Men, like women, are very vulnerable to diseases of the genital region and, therefore, they also need to carefully monitor their well-being, with special attention to the secretion of the urethra at the time of sexual arousal. For it is in this state that a secret of the penis begins to emerge, by the nature of which men's health can be judged. And what discharge during arousal in men is natural and what are the signs of pathologies, you will find out now.
What is considered the norm?
To get an idea of which penile secretions indicate the development of various diseases, you first need to find out which one is normal. And they are:
- Livid urethrorrhea. It is the name of a clear liquid, with no specific odor, which occurs at the time of sexual arousal and serves as a lubricant. At the same time, the transparent 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 mobile and easily penetrate the partner's vagina, and as a result she can become pregnant. It is for this reason that those who do not wish to have children in the near future are advised to use a condom (only if the woman does not take OK) from the beginning of the relationship, and not at the end of the relationship, as many do.
- Sperm. It has a mucous consistency and white color, does not differ in a specific odor and only begins to detach from the urethra when the maximum peak of excitation is reached. It contains a high percentage of motile sperm and a secret produced by the sex glands. If this fluid enters a woman's vagina during ovulation (it occurs midway through the menstrual cycle), the probability of conceiving a child is 80 to 90%, even if little ejaculation is released at the end of sex. It is noteworthy that some men associate this phenomenon with pathologies, but this is not the case. If other symptoms do not bother you, then this phenomenon is more often associated with the physiological characteristics of the body.
- Smegma. It is a secret produced by the sex glands located near the head of the penis. It may have a yellowish or whitish color, in addition to giving off an unpleasant odor. The accumulation of smegma in the glans region of the penis is not a pathology, but indicates insufficient adherence to personal hygiene rules.
All these secretions with strong sexual excitement are the absolute norm. However, if other symptoms are added to them (pain in the head of the penis or in the groin, itching, hyperemia, a specific smell, etc. ), this already indicates deviations that require immediate medical consultation and examination.
Pathological discharge of the penis
As already mentioned, it is normal for men to have mucus when they are aroused. But what if it contains blood or pus impurities? Of course, don't lean back and visit a doctor as soon as possible. After all, the presence of unnatural impurities in the secret secreted of the penis always speaks of the development of pathologies.
And discussing why in men of the urethral canal there may be specific discharge, it is necessary to observe the following pathologies accompanied by a similar symptom:
- Inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system, causing several pathogenic microorganisms.
- Oncological diseases.
- STDs.
- Complications of an inflammatory nature that occur after injury during a stroke or surgery.
Above all, fear and fear for health in men arise in situations where they notice blood secretion from the urethral canal during ejaculation. And the reason blood flows from the penis are cancer diseases that affect the prostate, testicles or spermatic cords. But, in this case, there are other characteristic symptoms of these diseases:
- Pain when urinating.
- Urine stained red.
- Temperature increase.
- Mucous clots can come out of the urethra (seen in later stages of disease development).
Important! Cancer is a dangerous disease that can be fatal. And therefore, in no case should it be delayed with its treatment. Most often, its development in men occurs in the context of a formed prostate adenoma that has not responded to proper treatment.
If a clear sticky secret, viscous in consistency, emitting an unpleasant odor starts to stand out through the urethra, this indicates the development of infectious diseases transmitted directly during intercourse. Additional signs of its presence are itching, redness at the head of the penis, and the appearance of a rash. 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 large number of leukocytes, which makes them sticky. Thus, in its composition, pus impurities can be noticed, which already indicates a complicated course of these diseases. If there is no pus, there is no reason to delay treatment as these diseases can cause phimosis to develop. This is a condition characterized by the adhesion of the foreskin to the glans and can only be removed by surgery.
Other infectious diseases can also become the cause of pathological secretion of the urethral canal in men, whose development is also necessary to consult the doctor immediately. Among them is the defeat of the genital pairs (testicles) or the urethra by fungi, staphylococci, streptococci, etc. In addition, they can be disturbed by itchy perineum, swelling of the scrotum or glans penis, and hyperemia.
Diseases such as:
- balanoposthitis;
- non-gonorrheic urethritis;
- prostatorrhea;
- hemorrhea;
- spermatorrhea.
With these pathologies, a blood secret can also be released from the urethra of the penis, which is complemented by pain in the groin, head of the penis, and scrotum. Often, as it develops, weakness, increased body temperature, and difficulty in urinating are noted.
What to do?
If a man, during sexual excitability, notices a discharge from the urethra of an exudate atypical for him, you should immediately consult a doctor who will help establish the exact cause of its occurrence. Therefore, as a rule, a series of diagnostic measures are prescribed, which include:
- Urethral smear for bacterial culture.
- Spermogram.
- Examination by a proctologist.
- General analysis of urine and blood.
- Ultrasound of Organs pelvic organs, etc.
Once the doctor has established the cause of the pathological discharge, he or she prescribes a treatment that can reduce the manifestations of the disease and prevent the development of complications in this context.
If a man does not go to the doctor and does not undergo a complete treatment, this can lead to the progression of the disease and the occurrence of irreversible consequences that will affect not only the quality of his sexual life, but also his health in general.
After all, some diseases of the genitourinary sphere at the time of ejaculation cause bleeding to open, which is why a man can die suddenly. And to avoid this, when pathological discharge appears, it is necessary to postpone sexual intercourse and consult the doctor. Only then will there be a chance to prevent the development of serious complications and preserve male health for many years.
