.
Diseases can be the following with this type of discharge:
- trichomoniasis;
- chlamydia;
- ureaplasmosis.
In some cases, the discharge is formed not only during excitement, but also in a calm state. The liquid seems to stick to the head of the penis and dries quickly.
Purulent discharge
In this case, the consistency is thick, sticky, opaque liquid, yellowish, sometimes with a greenish tint. It has an unpleasant smell. Mucus contains many leukocytes. Usually in this case we are talking about gonorrhea.

Release during inflammation
If the man does not have sexually transmitted diseases, we are talking about an inflammatory process or, more precisely, about its possible presence in the body.
The causes can be the following:
- streptococcus;
- candida;
- cars;
- staphylococci
Nongonorrheal urethritis
An inflammatory process in the urethra, a channel through which fluid passes. In this case, the nature of the selection can be the following:
- presence of mucus;
- presence of pus;
- stickiness;
- turbidity.
In this case, there is pain, itching and discomfort.
Balanoposthitis
In this case, the discharge contains pus, there is a lot of it, and it is accompanied by unpleasant sensations and pain. Inflammation of the foreskin should be treated as quickly as possible. The disease is accompanied by redness and swelling.
prostatitis
In prostatitis - inflammation of the prostate gland - mucus in the form of a discharge, often with pus, is observed. At the same time, there are problems with potency, there is a frequent urge to urinate when it is impossible to completely empty the bladder. Accompanied by pain.
Candidiasis
Candidiasis manifests itself in a discharge that looks like cottage cheese. In this case, there is severe itching, the penis becomes red, especially the head.
Treatment
Treatment can be prescribed by your doctor. Depending on the diagnosed disease, appropriate drugs are prescribed. Usually thisantibiotics, which are also different. Some antibiotics fight sexually transmitted infections, others are aimed at suppressing the pathogenic environment - candida and other fungal microorganisms.
Conclusion
The secretion from the penis or more precisely from the urethral canal during arousal can have certain consequences if ignored.
What you need to know about discharge during arousal:
- The normal state of the fluid released from the head of the penis is clear, white, without an unpleasant odor, pus or blood.
- Disturbances in discharge may indicate the development of inflammatory processes associated with sexually transmitted infections, as well as sexually transmitted diseases.
- The characteristics of the symptoms may depend on the duration of the disease, its characteristics and the immunity of the person.
In some cases, a change in discharge is normal if there are objective reasons for it - changes in diet, concomitant diseases, abstinence from sexual activity.
