For the continuation of the human race, a man's ability to transfer his seed to a woman plays an important role. Therefore, it is very important for him to take care of his health and male strength. Indicators of the state of the genitals are discharge from the penis.
They, like alarm bells, indicate normal internal processes or pathology. Of particular interest are discharges in men during arousal. At that point, a small amount of fluid comes out of the penis.
Its density, volume, shade and presence of smell indicate the state of a man's reproductive organs.
Every man should know where the boundaries of the norm end and pathological manifestations begin, in order to take timely measures to eliminate health problems.
The emergence of a natural secret
For successful procreation, it is important that during excitement a special fluid is released from the male organ channel. It is she who promotes the advancement of sperm to the female cell for fertilization.
Once sperm enter the vagina, there are many obstacles in their way. Firstly, it is an acidic environment in which most male cells die. Only the secret formed during an erection helps to reduce acidity.
Thus, male cells have a chance to survive and achieve the main goal.

Usually, the male secret is absolutely transparent in color, without an unpleasant odor and in a small amount. Medium density consistency is considered normal.
The appearance of a secret occurs not only during sexual excitement, but also in the morning, when the organ is in an erection state. Also, liquid discharge appears with gentle caresses with a beloved woman. Thus the body prepares itself for intimacy.
Depending on the degree of excitement, mucus has a different volume. With strong sexual desire, more discharge occurs. In addition, the individuality of the male body must be taken into account. The volume of released fluid can reach up to 5 mg.
In some cases - a few drops or none at all. A small amount of sperm is released along with the fluid. This is important to consider for those planning a pregnancy. An interrupted sexual process is not always a guarantee of success.
Along with discharge when excited, a man may have sperm, which sometimes reach their goal.
useful advice
If a young man is concerned about profuse discharge during sexual desire, you should immediately consult a doctor. A complete examination will help to identify pathologies at an early stage of development.
The natural secret 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 an off-white color and a thick character. Comes out of the penis as a result of discharge from sexual intercourse.
Discharge rates within normal limits
The volume of fluid that must be released in a man's excited state varies. The physiology of the body has a lot to do with it. Everyone knows their limit if they regularly take care of themselves.
But if there is a change in the amount and nature of the mucus, it is important to consult a doctor. Finding the cause in time, it is really possible to avoid problems.
In most cases, these changes signal pathology, although there are exceptions.
If a man has not had intercourse for a long time, the discharge during an erection increases significantly. Also, 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 male secretion rate during arousal should correspond to the following characteristics:
- transparent watercolor;
- without a clearly expressed unpleasant odor;
- average density.
It is important to consider that this male discharge is affected by lifestyle and physical illnesses. 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 of the body.
Sometimes discharge from the penis with strong excitement leads to defecation. From a physiological point of view, this is the norm. But the situation should not be a frequent occurrence.
It is important to know:
The secret that comes out of the penis is made up of sperm. If they are of poor quality or a man suffers from an inflammation of the prostate gland, the secreted fluid changes color. At the same time, its smell and consistency must correspond to the norm.
A natural reaction to non-compliance with intimate hygiene is the appearance of smegma. This special type of discharge occurs in the skin folds near the head of the male penis. Typically, smegma leads to inflammatory processes or infections.
In adolescence, during puberty, boys have nocturnal emissions. As a result of erotic dreams, strong excitement occurs. This leads to an erection, after which an arbitrary ejaculation occurs. Pollution for the stronger sex is a physiological norm.
Secret change as a sign of illness
Unfortunately, but men are not immune from sexual diseases. And since the body is amazingly created, it is possible to determine the development of the infection by the secret secreted. Some diseases are detected only on this basis. Therefore, men must carefully observe the change in the nature of their sexual secret.
Unnatural discharge during erection often indicates such changes:
- inflammation of the urinary tract, caused by the multiplication of pathological microorganisms;
- infections transmitted through intimate relationships;
- malignant formations;
- postoperative problems;
- urinary tract injuries.
