Discharge in men during arousal is a natural physiological reaction of the body. They are usually transparent, free from pungent odors, quite thick and sticky. The amount of liquid depends on the characteristics of the human reproductive system and can range from a few drops to 4-5 mg.
Partners who are not planning to become pregnant need to know that the mucus contains active sperm. Therefore, protective equipment must also be used during the interruption of sexual intercourse.
Transparent secret normal color, no unusual taste. The texture is of medium density. There are no impurities in the secretions.
The natural secretions that appear during intimacy are called sperm. It consists of gametes and mucus from the penis. It has a thick consistency and a whitish tinge. It comes out of the penis after sexual release.
What is considered normal
After a night of sleep or during arousal, some clear mucus is secreted on the head of a man's penis, which is medically called libidinal urethrorrhea. The function of this lubricant includes several important tasks. Hence, it facilitates the sliding of the penis when it enters the vagina during sex. Another useful property of this viscous liquid is the ability to neutralize the acidic environment which is harmful to spermatozoa. With the help of pre-ejaculate release, nature made sure that the remnants of uric acid were washed off the walls of a man's and a woman's urethra. And during sexual intercourse, the natural mucus acts as a protection for the semen from the aggressive environment of the vagina.
The composition of the transparent lubricant also includes smegma. This is the name of a fat-like substance that is secreted by the glands of the foreskin. Its main function is to ensure the safe exit of the glans from the folds of the preputial sac during arousal. However, if this useful 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 must carefully carry out hygiene procedures, change underwear every day, use condoms during casual sex.
What else must men do to keep libidinal urethrorrhea an exceptionally healthy fluid? To do this, you need to eat right, eliminating alcohol, fast food, fatty, salty and smoked dishes from the diet. It is also necessary to exercise regularly to activate all metabolic processes and to consult a doctor if the color, smell or consistency of the lubricant changes. Every guy should avoid promiscuous sex, but also make sure there are no long periods of abstinence in his life.
When to worry
Any change in the characteristics of the mucus that is 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 systems can be detected at an early stage. You should see a doctor immediately if there is no liquid 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 impurities in the blood and curd-like sediments in the clear mucus.
Why does the discharge turn gray-green when excited? Then 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 abdomen.
- Swelling of the skin.
- Discharge of purulent fluid from the urethra without excitation.
Viscous transparent discharge sometimes indicates infection with infectious diseases: staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus, Escherichia coli. In addition, they can stand out in men not only in the moment of arousal, 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 the body of a man during arousal and during the rest period are observed in case of infection with venereal diseases. How much the composition of the discharge has deviated from the norm can be found out using a diagnostic test of the pre-ejaculate.
Urgently consult a doctor is necessary for men who, at the moment of arousal, release a lubricant with white spots of a curd nature. Thus, candidiasis is manifested - a fungal disease, the causative agent 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 cheesy white coating on the penis and in the liquid that is released during arousal.
Probability of conception
Many couples are interested in whether the conception process is possible with interrupted intercourse, i. e. is there enough sperm in the mucus for successful fertilization? Experts do not rule out the possibility of pregnancy from a clear liquid that is released during arousal. After all, it is impossible to accurately calculate how many germ cells will come out with the pre-ejaculate. Hence, the more active spermatozoa are in a man's sperm, the greater their number will be in the libidinal urethra.
What factors increase the likelihood of conception? First of all - the days of a woman's ovulation. If the coitus interruptus occurs at a time when the cervical canal of the uterus is open and the egg has matured and has left the follicle, even a single sperm, released along with clear mucus, is able to carry out fertilization. It should be made clear that this process is not the norm and such cases are very rarely described.
Another factor that increases the chance of getting pregnant is repeated sexual intercourse. Therefore, the semen drops always remain in the passage of the male urethra, and during the subsequent intimacy they are released along with the mucus. To reduce this likelihood, a man only needs to empty his bladder between intercourse. The acidic fluid in the urine will neutralize the remaining sperm and the subsequent discharge, once aroused, will again be almost harmless.
Remember that any type of abortion is extremely harmful to the female body. Therefore, if pregnancy is not included in your plans, take contraceptives or use all kinds of protection methods (condom, coil, vaginal cap). And if the composition of the mucus that is released during arousal is far from normal, that is, it has an unusual texture, smell, blood stains or curd, then there is a high risk of infecting a partner with infectious diseases or fungal.
Excretion during arousal is a natural process that helps keep sperm cells active. The color, volume, smell and texture 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 consult 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 must not only carefully take care of the hygiene of the external genital organs, but also note all changes in the secreted fluid over time.
When asked why to wear a condom when intercourse is interrupted, experts reply that the composition of the mucus includes sperm and can cause unplanned conception. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to take care of the means of protection, especially during the onset of the ovulation period.
