For the continuation of the human race, the ability of a man to transfer his sperm to a woman plays a huge role. Therefore, it is very important for him to take care of his male health and strength. Indicators of the state of the genital organs are discharge from the penis.
They, like alarm bells, indicate normal internal processes or pathologies. Of particular note are the secretions in men during excitement. At this point, a small amount of fluid flows out of the penis.
Its density, volume, shade and presence of smell indicate the state of the reproductive organs of a man.
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 a special fluid is released from the channel of the male organ during arousal. It is she who promotes the advancement of sperm into the female cell for fertilization.
Once the sperms enter the vagina, there are many obstacles in their way. First of all, it is an acidic environment in which most male cells die. Only the secret formed during an erection helps 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. 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. Also, a liquid discharge appears with gentle caresses with a beloved woman. So the body prepares for intimacy.
Depending on the degree of excitation, the mucus has a different volume. With a strong sexual desire, increased discharge occurs. Also, the individuality of the male body should 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 liquid. This is important for those planning a pregnancy to consider. An interrupted sexual process is not always a guarantee of success.
Along with the discharge during arousal, a man may have sperm cells, which sometimes reach their goal.
Useful tips
If a young man is concerned about abundant secretion during sexual desire, you should immediately consult a doctor. A thorough examination will help 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 a whitish color and a dense character. It comes out of the penis following the discharge of sexual intercourse.
Discharge rates within normal limits
The volume of fluid that should be released in a man's excited state varies. The physiology of the body has a lot to do with this. Everyone knows their limit if they take regular care of themselves.
But if there is a change in the amount and nature of the mucus, it is important to see a doctor. By finding out the cause in time, it is really possible to avoid problems.
In most cases, such changes signal pathology, although there are exceptions.
If a man has not had sex for a long time, the discharge during an erection increases significantly. Also, they get thicker than usual. And in appearance - a little more cloudy. It is important that there are no yellow shades and blood elements. The rate of male secretion 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 male discharge is influenced by lifestyle and physical diseases. If a gentleman refrains from intimacy with a lady for a long time, this will certainly be reflected in discharge. Bad habits and eating habits are also risk factors. Constant stress and emotional disruptions lead to weakened immunity and weakness in 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 shouldn't 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 inflammation of the prostate gland, the secreted fluid changes its color. At the same time, its smell and texture should correspond to the norm.
A natural reaction to non-compliance with intimate hygiene is the appearance of smegma. This particular type of secretion occurs in the skin folds near the head of the male penis. Usually smegma leads to inflammatory processes or infections.
In adolescence, during puberty, boys have nocturnal emissions. As a result of erotic dreams, strong arousal occurs. This leads to an erection, after which there is an arbitrary ejaculation. Pollution for the stronger sex is a physiological norm.
Secret change as a signal of disease
Unfortunately, but men are not immune from sexual diseases. And since the body was created amazingly, it is possible to determine the development of the infection by the secret secreted. Some disturbances are only detected on this basis. Therefore, men should carefully observe the change in the nature of their sexual secret.
Unnatural discharge during an 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 lesions.
Depending on the degree of the disease, the discharge from the penis is large or scanty. Also, pus or blood elements enter the clear liquid from the hole on the head of the penis. In this case, a change in color and density occurs.
A colorless viscous secret that occurs in young people during sexual arousal often signals the presence of a pathological infection. With severe complications, pus appears, which collects on the head of the penis and glues the foreskin.
Various infectious infections are manifested not only in a change in the male secret. They are accompanied by sensations of itching of the penis and its swelling. The causes of the changes are such pathologies:
- prostorrhoea;
- balanoposthitis;
- hematuria;
- nongonococcal urethritis.
If a man notices obvious fluid changes occurring during arousal, he should seek immediate medical attention. It is important to identify the disease at an early stage of development to avoid complications.
A clear danger signal are changes in the secretion of venereal diseases. If the discharge becomes like mucus, it contains many white blood cells. The appearance of pus indicates the development of trichomoniasis or ureaplasmosis. A thick, sticky discharge of a greenish color, which has an unpleasant odor, indicates gonorrhea.
In order 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 with sexual arousal. Regular visits to the urologist for a preventive examination serve as a reliable protection for his male power.
Transparent discharge from the penis: is it dangerous?
Young hero-lovers and experienced men - at least once they all come across such a phenomenon as transparent discharge from the penis.
It is believed that a variety of secretions from the genital organs 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 in the external opening of the urethra.
Most often in men, clear discharge from the penis is observed. They are not always a manifestation of pathological processes, but invariably make men worry about their health. Reasons for withdrawals 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 initial stages, almost immediately after their appearance. 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 may 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 sexual power, 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 cured on a case-by-case basis. Many STDs have a direct negative effect on the central nervous system and 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 can come out of the penis. These include:
- Physiological urethrorrhea is a process in which an explosion 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 against the background of a morning erection. In addition to the urethral secretion, the composition of the secretions may include prostate and sperm secretion.
- Defecation prostorrhoea is a process that occurs against the background of increased straining during defecation. During this, the stool actively presses on the prostate gland, 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 transparent discharge can appear during its normal operation.
It is very easy to understand that there are no health problems in this case. When discharge appears, a man either wants to use the toilet, or has just left it, or experiences a morning erection.
When the cause of discharge is an illness
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 attachment to physiological processes. Also, such discharges are accompanied by a specific complex of symptoms, among which are:
If the 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 can occur after examination by a urologist or venereologist. If the man was not at the doctor's appointment and the transparent discharge from the penis is combined with the described clinical picture, the matter is most likely genital infections.
