Do boys release lubricant when they are sexually aroused?

Discharge from the reproductive organs can trouble not only girls but men as well. Men have normal discharge, which is odorless. Their source is the urethra. In women, this discharge is called leucorrhea. If you notice unhealthy discharge, schedule an in-person appointment with your urologist immediately.

Normal or pathological?

The urethra is the male urethra. From there they appear from time to time. There is a condition called urethral leakage. It can be physical or sexual. Transparent discharge from the urethral outlet. This happens in the morning, after waking up, or when a man becomes sexually aroused.Urethral leakage can be more or less obvious. The lubricant released during sexual arousal contains sperm. Therefore, if you don't want to have a baby yet, you should protect your genitals even during foreplay. The male's secretions help the sperm enter through the urethra and pass through the partner's vagina. After all, the environment there is acidic, which is harmful to sperm life.

pathological secretions

The above describes physiological discharges that commonly occur in boys and men. Here, we'll look at secretions associated with health problems. Most pathological discharge from the urethra worries menfor urethritis. This is an inflammatory process that occurs in the urethra. Urethritis can be caused by infectious or non-infectious factors.Infections can be specific or non-specific. Specifically, it is mainly trichomonas or gonorrhea. Anonspecific urethritisCan be triggered by the following pathogens:

• Mycoplasma
• Ureaplasma urealyticum
• Chlamydia
• herpes
• staphylococcus
• Streptococcus

Non-infectious causes of urethritisand related genital tract secretions:

• Trauma, urethral stricture
• Chemical stimulation
• Mechanical damage to mucosa
• Effects of allergens

Male genital tract discharge may vary in color and clarity. This depends on how active the inflammation is, at what stage it is, and on the flora causing the inflammation.Penile discharge includes::

• slime
• liquid
• cells from different sources

If there are many of the last-mentioned ingredients, then the secretion will become cloudy, which can be observed by the naked eye of the person himself. If a large number of epithelial cells are present in the secretion, the secretion will become thicker and gray in color.if you find yourselfYellow-green, green or yellow dischargeMost likely, they contain large numbers of white blood cells. This means that the discharge contains an abscess, which is the result of an inflammatory process. For the same disease, the consistency, amount, and nature of the discharge may vary. For example, they may be thicker at the beginning of the disease and then gradually become more and more liquid. This is a process that varies from person to person, and your doctor cannot determine your disease during the examination. You will need to undergo a series of tests. male dischargewhiteThere may be different reasons. The first thing doctors think of is the proliferation of Candida. This disease is therefore called -. You may have heard that women can get thrush. It also occurs in men, but mostly in a hidden form. But in rare cases, white discharge may occur from the genitals.

There is a peculiar smell in the discharge

The first possible reason (and the most harmless) is poor hygiene. As mentioned above, smegma is a normal discharge in men (and does not indicate disease). If you don't wash it regularly, at least once a day, then smegma can accumulate and bacteria can multiply in it, creating an unpleasant odor. These smells may differ for different men.If you follow good hygiene rules but still have a bad smell, your doctor may suspect you have a metabolic disorder. In this case, the most common cause is diabetes. Smegma is released in large quantities and therefore clothing becomes wet.Infections are also responsible for smelly discharge in men. Pathological processes occur mainly in the urethra. Your doctor may suspect that gonorrhea infection is causing urethritis. The nature of the discharge is as described above. If a man's discharge from his penis smells sour, he likely has urogenital candidiasis.

Bloody discharge in men

The main cause is infection. The discharge may be entirely bloody or may contain streaks of blood. If the infection colonizes the urinary tract, you will notice symptoms like this, but not necessarily. Urethritis in such cases is mainly caused by Candida, Trichomonas or Gonorrhea infection. The more severe the inflammation, the more blood is released.The blood may be caused by chronic inflammation of the urethra. The essence of this process is that the mucosal layer of the urethra becomes loose. If irritated, the membrane becomes damaged and blood begins to release. Even urination can cause irritation.The second possible cause is a medical procedure performed carelessly. The urethra is injured, which is why the bleeding occurs. Surgery that may cause damage to the urethra:

• Conduit installation
• catheter removal
• Burkina
• Get a smear test
• Cystoscopy

Drain bloody fluid immediately. It should be noted that in this case the blood is scarlet, there are no clots, and it stops quickly.The passage of stones and sand is the next cause of bloody penis. They are secreted from the kidneys or bladder and pass through the urethra. Microstones are hard in texture and can damage mucous membranes and blood vessel walls, becoming a direct cause of bleeding. Pain may also occur.

