Vaginal discharge in men when aroused is a natural physiological reaction of the body. Usually, they are transparent, without a strong odor, quite thick and sticky. The amount of fluid depends on the characteristics of the human reproductive system and can vary from a few drops to 4-5 mg.
Couples who are not planning a pregnancy need to know that the mucus contains active spermatozoa. Therefore, protective equipment should be used even during interrupted sexual intercourse.
Normal secret clear color, no unusual taste. The texture is of medium density. There are no impurities in the secretions.
The natural secretion that appears during intimacy is called semen. It consists of gametes and mucus from the penis. The texture is thick and the color is whitish. Exit from the penis after sexual release.
What is considered normal?
After a night's sleep or when aroused, a small amount of clear mucus is secreted on the head of the male penis, which in medicine is called libidinal urethrorrhoea. The function of this lubricant includes several important tasks. This makes it easier for the penis to slide into the vagina during sex. Another useful property of this viscous liquid is its ability to neutralize an acidic environment that is detrimental to spermatozoa. With the help of pre-ejaculatory release, nature has ensured that the remnants of uric acid are cleared from the walls of the male and female urethra. And during sexual intercourse, natural mucus acts as a protective seed against the aggressive environment of the vagina.
The composition of the transparent lubricant also includes smegma. This is the name of a fat-like substance secreted from the glans of the foreskin. Its main function is to ensure the safe passage of the glans penis from the folds of the preputial sac during arousal. However, if this beneficial mucus is not removed in time, it mixes with the dead epithelium and becomes a habitat for various pathogens. Therefore, representatives of the stronger sex at any age should carefully carry out hygiene procedures, change underwear daily, use condoms during casual sex.
What else do men need to do to keep libidinal urethrorrhoea a perfectly healthy fluid? To do this, you need to eat right, eliminate alcohol, fast food, fatty, salty, smoked foods from food. It is also important to exercise regularly to activate all metabolic processes and consult a doctor if the color, smell or consistency of the lubricant changes. Every man should avoid casual sex, but also ensure that there are no long periods of abstinence in his life.
When to Worry?
Any characteristic changes in mucus secreted during arousal should alert the man and become a reason for contacting a specialist. Often, thanks to unusual secretions, dangerous diseases of the reproductive, reproductive and excretory systems can be detected at an early stage. You should consult a doctor immediately if there is no discharge at all or if the ejaculate becomes greenish in color with a strong musty odor. Another negative factor in deviations from the norm is the appearance of blood impurities and curd-like deposits in clear mucus.
Why does the discharge turn gray-green when excited? So that the body can respond to the development of the inflammatory process in the pelvic area. The following accompanying symptoms can confirm this diagnosis:
- Increased body temperature.
- Pain in the stomach.
- Skin swelling.
- Purulent discharge from the urethra without excitation.
Thick transparent discharge sometimes indicates infection with infectious diseases: staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus, Escherichia coli. In addition, they can stand out in men not only in times of excitement, but also in a calm state of the body. Associated symptoms are:
- Itching of the genitals.
- Hyperemia of the penis.
- Redness of the external genitals.
- Swelling of the extremities.
Similar pathological processes in the male body during arousal and during the rest period are observed when infected with venereal diseases. How much the composition of the discharge deviates from the norm can be determined using a pre-ejaculatory diagnostic examination.
Immediate consultation with a doctor is necessary for men who, at the moment of arousal, release lubricant with white patches of a thickening nature. Thus, candidiasis is manifested - a fungal disease, the causative agent of which is the milk fungus Candida. This microorganism is usually part of the human microflora, but with a decrease in immunity, it begins to multiply intensively, leaving a layer of white cheese on the penis and fluid that is released during arousal.
Possible conception
Many couples are interested in whether the process of fertilization is possible with interrupted sexual intercourse, that is, is there enough sperm in the mucus for successful fertilization? Experts do not exclude the possibility of pregnancy from the clear fluid that is secreted during arousal. After all, it is impossible to accurately calculate how many germ cells will be released by pre-ejaculation. So, the more active spermatozoa in the male sperm, the more they will be in the libidinal urethra.
What factors increase the chances of conception? First of all - the days of ovulation of a woman. If interrupted coitus occurs when the cervical canal of the uterus opens, and the egg has matured and left the follicle, even one spermatozoa, which is released along with clear mucus, can fertilize. It should be clarified that this process is not the norm, and such cases are very rarely described.
Another factor that increases the chances of getting pregnant is repeated sexual intercourse. Thus, sperm droplets always remain in the male urethra, and during subsequent intimacy they are released along with mucus. To reduce this possibility, a man only needs to empty his bladder between sexual intercourse. The acidic fluid from the urine will neutralize any remaining semen, and the subsequent release, when aroused, is almost harmless.
Remember that any kind of abortion is very harmful to a woman's body. Therefore, if pregnancy is not included in your plans, use contraception or use all kinds of methods of protection (condoms, coils, vaginal caps). And if the composition of the mucus secreted during arousal is far from normal, that is, it has an unusual texture, smell, blood or curd spots, then there is a high risk of infecting a partner with an infectious or fungal disease.
Excretion when aroused is a natural process that helps keep spermatozoa active. The color, volume, smell and consistency of the fluid can tell a lot about a man's health. It is this visual deviation from the norm that can be a reason to see a doctor and identify the disease at an early stage, while other symptoms have not yet fully manifested. Therefore, all representatives of the stronger sex need not only to carefully maintain the cleanliness of the external genital organs, but also to pay attention to all changes in the discharge in time.
When asked why you should wear a condom when it interferes with sexual intercourse, experts answer that the composition of mucus includes spermatozoa, and it can lead to unplanned fertilization. To prevent this from happening, you need to maintain protective equipment, especially during the early ovulation period.