Depending on the degree of the disease, discharge from the penis is large or scanty. Also, pus or blood elements get into the clear liquid through the hole in the head of the penis. In this case, a change in color and density occurs.
A viscous, colorless secret that occurs in young people during sexual arousal often signals the presence of a pathological infection. With severe complications, pus appears, which accumulates on the head of the penis and glues the foreskin together.
Various infectious infections manifest themselves not only in a change in the male secret. They are accompanied by itchy sensations in the penis and its swelling. The causes of the changes are such pathologies:
- prostorrhea;
- balanoposthitis;
- hematuria;
- non-gonococcal urethritis.
If a man notices obvious changes in 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 danger sign is changes in the secretion of venereal diseases. If the discharge becomes like mucus, it contains too many white blood cells. The appearance of pus indicates the development of trichomoniasis or ureaplasmosis. A thick, sticky, greenish discharge with an unpleasant smell indicates gonorrhea.
To respond in time to the appearance of an infection, men are advised to regularly monitor their secretions. This also applies to the calm state of the penis and sexual arousal. Regular visits to the urologist for a preventive examination serve as reliable protection for your male power.
Transparent discharge from the penis - is it dangerous?
Young lovers of heroes and experienced men - all of them at least once encountered such a phenomenon as transparent discharge from the penis.
It is believed that a variety of secretions from Organs genitals are 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 redundant - hence the appearance of small drops at the external opening of the urethra.
Most often, in men, a clear discharge from the penis is observed. They are not always a manifestation of pathological processes, but they invariably make men worry about their health. The reasons for dropping out may vary. We will consider the most common of them below.
Norm or pathology?
The male reproductive system differs from the female in that almost all of its elements are located outside. 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 of pathogenic microflora.
Discharge can indicate an illness, which can be confirmed by a specialist
In the first case, transparent discharge from the penis does not pose any danger. And in the second there is a danger of losing not only part of the sexual potency, but also the functions of other organs and systems.
Diseases of the reproductive system in men of infectious origin are in vain considered innocent "sores" that can be treated case by case. Many STDs have a direct negative effect on the central nervous system and musculoskeletal system.
Immediately after discovering suspicious symptoms, it is important for a man to try to independently determine whether transparent discharge from the penis is dangerous in his case. It is very 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 transparent discharge can flow from the penis. These include:
- Physiological uretorrhea is a process in which there is an outbreak of secretion synthesis in the male urethra. This phenomenon usually occurs in the morning when the bladder is full. As part of the discharge, urethral discharge and urine are found.
- Libidinous uretorrhea is a process that occurs against the background of a morning erection. In addition to the urethral secretion, the composition of the secretions may include the secret of the prostate and spermatozoa.
- Defecation prostorrhea is a process that occurs against the background of increased straining during defecation. During this, the stool actively presses on the prostate, from which a secret is secreted. It is he who forms the basis of transparent discharge from the penis.
The male reproductive system is designed in such a way that during its normal functioning, transparent discharge may appear.
It is very easy to understand that there are no health problems in this case. When the discharge appears, a man wants to use the toilet, or just got out of it, or experiences a morning erection.
When the cause of discharge is a disease
The situation is somewhat different with pathological secretions. They occur in diseases such as gonorrhea and trichomoniasis, urepalasmosis and mycoplasmosis. Unlike the previously described physiological secretions, they appear at any time of the day - they have no connection with physiological processes. Also, such discharges are accompanied by a specific symptom complex, 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 nonspecific genital infection. Also, discomfort of this kind may occur after examination by a urologist or venereologist. If the man has not gone to the doctor and the transparent discharge from the penis matches the clinical picture described, the problem is more likely in 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 odor, treatment should begin immediately. Often, men try to avoid seeing a doctor. It is not recommended to do this - attempts to solve the problem on your own can result in the transition from a sexually transmitted disease to 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 need to make an appointment with a urologist or dermatovenereologist. Already during an external examination, he can make a preliminary diagnosis and give recommendations for the treatment of the disease. In addition, referrals will be issued for the following types of analyses:
Main article: How are male urethral swabs made? If there are signs of damage to the testicles, bladder, prostate, and other organs, urography, MRI, or CT scan may be needed.
