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 his masculine strength. Indicators of the state of the genital organs are discharge from the penis.
They, like alarm bells, indicate normal internal processes or pathology. Of particular interest are the discharges in men during arousal. At this point, a small amount of fluid comes out of the penis.
Its density, volume, hue and presence of odor indicate the state of a man's reproductive organs.
Every man should know where the limits of the norm end and pathological manifestations begin in order to take timely measures to eliminate health problems.
The appearance of a natural secret
For successful procreation, it is important that during arousal, a special fluid is released from the canal of the male organ. It is she who promotes the advancement of spermatozoa to the female cell for fertilization.
Once sperm enters the vagina, there are many obstacles in its path. First of all, it is an acidic environment in which most of the male cells die. Only the secret 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 odor and in a small amount. The consistency of medium density is considered normal.
The appearance of a secret occurs not only during sexual arousal, but also in the morning, when the organ is in a state of erection. Further, a liquid discharge appears with gentle caresses with a beloved woman. Then the body prepares for intimacy.
Depending on the degree of arousal, the mucus has a different volume. With a strong sexual desire, more flow occurs. In addition, the individuality of the male body should be taken into account. The volume of fluid released 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 who are planning a pregnancy. An interrupted sexual process is not always a guarantee of success.
Along with discharge when aroused, a man may have sperm, which sometimes reach his target.
useful notice
If a young man is concerned about profuse discharge during sexual desire, he should immediately consult a doctor. A comprehensive 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 is made up of sperm and the natural mucus of the male organ. It has a whitish color and a thick character. It comes out of the penis as a result of the discharge of sexual intercourse.
Discharge rates within normal limits
The volume of fluid that must be released in a man's aroused state 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 indicate pathology, although there are exceptions.
If a man has not had sex 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 or blood elements. The male secretion rate during arousal should correspond to the following characteristics:
- transparent aqueous color;
- without a clearly expressed unpleasant odor;
- medium density.
It is important to consider that such a male discharge is affected by lifestyle and physical illnesses. If a gentleman refrains from being intimate with a woman for a long time, then this will surely be reflected in the discharge. Bad habits and eating habits are also risk factors. Constant stress and emotional crises 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 the norm. But the situation should not be a frequent occurrence.
It's 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 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. Usually, smegma leads to inflammatory processes or infections.
In adolescence, during puberty, children have nocturnal emissions. As a result of erotic dreams, strong arousal occurs. This leads to an erection, after which there is a random ejaculation. Pollution for the stronger sex is a physiological norm.
Secret change as a sign of disease.
Unfortunately, men are not immune to sexually transmitted diseases. And since the body is created in an amazing way, it is possible to determine the development of the infection by the secreted secret. Some ailments are detected only on this basis. Therefore, men should carefully watch the change in the nature of their sexual secret.
Unnatural discharge during erection often indicates such changes:
- inflammation of the urinary tract, which is caused by the multiplication of pathological microorganisms;
- infections transmitted through intimate relationships;
- evil formations;
- postoperative problems;
- urinary tract injuries.
Depending on the degree of the disease, the discharge from the penis is abundant or scant. Also, pus or blood elements enter the transparent fluid from the hole in the head of the penis. In this case, a change in color and density occurs.
A colorless slimy secret that occurs in young people during sexual arousal often indicates the presence of a pathological infection. With severe complications, pus appears, which accumulates on the head of the penis and glues the foreskin.
Various infectious infections manifest themselves not only in a change in the male secret. They are accompanied by itching sensations on the penis and its swelling. The causes of changes are such pathologies:
- prostorrhoea;
- balanoposthitis;
- hematuria;
- Non-gonococcal urethritis.
If a man notices obvious fluid changes that occur during arousal, he should see a doctor immediately. It is important to identify the disease at an early stage of development to avoid complications.
A clear danger signal is changes in the secretion of venereal diseases. If the discharge becomes like mucus, it contains many leukocytes. The appearance of pus indicates the development of trichomoniasis or ureaplasmosis. A thick, sticky, greenish-smelling discharge indicates gonorrhea.
