Men, like women, are very vulnerable to diseases of the genital area, and therefore they should also carefully monitor their well-being, paying special attention to discharge from the urethra at the time of sexual arousal. Since in this condition a secret from the penis begins to appear, by the nature of which you can judge the health of men. And which discharge during awakening in men is natural, and which signal pathologies, you will now discover.
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 one is normal. And they are:
- Libido urethrorrea. 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, transparent fluid from the penis is released in very small amounts and does not give any discomfort to the man. The lubricating secretion contains some sperm, which are also motile and easily penetrate into the partner's vagina, as a result of which she may become pregnant. Strong for this reason that those who do not want to have children in the near future are advised to use condoms (only if the woman does not get OK) from the beginning of intercourse, and not at the end of intercourse, as many do
- Sperm. It has a mucous consistency and white color, does not change to a specific odor and begins to come out of the urethra only when the maximum peak of awakening is reached. It contains a high percentage of motile sperm and a secretion produced by the sex glands. 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 small amount of ejaculate is released at the end of sex. It is worth noting that some men associate this phenomenon with pathology, but this is not the case. If the other symptoms do not bother, then this phenomenon is most often associated with the physiological characteristics of the body.
- Smegma. It is a secretion produced by the sex glands located near the head of the penis. It may have a yellow or white tinge, and also emit an unpleasant odor. Accumulation of smegma in the area of the glans penis is not a pathology, but shows 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. ), then this already indicates deviations that require an immediate 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 excited. But what if it contains blood impurities or pus? Of course, do not sit down and visit a doctor as soon as possible. After all, the presence of unnatural impurities in the secretion secreted by the penis always speaks of the development of pathologies.
And arguing why in men from the urethral canal there may be specific discharges, it is necessary to note the following pathologies associated with a similar symptom:
- Inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system, the provokers of which are various pathogenic microorganisms.
- Oncological diseases.
- SSTs.
- Complications of an inflammatory nature that occur after injury during a stroke or surgery.
Above all fears and fears for their health in men arise in those situations when they notice the discharge of blood from the urethral canal during ejaculation. And the reason why blood leaks from the penis is most often oncological diseases that affect the prostate gland, testicles or spermatic cords. But in this case, there are other symptoms characteristic of these diseases:
- Pain when urinating.
- Staining of urine with red.
- Rising temperature.
- Mucosal coagulations may arise from the urethra (observed in later stages of pathology 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 against the background of a formed prostate adenoma, which did not respond to adequate treatment.
If a transparent sticky secretion, a viscous consistency, which emits an unpleasant odor begins to emerge through the urethra, then this indicates the development of infectious diseases 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 by the penis contains a large number of leukocytes, which makes them viscous. So in their composition, pus impurities can be observed, which already indicates a complex course of these diseases. If there is no pus, then this is not a reason to delay treatment, because such diseases can cause the development of phimosis. This is a condition characterized by adhesion of the foreskin to the glans penis and can only be eliminated with surgery.
Other infectious diseases can also cause pathological discharge from the urethral canal in men, with the development of which it is also necessary to immediately go to the doctor. Among them is the loss of paired genitals (testicles) or urethra by fungi, staphylococci, streptococci, etc. Furthermore, they may be bothered by itching in the perineum, swelling of the scrotum or glans penis and hyperemia.
Diseases such as:
- balanoposthitis;
- non-gonorrheal urethritis;
- prostate;
- hemorrhoids;
- spermatorrhoea
With these pathologies, a blood secretion can also be released from the urethra of the penis, which is filled with pain in the groin, head of the penis and scrotum. Often, with their development, weakness, an increase in body temperature and difficulty urinating are observed.
What to do?
If a man, during sexual arousal, noticed a discharge from the urethra of an exudate not characteristic of him, you should immediately visit a doctor who will help determine the exact cause of its occurrence. For this purpose, as a rule, a number of diagnostic measures are prescribed, which include:
- Urethral stain for bacterial culture.
- Spermogram.
- Examination by a proctologist.
- General analysis of urine and blood.
- Ultrasound of pelvic organs, etc.
Once 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 its background.
If a man does not visit a doctor and does not undergo a full course of treatment, then this can lead to the progression of the disease and the appearance of irreversible consequences that will affect not only the quality of sex life, but also his health. in general.
After all, some diseases of the genitourinary sphere at the time of ejaculation provoke the opening of bleeding, which is why a man may die suddenly. And to prevent this, when pathological discharge occurs, it is necessary to postpone sexual intercourse and make sure to visit a doctor. Only in this way will there be a chance to avoid the development of serious complications and maintain your masculine health for many years.
