Male discharge during arousal is a natural physiological reaction of the body. They are usually transparent, without a pungent smell, quite 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 pregnancy should know that there are active spermatozoa in the mucus. Therefore, it is necessary to use protective measures even when interrupting sexual intercourse.
Normal secret clear color, no unusual taste. The texture is medium dense. There are no impurities in the secretions.
The natural discharge that occurs during intimacy is called semen. It consists of germ cells and mucus from the penis. It has a thick texture and a whitish shade. Comes out of the penis after intercourse.
What is considered normal
After a night's sleep or during arousal, a little clear mucus is released on the head of a man's penis, which is medically called libidinous urethrhoea. The function of this lubricant includes several important tasks. Thus, it facilitates the gliding of the penis into the vagina during sex. Another useful property of this viscous liquid is its ability to neutralize the acidic environment that harms sperm. By secreting pre-ejaculate, nature has ensured that the remains of uric acid are washed off the walls of the male and female urethra. And during intercourse, natural mucus acts as a protection for the seed from the aggressive vaginal environment.
The composition of the clear ointment also includes smegma. This is the name given to the fat-like substance that is released from the foreskin glands. Its main function is to ensure the safe exit of the penis head from the folds of the collar 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 of any age must carefully perform hygiene procedures, change underwear daily, use condoms during casual sex.
What else do men need to do to make the libidinal urethra an exceptionally healthy fluid? To do this, you need to eat right, removing alcohol, fast food, fatty, salty, smoked dishes from your 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 casual sex, but also make sure that there are no long periods of abstinence in his life.
When to worry
Any changes in the characteristics of the mucus released during arousal should alert the man and become a reason to contact a specialist. Often, it is due to unusual secretions that dangerous diseases of the reproductive, reproductive and elimination systems can be detected early. Contact your doctor immediately if there is no fluid at all or if the ejaculate becomes greenish in color and has a strong musty smell. Another negative factor of deviation from the norm is the appearance of blood impurities and curd-like deposits in the transparent mucus.
Why does discharge turn gray-green when excited? Thus, the body can react to the development of an inflammatory process in the pelvis. The following symptoms can confirm this diagnosis:
- Increase in body temperature.
- Pain in the abdomen.
- Swelling of the skin.
- Discharge of purulent fluid from the urethra without excitement.
Viscous transparent discharge sometimes indicates infection with infectious diseases: staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus, Escherichia coli. In addition, they can stand out in men not only at the moment of excitement, but also in a calm state of the body. Associated symptoms include:
- Itching in the genitals.
- Hyperemia in the penis.
- Redness of the external genitalia.
- Swelling of the limbs.
Similar pathological processes in the male body during excitement and rest are observed when infected with venereal diseases. How much the composition of secretions has deviated from the norm can be found out by performing a diagnostic pre-ejaculate test.
It is necessary to consult a doctor urgently for those men who secrete lubricant with white spots of a contracted nature during arousal. Thus, candidiasis occurs - a fungal disease, the causative agent of which is the milk fungus Candida. This microorganism is usually part of the human microflora, but when immunity decreases, it begins to multiply intensively, leaving a white cheese plaque on the penis and in the liquid released during arousal.
Fertilization probability
Many couples are interested in whether the process of conception is possible after stopping sexual intercourse, that is, is there enough sperm in the mucus for successful fertilization? Experts do not rule out the possibility of getting pregnant from the clear liquid that is released during excitement. After all, it is impossible to calculate exactly how many germ cells will come out with the pre-ejaculate. Thus, the more active spermatozoa in a man's semen, the higher their number will be in the libidinous urethra.
What factors increase the chances of getting pregnant? First, the days of a woman's ovulation. If the interrupted intercourse occurs at a time when the cervical canal is open and the egg has matured and left the follicle, even a single spermatozoon released along with the clear mucus can carry out fertilization. It should be clarified that this process is not common, and such cases are described very rarely.
Another factor that increases the likelihood of pregnancy is repeated sexual intercourse. Thus, drops of sperm always remain in the male urethra, and during the next intimacy they are released together with mucus. To reduce this probability, a man only needs to empty his bladder between intercourse. The acidic urine will neutralize the remaining sperm, and other secretions that are excited will again be almost harmless.
Remember that any abortion is very harmful to a woman's body. Therefore, if pregnancy is not included in your plans, use contraceptives or use all kinds of protection (condom, IUD, vaginal cover). And if the composition of the mucus released during excitement is far from normal, it has an unusual texture, smell, blood or curd stains, then there is a high risk of infecting the partner with infectious or fungal diseases.
Ejaculation during arousal is a natural process that helps keep sperm active. The color, volume, smell and consistency of the fluid can tell a lot about a man's health. This is a visual deviation from the norm, which 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 take care of the hygiene of the external genitalia, but also notice any changes in the secreted fluid in time.
When asked why it is necessary to wear a condom during sexual intercourse, experts answer that the composition of the mucus includes spermatozoa and this can lead to unplanned pregnancy. To prevent this from happening, you need to take protective measures, especially after the start of the ovulation period.