In order to respond in time to the onset of an infection, men are advised to regularly monitor their secretions. This also applies to the calm state of the penis and with sexual arousal. Regular visits to the urologist for a preventive examination serve as a reliable protection for your masculine power.
Transparent discharge from the penis: is it dangerous?
Young hero-lovers and experienced men - everyone at least once came across such a phenomenon as transparent discharge from the penis.
It is believed that a 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 redundant, hence the appearance of small drops in the external orifice of the urethra.
More often in men, what is seen is a clear discharge from the penis. They are not always a manifestation of pathological processes, but they invariably make men worry about their health. Reasons for withdrawals may vary. We will consider the most common below.
Norm or pathology?
The male reproductive system differs from the female one in that almost all of its elements are on the outside. This allows you to notice any changes in the early stages, almost immediately after they appear. Clear discharge in men falls 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 may indicate a disease, 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 the 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 on a case-by-case basis. Many STIs have a direct negative effect 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 independently determine whether 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 transparent discharge may flow from the penis. These include:
- Physiological uretorrhea is a process in which a burst of secretion synthesis occurs 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 in the context of a morning erection. In addition to urethral discharge, the composition of secretions may include the secret of the prostate and sperm.
- Defecation prostorrhoea is a process that occurs against the background of increased straining during defecation. During this, the feces actively press on the prostate, from which a secret is secreted. It is he who forms the basis of the transparent discharge from the penis.
The male reproductive system is designed in such a way that during its normal operation a 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, or experiences a morning boner.
When the cause of the 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 physiological secretions described above, they appear at any time of the day; they have no attachment to physiological processes. Also, such discharges are accompanied by a specific symptom complex, which includes:
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, this type of discomfort can occur after an examination by a urologist or venereologist. If the man was not at the doctor's appointment, and transparent discharge from the penis is combined with the described clinical picture, then most likely it is a matter of 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 fix the problem on your own can lead to the transition of 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 a dermatovenereologist. Already during an external examination, you can make a preliminary diagnosis and give recommendations for the treatment of the disease. In addition, references will be issued for the following types of analysis:
Main article: How are samples taken from the male urethra? If there are signs of damage to the testicles, bladder, prostate, and other organs, a urogram, MRI, or CT scan may be required.
After the diagnosis is clarified, a complex treatment will be prescribed: discharge from the penis will be gradually removed. During therapy, a man is recommended to observe personal hygiene, as well as sexual abstinence. Almost always, the doctor recommends that the patient's sexual partners undergo further examination and treatment.
Antibiotics are the mainstay of treatment for clear penile discharge. Your choice depends on the name of the identified microorganisms and their sensitivity to drugs. Also, doctors may recommend that men change their diet.
What kind of transparent mucus do men secrete at the moment of arousal?
The arousal process 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 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-ejaculation comes out of the urethra of almost all healthy men, this is normal. You should panic if its quantity, color or consistency has changed. Let's find out what stands out in men when they are aroused.
Why do men lubricate?
Many people know that a woman literally flows with enthusiasm. She secretes a natural lubricant that helps prevent cracks in the vaginal mucosa during intercourse. In men, nature has provided a similar mechanism: at the moment of full arousal, a few drops of lubricant appear from the urethra.
It performs several functions:
- suppresses the acidic environment in the urethra;
- hydrates its ducts, preparing them for the passage of sperm;
- prepares the urethra for the free flow of seminal fluid;
- destroy bacteria.
The precum is released in a small amount, not enough to lubricate the penis so that it slides better in the vagina. Therefore, in the absence of a sufficient amount of 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 resistance of sperm to the acidic environment of the vagina. If the Littre and bulbourethral glands do not secrete enough of this fluid, then the man's chances of conceiving a child are reduced.
What are normal downloads?
The amount of lubricant released directly depends on the degree of arousal of a man. If the sexual desire is strong, its maximum amount comes out of the urethra. Normally, there is very little liquid, about 5 ml.
