Sooner or later, men wonder about their health. Erection problems can occur at any age. Today, specialists are increasingly faced with complaints about the state of erection of young people under 25 years old. It can be deduced that the problem has considerably "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 himself - by the nature of the discharge during an erection. After all, a timely appeal to a doctor for help guarantees full-fledged painless treatment.
Normal discharge on excitation
Discharge in men from the penis during arousal, before sexual intercourse is absolutely normal. The release of secretions during the stimulation of an erection in medicine is called libidinal urethrorhea. The quantity and quality of these secretions can be completely different, depending on the characteristics of a particular man's body.
Normally, when an erection occurs, a clear fluid should come out of the urethra. This liquid has an average 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 start of intercourse. It is important to know that even such a discharge in men contains a certain amount of sperm. This means that even with interrupted sex, pregnancy can occur.
So, the normal discharge during an erection is as follows:
- Urethrorrhea;
- Smegma;
- Sperm.
As is already known, urethritis is a secret secreted when exposed to a certain 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. The smegma is a secret secreted by a gland located at the head of the penis. These secretions are not present in men who carefully monitor their personal hygiene. Smegma is made up of fat secreted by the sebaceous glands. The secret accumulates under the skin of the glans penis. It rinses off easily when taking a shower, and a small amount is considered the norm.
If you do not follow the rules of personal hygiene, the smegma begins to actively stand out during an erection. It is a fertile ground for the multiplication of many pathogenic microorganisms. And such pathogenic microflora can lead to various complications in intimate life. Semen is secreted through the urethra during ejaculation. After that, as a rule, the erection weakens and disappears completely. Semen contains a large amount of sperm, the secret of the sex glands. The color of this secret is usually white. If during intercourse there is no outflow of semen, this indicates serious problems with potency. Normally, ejaculation should occur no later than one hour after the start of intercourse.
Pathological discharge
Sometimes too much discharge from the urethra during an erection can indicate some 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 that young people pay attention to all kinds of changes.
So, discharge that exceeds the normal range may indicate the presence of such diseases:
- Sexually transmitted diseases;
- Inflammatory processes in the genitourinary system;
- Urethritis;
- Prostatitis;
- Balanitis;
- Oncological diseases;
- Complications after trauma to the penis.
The secret that is secreted in men during an erection may be too rare, or vice versa, excessive. In addition, 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 tint. Blood or pus impurities may be present. If the secret is transparent, but thick and pulling, then we can talk about the presence of such diseases as mycoplasmosis, ureaplasmosis, chlamydia.
Upon successful completion of laboratory tests, in this case, too many leukocytes are established. 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, discharge collects on the head of the penis and sticks the foreskin.
No less rarely, pathological discharge during an 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 genitals. 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 treatment for you. This will prevent possible complications.