What to do with the appearance of pathological discharge
If a man has unfavorable transparent discharge from the penis with a specific smell, 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 lead to the transition of a sexually transmitted disease into a chronic form.
Problems with the reproductive system can be completely eliminated 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. Reports will also be issued for the following types of analyses:
Main article: How are male urethral swabs taken? If there are signs of damage to the testicles, bladder, prostate and other organs, urography, MRI or CT may be required.
After the diagnosis has been clarified, a complex treatment will be prescribed: the discharge from the penis will be eliminated gradually. During therapy, a man is advised to observe personal hygiene and sexual abstinence. Almost always, the doctor recommends that the patient's sexual partners undergo an examination and subsequent treatment.
Antibiotics are the mainstay of treatment for clear discharge from the penis. Their 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 is secreted in men at the moment 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 an erection is considered a physiological norm and is necessary to create a favorable environment for the release of sperm cells.
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 height of arousal, a small amount of fluid is released from the urethra. Pre-ejaculate comes out of the urethra of almost all healthy men, this is normal. You need to panic if its amount, color or texture has changed. Let's find out what highlights in men when they are excited.
Why do men lube?
Most people know that a woman is literally flowing with excitement. 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 complete arousal, a few drops of lubricant appear from the urethra.
It performs several functions:
- suppresses the acidic environment in the urethra;
- moisturizes its ducts, preparing for the passage of sperm;
- prepares the urethra for the free flow of seminal fluid;
- destroys bacteria.
Pre-spermal fluid is released in a small amount, it is not enough to lubricate the penis to better slide into the vagina. Therefore, in the absence of a sufficient amount of discharge from a woman, use lubricants.
A pre-ejaculant 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 boy'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 the sexual desire is strong, its maximum amount comes out of the urethra. There is normally very little liquid - about 5 ml.
It is necessary to understand what a healthy pre-sperm looks like, what it is:
- transparent;
- fragrance free;
- without lumps and other inclusions;
- viscous;
- released without pain or discomfort.
The consistency of the lubricant can change. With repeated intercourse, before ejaculation or insufficient hygiene, it becomes cloudy and more viscous. After 1-2 days, the appearance of the fluid in a healthy man returns to normal.
When is the discharge considered abnormal?
If you notice that the penis lubricant has changed in consistency or smell, the reason 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 smell of linen or the liquid itself;
- the formation of mucus in large quantities;
- yellowish or greenish pre-ejaculant;
- third-party inclusions in the lubricant: clots, blood or other;
- change in consistency to a thicker or liquid one.
If you notice any such changes, you should contact a urologist immediately, as this could 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 - consists 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 morning urination. The reason for the changes is the activity of bacteria: ureamycoplasma, chlamydia, trichomonas.
- Purulent: consisting of urethral epithelial cells, leukocytes and serous fluid. They have a strong smell 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 an injury to 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 expels semen randomly. The process occurs against the background of reduced muscle tone of the vas deferens. The condition occurs in a chronic inflammatory process.
- Leukocytic urethrothorrhoea: White blood cells are present in the lubricant. They appear at the moment when the inflammatory process proceeds 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.
The 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 labia of the urethra.
The main causes of pathology
The first thing a man is checked for pathological discharge is STDs. 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 several tests.
Venereal illnesses
STDs 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. Reproduction of pathogens leads to their spread throughout the body, the appearance of symptoms.
Diseases can be caused by pathogens:
| Type of microorganism | The disturbances it causes |
|---|---|
| bacteria | gonorrhea; syphilis; mycoplasmosis; lymphogranuloma; inguinal granuloma; ureaplasmosis; chlamydia; carcinoid. |
| Virus | molluscum contagiosum; HIV; herpes; most strains of human papillomavirus; condyloma. |
| Fungus | candidiasis (thrush). |
| parasites | phthiriasis; scabies. |
It is necessary to determine the type of pathogen in order to correctly prescribe treatment. Symptoms of diseases may be similar, therefore, therapy cannot be started without examination and laboratory tests.
Self-medication or improperly 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 don't have any sexually transmitted diseases, you should look for a problem in the reproductive system. most often problems with prostatitis occur. With it, instead of a pre-ejaculant, prostatic secretion can be released in large quantities.
It is similar to the lubricant that appears upon 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 occurring 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 secretion 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 the diagnosis and treatment carried out?
Hypersecretion can be a problem for a man. With it, the laundry gets dirty, unpleasant sensations arise, and a plaque forms on the head. If you are faced with this problem, you need to urgently contact a urologist. He will establish the cause of increased secretions and tell you about ways to get rid of it.
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 occurs according to the general plan:
- Urine analysis;
- blood test for sugar, infections;
- smear.
The liquid itself must be examined visually and then its biological composition must be established. To do this, the doctor may, during the examination, press lightly on the head to get it out of 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 unclear, additional studies may be prescribed: special urine tests, radiography, ultrasound of the prostate. They help clarify the diagnosis, find the cause of the changes.
When the volume of excretion in men increases during excitement, you should not drink antifungal agents 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-ejaculant?
Male lubricant has been clinically proven to contain 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 condoms from the very beginning of friction. Otherwise, there is a high chance of getting pregnant even with interrupted intercourse or if you are only protected before ejaculation.
With repeated intercourse, the sperm count in the lube increases, so condoms should be used from the start. If you don't want to use it, before the second contact, wash the remaining sperm thoroughly 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. Spermatozoa during this period, even without the sperm nutrient medium, easily get to the egg.
On the remaining days of the cycle, they quickly die, as there is inappropriate acidity in the vagina.