You need to understand what a healthy precum 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 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 flow considered abnormal?
If you notice that the lubricant for the penis has changed its consistency or smell, then the reason for this may be the activity of pathogenic bacteria. This process is often accompanied by symptoms:
- discharge from the urethra appears during the day, regardless of arousal;
- pain when urinating;
- unpleasant smell from bedding or from the liquid itself;
- the formation of mucus in large quantities;
- yellowish or greenish pre-ejaculatory;
- third-party inclusions in the lubricant - clots, blood or others;
- change of consistency to a thicker or liquid one.
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: consist of the secretion of the glands of the reproductive system, a small number of leukocytes and serous fluid. This type of fluid is most often formed at night, yellow spots appear on the underwear, and pus is released before urination in the morning. 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 odor 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 appeared against the background of gonorrhea and chlamydia.
- Hematorrhea: droplets of blood appear in the lubricant. They indicate a lesion on 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.
- Spermatorrhea: A man randomly expels seminal fluid. The process occurs against the background of reduced muscle tone of the vas deferens. The condition occurs in a chronic inflammatory process.
- Leukocytic urethrorrhea: Leukocytes are present in the lubricant. They appear at the moment when the inflammatory process advances 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 hard to notice. They appear if you press lightly on 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 pathology
The first thing that is checked in a man with pathological discharge is sexually transmitted diseases. They are more likely to cause 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 an 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, the appearance of symptoms.
Diseases can be caused by pathogens:
| Type of microorganism | The ailments it causes |
|---|---|
| bacteria | gonorrhea; syphilis; mycoplasmosis; lymphogranuloma; groin granuloma; ureaplasmosis; chlamydia; chancroid. |
| virus | molluscum contagiosum; HIV; herpes; most strains of the human papilloma virus; condyloma |
| mushrooms | candidiasis (thrush). |
| parasites | phthiriasis; scabies. |
It is necessary to determine the type of pathogen in order to properly prescribe treatment. Symptoms of diseases can be similar, therefore therapy cannot be started without examination and laboratory tests.
Self-medication or incorrectly selected drugs lead to the fact that the disease becomes chronic. It will be difficult to get rid of it completely.
Other reasons
If you do not have sexually transmitted diseases, then you should look for a problem in the reproductive system. most problems occur with prostatitis. With it, instead of a pre-ejaculatory, 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 fluid helps preserve the functions of the sperm.
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.
Transparent mucus from 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 smears 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, visit a doctor to get rid of the pathological process.
How is diagnosis and treatment carried out?
Hypersecretion can be a problem for a man. With it, clothes get dirty, unpleasant sensations arise, 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 the 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 is carried out according to the general plan:
- urine analysis;
- blood tests for sugar, infections;
- smear.
The fluid itself must be examined visually, and then its biological composition must be established. To do this, the doctor may, during the examination, gently press the head out of the urethra. A drop of liquid is applied to the beaker and transported to the laboratory.
If the etymology of the man's condition is unclear, additional studies may be prescribed: special urinalysis, x-ray, ultrasound of the prostate. They help to clarify the diagnosis, find the cause of the changes.
When the volume of excretion in men increases during arousal, you should not take antifungal agents and antibiotics, since this condition is considered a sexually transmitted disease. The drugs that are taken will blur the clinical picture and it will be more difficult for the doctor to establish an accurate diagnosis. Only a urologist can prescribe a course of therapy and give recommendations after examination and examination.
Can you get pregnant from a pre-ejaculate?
Male lubricant has been medically proven to contain a small amount of sperm. For conception, it is enough that only one of them reaches the ovum. Therefore, it is recommended to use a condom from the beginning of the frictions. Otherwise, there is a high probability of getting 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 need to use a condom from the very beginning. If you do not wish to use it, before the second contact, thoroughly wash the remaining semen from the head and urinate.
A high probability of conception is present in the middle of a woman's cycle, since at this time ovulation occurs and the uterine wall 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.