After the diagnosis has been clarified, a complex treatment will be prescribed - discharge from the penis will be gradually eliminated. During therapy, a man is advised to observe personal hygiene, as well as sexual abstinence. Almost always, the doctor recommends that the patient's sexual partners be examined and subsequently treated.
Antibiotics are the mainstay of treatment for clear discharge from the penis. Your 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 kind of transparent mucus is secreted in men at the time of arousal?
The process of arousal in a man is associated with the transition of the penis to an erect state, which is the key to successful sexual intercourse. Discharge 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, a change in the nature of the mucus and the appearance of atypical signs indicate disorders of the genitourinary system and may be associated with diseases.
At peak excitation, a small amount of fluid is released from the urethra. Pre-ejaculation comes out through the urethra of almost all healthy men, this is normal. You need to panic if its quantity, color or consistency has changed. Let's find out what stands out in men when they are excited.
Why do men lubricate?
Many people know that a woman literally flows with excitement. It secretes a natural lubricant that helps prevent the vaginal mucosa from cracking during intercourse. In men, nature has provided a similar mechanism - at the moment of full excitement, a few drops of lubricant come out of the urethra.
It performs several functions:
- suppresses the acidic environment in the urethra;
- hydrates your ducts, preparing for the passage of sperm;
- prepares the urethra for the free flow of seminal fluid;
- destroys bacteria.
Pre-seminal fluid is released in a small amount, it is not enough to lubricate the penis for better sliding into the vagina. Therefore, in the absence of sufficient discharge from a woman, use lubricants.
A pre-ejaculate increases a man's ability to conceive. It is a component of sperm that increases the sperm's resistance to the acidic environment of the vagina. If the littre and bulbourethral glands do not secrete enough of this fluid, then the man's chance of conceiving a child is reduced.
What are normal discharges?
The amount of lubricant released directly depends on the degree of arousal of a man. If sexual desire is strong, its maximum amount comes out of the urethra. Usually there is very little liquid - about 5 ml.
It is necessary to understand what a healthy pre-seminal fluid looks like, what it is:
- transparent;
- smelless;
- no lumps and other inclusions;
- viscous;
- released without pain or discomfort.
Lubricant consistency can change. With repeated intercourse, before ejaculation or insufficient hygiene, it becomes cloudy and more viscous. After 1-2 days, the appearance of fluid in a healthy man returns to normal.
When is discharge considered abnormal?
If you notice that the lubricant for the penis has changed in 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 appears during the day, regardless of excitement;
- pain when urinating;
- unpleasant odor of linen or the liquid itself;
- the formation of mucus in large quantities;
- yellowish or greenish pre-ejaculate;
- third-party inclusions in the lubricant - clots, blood or otherwise;
- change in consistency to a thicker liquid or runny.
If you notice these changes, contact a urologist immediately, as this could be a sign of an infection developing.
Classification of pathological secretions
According to the composition of the selection are divided into several types:
- Mucopurulent: consist of the secretion of the glands of the reproductive system, a small number of leukocytes and serous fluid. This type of liquid usually forms 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, white blood cells, and serous fluid. They have a strong smell and thick consistency, come out in drops that remain in your underwear. Such discharge from the penis is characteristic of gonococcal urethritis, which appeared against the background of gonorrhea and chlamydia.
- Hematorrhea: Drops of blood appear in the lubricant. They indicate a lesion in the mucous membrane of the urethra. Often this appears after visiting a urologist and taking a smear for analysis or after installing a catheter to drain urine.
- Spermatorhea: A man expels seminal fluid randomly. The process occurs against the background of reduced muscle tone of the vas deferens. The condition occurs in a chronic inflammatory process.
