Discharge in men during arousal is a natural physiological reaction of the body. Usually they are transparent, devoid of pungent odors, rather thick and sticky. The amount of liquid depends on the characteristics of the human reproductive system and can vary from a few drops to 4-5 mg.
Partners who are not planning a pregnancy should know that the mucus contains active spermatozoa. Therefore, protective equipment must also be used during the interruption of sexual intercourse.
Normal secret clear color, no unusual taste. The texture is of medium density. There are no impurities in the secretions.
The natural secretions that occur during intimacy are called semen. It consists of germ cells and mucus from the penis. It has a thick texture and a whitish hue. Comes out of the penis after sexual release.
What is considered normal
After a night's sleep or during arousal, a little clear mucus is secreted on the head of a man's penis, which in medicine is called libidinal urthrorhea. The function of this lubricant includes several important tasks. So it facilitates the gliding of the penis when it enters the vagina during sex. Another useful property of this viscous fluid is the ability to neutralize the acidic environment that is harmful to spermatozoa. With the help of the release of pre-ejaculate, nature has ensured that the remains of uric acid are washed from the walls of the urethra in a man and a woman. And during intercourse, natural mucus acts as a protection for the seed from the aggressive environment in the vagina.
The composition of the transparent lubricant also includes smegma. This is the name of a fat-like substance secreted from the glands in the foreskin. Its main function is to ensure a safe exit of the glans penis from the folds of the preputial sac during arousal. But if this useful mucus is not removed in time, it mixes with dead epithelium and becomes a habitat for various pathogens. Therefore, representatives of the stronger sex at any age must carefully perform hygiene procedures, change underwear daily, use condoms during casual sex.
What else should men do to keep libidinal urthrorhea an exceptionally healthy fluid? To do this, you need to eat right, eliminate alcohol, fast food, fatty, salty, smoked dishes from the diet. It is also necessary to exercise regularly to activate all metabolic processes and consult a doctor if the color, smell or consistency of the lubricant changes. Every guy should avoid promiscuous sex, but also make sure that there are no long periods of abstinence in his life.
When to worry
Any changes in the properties of the mucus released during arousal should alert the man and become a reason to contact a specialist. Often, it is thanks to unusual secretions that dangerous diseases of the reproductive, reproductive and excretory system can be detected at an early stage. You should immediately consult a doctor if there is no fluid at all or if the ejaculate becomes greenish in color with a strong musty smell. Another negative factor in the deviation from the norm is the appearance of blood impurities and curd-like sediment in the clear mucus.
Why does the discharge turn gray-green when excited? So the body can react to the development of the inflammatory process in the pelvic area. The following accompanying symptoms can confirm this diagnosis:
- Increase in body temperature.
- Pain in the stomach.
- Swelling of the skin.
- Discharge of purulent fluid from the urethra without excitement.
Viscous transparent discharge sometimes indicates infection with infectious diseases: Staphylococcus aureus, streptococci, Escherichia coli. Moreover, they can stand out in men not only at the moment of tension, but also in a calm state of the body. Associated symptoms are:
- Itching in the genitals.
- Hyperemia in the penis.
- Redness of the external genitalia.
- Swelling of the extremities.
Similar pathological processes in a man's body during arousal and during the period of rest are observed when they are infected with venereal diseases. How much the composition of the discharge has deviated from the norm can be found out with the help of a diagnostic examination of the pre-ejaculate.
It is necessary to consult a doctor immediately for men who, at the time of arousal, release a lubricant with white spots of a curly nature. This is how candidiasis is manifested - a fungal disease, the cause of which is the milk fungus Candida. This microorganism is normally part of the human microflora, but with a decrease in immunity, it begins to multiply intensively, leaving a white cheesy coating on the penis and in the fluid released during arousal.
Probability of conception
Many couples are interested in whether the process of conception is possible with interrupted intercourse, that is, are there enough sperm cells in the mucus for successful fertilization? Experts do not exclude the possibility of pregnancy from a clear liquid released during arousal. After all, it is impossible to accurately calculate how many gametes come out with pre-ejaculate. So the more active spermatozoa in a man's semen, the greater their number will be in the libidinal urethra.
What factors increase the likelihood of conception? First of all - the days of ovulation of a woman. If coitus interruptus occurs at a time when the cervical canal of the uterus is open and the egg has matured and left the follicle, even a single spermatozoon, released along with clear mucus, is capable of effecting fertilization. It should be clarified that this process is not the norm, and such cases are described very rarely.
Another factor that increases the possibility of getting pregnant is repeated intercourse. Thus, drops of semen always remain in the passage of the male urethra, and during the next intimacy they are released together with mucus. To reduce this likelihood, a man only needs to empty his bladder between intercourse. The acidic fluid in the urine will neutralize any remaining semen, and the next discharge, when excited, will again be almost harmless.
Remember that any kind of abortion is extremely harmful to the female body. Therefore, if pregnancy is not included in your plans, you must take contraceptives or use all kinds of protection methods (condom, IUD, vaginal cap). And if the composition of the mucus released during arousal is far from normal, that is, it has an unusual texture, smell, blood or curd stains, then there is a high risk of infecting a partner with infectious or fungal diseases.
Ejaculation during arousal is a natural process that helps keep spermatozoa active. The color, volume, smell and consistency of a liquid can tell a lot about a man's health. It is a visual deviation from the norm that can become a reason to see a doctor and identify the disease at an early stage, while other symptoms are not yet fully manifested. Therefore, all representatives of the stronger sex must not only carefully take care of the hygiene of the external genitalia, but also notice all changes in the secreted fluid in time.
When asked why one should wear a condom when interrupting intercourse, experts answer that the composition of the mucus includes spermatozoa and it can cause an unplanned conception. To prevent this from happening, you need to take care of the protective means, especially at the beginning of the ovulation period.
