Sooner or later, men have some questions about their health. Erection problems can occur at any age. Today, specialists face more and more complaints about the erection status of young people under the age of 25. From this it can be seen that the problem has significantly "rejuvenated". Erectile dysfunction occurs for various reasons: stress, overwork, diseases of the cardiovascular system, unhealthy lifestyle, hormonal imbalance, unhealthy diet. A man can identify some pathologies on his own - by the nature of the discharge during an erection. After all, a timely appeal to a doctor for help guarantees a full-fledged painless treatment.
Normal discharge by excitation
Discharge in men from the penis during arousal, before intercourse, is absolutely normal. The release of secretions when stimulating an erection is in medicine called libidinal urethrorax. The quantity and quality of such secretions can be completely different, depending on the characteristics of the body of a particular man.
Normally, when an erection occurs, a clear liquid should come out of the urethra. This liquid has a medium thickness. The amount and duration of such a secret depends on the degree of erection and arousal. That is, the stronger the arousal and desire, the more fluid is observed before the onset of intercourse. It is important to know that such discharge in men also contains a certain amount of semen. This means that even with interrupted intercourse, pregnancy can occur.
So, the normal discharge during an erection is as follows:
- urethrorrhea;
- Smegma;
- Semen.
As is already known, urethrorea is a secret secret when exposed to some degree of arousal. It is worth noting that the libidinal urethra can be discharged in the morning after waking up. This is also considered the norm for men. Smegma is a secret secreted by a gland located at the head of the penis. These secretions are not present in men who closely monitor personal hygiene. Smegma is made up of fat secreted by the sebaceous glands. The secret accumulates under the skin of the glans. It rinses off easily while showering and a small amount is considered the norm.
If you do not follow the rules of personal hygiene, smegma begins to actively stand out during an erection. This is a breeding ground for the multiplication of many pathogenic microorganisms. And such a pathogenic microflora can cause various complications in intimate life. Sperm is secreted from the urethra during ejaculation. After that, as a rule, the erection weakens and completely disappears. Sperm contains a large amount of sperm, the secret of the sex glands. The color of this secret is usually white. If there is no discharge of semen during intercourse, this indicates serious problems with potency. Normally, ejaculation should occur no later than one hour after intercourse begins.
Pathological discharge
Sometimes, excessive discharge from the urethra during erection can indicate a deviation. Some diseases are diagnosed precisely by the nature of the pathological discharge. Indeed, very often there are no other symptoms in men. That is why it is very important for young people to be attentive to all kinds of changes.
So, discharge that goes beyond the normal range can indicate the presence of such diseases:
- Sexually transmitted diseases;
- Inflammatory processes in the genitourinary system;
- urethritis;
- prostatitis;
- balanitis;
- oncological diseases;
- Complications after penile trauma.
The secret that is secreted in men during an erection may be too little or, vice versa, excessive. Also, in pathology, the color and consistency of this secret play an important role. As a rule, too thick or liquid discharge is considered unacceptable. In this case, the color may not be white, but yellow, gray, with a greenish tinge. There may be impurities of blood or pus. If the secret is transparent, but thick and pulling, we can talk about the presence of diseases such as mycoplasmosis, ureaplasmosis, chlamydia.
When passing laboratory tests, too many leukocytes are established in this case. If the disease is in a severe and advanced form, pus is observed in the discharge. In the presence of a disease such as chlamydia, the discharge accumulates on the head of the penis and sticks to the foreskin.
No less rarely, pathological discharge during erection occurs against the background of other diseases:
- candidiasis;
- Staphylococcus aureus;
- Streptococcus;
- Escherichia coli.
At the same time, young people complain not only of pathological discharge during erection, but also of itching, burning, swelling of the tissues of the penis. An abnormal secret does not always indicate the presence of problems with the genitourinary system. Inflammation of the genitals, both external and internal, can occur against the background of allergies, narrowing of the urethra, chemical poisoning, mechanical action on the mucous membranes of the genital organs. As soon as a man discovers a pathology, it is important to consult a doctor in a timely manner. The specialist will prescribe the most correct course of treatment. This will help avoid possible complications.