- Leukocyte urethrothorrhea: Leukocytes are present in the lubricant. They appear at the time when the inflammatory process occurs in the exudative phase. The causes of the condition are called damage to the mucous membrane of the urethra of one of the types: thermal, mechanical, chemical or viral.
Scanty discharge is difficult to notice. They appear if you lightly press on the urethra. Such a lubricant in men dries quickly, forming a film on the head and blinding the labia of the urethra.
The main causes of the pathology
The first thing a man is checked for pathological discharge is sexually transmitted diseases. They are more likely to lead to urinary tract infections. A venereologist or urologist can accurately diagnose after an examination, obtaining the results of pathological fluid samples and various 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. The reproduction of pathogens leads to their spread throughout the body, to the appearance of symptoms.
Diseases can be caused by pathogens:
| Type of microorganism | The diseases it causes |
|---|---|
| bacteria | gonorrhea; syphilis; mycoplasmosis; lymphogranuloma; inguinal granuloma; ureaplasmosis; chlamydia; chancroid. |
| virus | molluscum contagiosum; HIV; herpes; most strains of human papillomavirus; condyloma. |
| fungus | candidiasis (thrush). |
| parasites | pthriasis; scabies. |
It is necessary to determine the type of pathogen in order to properly prescribe treatment. Symptoms of diseases can be similar, so therapy cannot be started without laboratory tests and tests.
Self-medication or incorrectly selected drugs lead to the fact that the disease becomes chronic. It will be difficult to completely get rid of it.
other reasons
If you do not have sexually transmitted diseases, then you should look for a problem in the reproductive system. most often problems with prostatitis occur. 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 time of excitement. The inflammatory process increases the amount of secretion produced by the gland, as the body tries to maintain its reproductive function.
The fluid helps preserve sperm functions.
The reasons for excessive discharge can be:
- inflammatory processes that occur in the reproductive system;
- hypothermia of the body;
- allergic reaction;
- injury to the penis, chemical or physical.
The transparent mucus of the urethra also performs protective functions. Periodically, the body produces it in large quantities to restore the mucous membranes 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 take its course, consult a doctor to get rid of the pathological process.
How is the diagnosis and treatment done?
Hypersecretion can be a problem for men. With it, the linen becomes dirty, unpleasant sensations appear, and plaque forms on the head. If you are faced with this problem, you should urgently contact a urologist. He will establish the cause of increased secretions and talk about ways to help get rid of them.
A healthy man needs to visit a doctor every 6 months for preventive purposes. Do not hide existing problems at the reception, as this can lead to complications.
Diagnosis of changes in the nature of the discharge takes place according to the general plan:
- Urine analysis;
- blood test for sugar, infections;
- stain.
The liquid itself must be visually examined, and then its biological composition must be established. To do this, the doctor may, during the examination, lightly press the head to remove it from the urethra. A drop of liquid is applied to the glass and transferred to the laboratory.
If the etymology of the man's condition is not clear, additional studies may be prescribed: special urine tests, X-ray, ultrasound of the prostate. They help to clarify the diagnosis, to find the cause of the changes.
When the volume of excretion in men increases during arousal, you should not drink antifungal drugs or antibiotics, considering this condition a sexually transmitted disease. The drugs taken will blur the clinical picture and it will be more difficult for the doctor to establish a true diagnosis. Only a urologist can prescribe a course of therapy and give recommendations after an examination and examination.
Can you get pregnant from a pre-ejaculate?
It has been clinically proven that male lubricant contains a small number of sperm. For conception, it is enough for only one of them to reach the egg. Therefore, it is recommended to use a condom from the beginning of friction. Otherwise, there is a high probability of getting pregnant even with interrupted sexual intercourse or if you are protected just before ejaculation.
With repeated intercourse, the number of sperm in the lubricant increases, so you need to use a condom from the very beginning. If you don't want to use it, before the second contact, wash the remaining semen well from your head and urinate.
A high probability of conception is present in the middle of a woman's cycle, as this is when ovulation and the opening of the uterine wall occur. The spermatozoa 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, as there is inadequate acidity in the vagina.
