The appearance of biological secretions during arousal can occur not only in women, but also in men.This is a normal physiological process that does not require a visit to the doctor.However, discharge from the penis may not always indicate sexual desire in a woman.Men, like women, are susceptible to diseases of the reproductive system, the signs of which can be abundant viscous fluid from the penis.What discharges are considered normal and in which cases is it important to see a doctor as soon as possible?
Discharge is normal
Healthy discharge for men should not be accompanied by unpleasant sensations and a foul smell.The appearance of fluid from the genitals during sex is considered normal.Clear discharge in men during sexual arousal is called pre-ejaculate.The formation of preejaculate is clearly visible not only before sexual intercourse, but also after it.What is the significance of the mysterious secret?
Discharge during male arousal softens sexual intercourse with a partner, thus reducing the risk of mechanical injuries to the organs of the reproductive system.In addition, after ejaculation, the clear, odorless mucus from the man's penis helps the sperm to reach the woman's egg, which leads to the successful conception of a child.
Composition of preejaculate
Pre-ejaculate is clear mucus without a strong odor.Pre-seminal fluid contains alkali and biologically active substances (enzymes).It is pre-sperm, due to its alkaline composition, that neutralizes the acidic environment of the vagina and thus contributes to further conception of the fetus.
Can you get pregnant from pre-seminal fluid?
Many sexual partners who do not plan pregnancy in the near future, do not use contraceptives, but practice interrupted sexual relations.Unfortunately, this method of birth control is considered ineffective and there are several reasons for this:
- In the case of premature ejaculation or in the case of low sensitivity of the partner to ejaculation, the possibility of stopping the sexual act at the right time is reduced to a minimum.
- If there are spermatozoa left in the man's urethra after the previous sexual act, then we can say that the biological substance will leave the urethra with the pre-ejaculate.
- With great sexual arousal, some men cannot control intercourse.
Therefore, discharge when a man is excited can also lead to pregnancy, and in order to avoid unwanted pregnancy, you need to use contraceptives or means (condoms, oral contraceptives, intrauterine ring, etc.).
In what cases should you consult a doctor?
The discharge of oil from the male genital organs can be not only the norm, but also a symptom of the disease.Only timely consultation with a doctor and timely treatment can speed up the recovery process without complications.
Signs of diseases of the genitourinary system:
- unpleasant sensations in the urethra such as unbearable burning and itching,
- a change in the consistency of the fluid released when excited (watery or too thick),
- increased secretions,
- a lubricant with a repulsive smell is released from the penis,
- change in mucus color (from salty white to green),
- the mucus secreted contains pus and blood clots,
- genital skin hyperemia,
- the appearance of rashes on the head of a man's penis without discharge,
- increase in body temperature, general malaise,
- urinary retention or frequent urination.
Similar pathological changes in the male body can occur with STD, inflammatory processes of the reproductive system, infectious diseases of the urinary system.To find out the exact cause of painful discharge, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment of the pathology.
A change in the color of discharge indicates serious infectious diseases that can be sexually transmitted.Grayish and greenish discharge does not always indicate a sexually transmitted disease.A similar symptom can accompany inflammatory processes in the body, along with an increase in body temperature.
White discharge with the consistency of cheese indicates the presence of fungal infections of the genus Candida.The fungus is usually transmitted from a woman to a man.In this case, both the partner himself and his partner are treated.
The red color of discharge signals an inflammatory disease of the urogenital system (cystitis, prostatitis).
Yellow discharge indicates the presence of an STD, but such a sign is not always accompanied by discomfort.Pus discharges from the penis in diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhea.
The reason to visit a specialist can be not only discharge, but also its complete absence.In some cases, the absence or insufficient amount of secretion indicates the presence of an inflammatory process.In addition, it should be known that in older men there may be no pre-seminal fluid at all and this is not a pathology.
Treatment options are available
Treatment is prescribed by a doctor after receiving the results of laboratory diagnostics.In no case should you self-medicate, because in this way you can harm your health and worsen the course of the accompanying disease.
Pathological secretions are treated differently, depending on the pathogen.Discharges caused by bacterial infection are eliminated using antibacterial and immunostimulating drugs.If an inflammatory process occurs in the body, the inflammation itself is eliminated, after which the unpleasant secretions disappear by themselves.
It should be remembered that both men and women are treated for diseases of the reproductive system.This is the only way to get rid of the cause of the pathology and reduce the risk of re-infection.
Men should pay special attention to any changes in their body, because the disease detected in time allows for a quick recovery.In order to avoid infectious diseases transmitted during sexual intercourse, it is necessary to use contraception (condom).Since the condition of secretions directly depends on the food consumed, it is recommended to avoid fried, spicy and canned food.The rules of intimate hygiene should also not be forgotten.