Blood is discharged together with sperm

This discharge is called "hematosperm". It can be true or false. If the hematospermia is false, the blood will mix with the sperm as it passes through the urethra. If this pathology is true, blood would mix with sperm before passing through the urethra. Hematospermia presents with the following symptoms:(clinical picture):

• urinary tract disease
• pain during ejaculation
• Lower back discomfort and pain
• Genital pain and/or swelling
• high body temperature

Causes of blood in semen:

• long term abstinence
• Hypersexuality (rupture of blood vessel walls during intercourse)
• pelvic organ varicose veins
• Testicular and vas deferens stones
• Malignant and benign formations of genitourinary organs
• Biopsy
• genital surgery

If you notice discharge from your genitals that does not go away within a day or two, consult an experienced doctor in person immediately. If discharge occurs after unprotected intercourse, there is no need to sound the alarm, but you do need to see a doctor as soon as possible and get tested.

Variants of physiological secretions

Standard for normal discharge,Corresponding to the functions of the organs of the genitourinary system:

• Urine- Transparent, straw to golden yellow, almost odorless, containing no flakes or other inclusions;
• Prostate secretsHas a viscous consistency and a white hue, and has the characteristic odor of sperm;
• Ejaculation:Sperm from the ejaculatory ducts mix with secretions from the urethral glands, bulbourethral glands, and prostate to form a gray-white color with a mucus consistency;
• fresh smegmaIt looks like a thick white lubricant from the foreskin gland; it may turn yellow or green over time.

Foreskin Lubrication –Smegma– Constantly stand out, accumulates under the lining of the foreskin and in the coronal sulcus of the penis. The lubricant consists of fat and bacterial residue and is evenly distributed to reduce friction between the foreskin and glans skin. Maximum activity of the foreskin glands is characteristic of puberty; with increasing age, secretion decreases and ceases completely in old age.Urethral leakage, mucus, colorless dischargeFrom the bulbourethral and urethral glands. They appear only during arousal associated with sexual desire. The purpose of clear mucus discharge is to lubricate the urethra and improve the passage of sperm. The amount of secretion varies from small to large, and these parameters are related to the individual characteristics of the body and the frequency of sexual activity. After prolonged abstinence, the amount of discharge increases. Emission – spontaneous release of sperm, has nothing to do with sexual intercourse. It is usually observed in the morning when testosterone levels rise. Depends on age and intensity of sexual activity: it appears in boys during puberty, in adult men - irregular or infrequent sexual intercourse.Prostatic leakage, discharge of a small amount of clear mucus from the urethraThere are gray-white inclusions. Occurs when the abdominal muscles are tight (such as constipation) or after urination. The discharge consists of a mixture of semen and prostate secretions; increased volume and cloudiness may be signs of prostatitis.

pathological secretions

In men, the causes of penile discharge can be sexually transmitted diseases, tumors, non-specific inflammation of the genitourinary organs, various injuries, medical procedures or surgeries.

Pathological discharge from the urethra is different from normal:

1. By quantity (too much or too little, maybe just the right amount);
2. By color and transparency (from white to yellow-green, cloudy);
3. Impurities (blood, pus, mucus clumps);
4. Consistency (very runny or too thick and sticky);
5. By smell (sour, rancid, fishy);
6. According to frequency of occurrence (depending on time of day, continuous or intermittent discharge);
7. Related to urination, sexual arousal, alcohol consumption, and spicy food.

The nature of the secretion depends on the causative agent of the disease, the state of the immune system and concomitant diseases, as well as the severity and duration of inflammation (acute or chronic).If the amount, density or color of the discharge changes, or if it develops an unpleasant odor, it is recommended to consult a doctor and get it checked out. There is no point in self-diagnosis, it is difficult to correctly identify a disease based on just one symptom.

Penile discharge associated with STDs

slime: Clear discharge, thick and sparse, occurring in chronic form or in urethritis. Microscopic examination reveals moderate numbers of leukocytes in the secretion (normally up to 4 cells in the field of view).Mucopurulent: White discharge, translucent; observed in the acute phase of chlamydiasis, ureaplasmosis, and mycoplasmosis. After a chlamydial infection, they can accumulate on the glans penis, as if "sticking" to the skin.purulent discharge, which is characterized by an unpleasant odor. They are sticky, yellow or green, and have a rancid smell. Under a microscope, epithelial cells from the urethra and many white blood cells can be seen in the material. Symptoms of gonorrheal urethritis: persistent large discharge; especially strong during urination.

With sexually transmitted diseases, co-infections in which multiple pathogens combine simultaneously are often observed. Gonorrhea is associated with chlamydiasis, mycoplasmosis and ureaplasmosis, and usually occurs in "pairs". Symptoms of these disorders differ from the typical presentation; urethral discharge may also present completely different characteristics. Therefore, for the final diagnosis, modern analytical techniques with high reliability are used instead of the characteristics of the secretions.

Nonspecific (non-STD) inflammation

The cause of non-specific inflammation is the patient's own microbiota, which is classified as opportunistic inflammation and is only activated when there is a problem with the body's immune defenses. Streptococcus and Staphylococcus, a genus of fungiCandidaE. coli and E. coli are always present on skin and mucosal surfaces, but after hypothermia, prolonged stress, uncontrolled antibiotic treatment, radiation and chemotherapy, they begin to actively multiply and replace beneficial bacteria.

Secretions not related to inflammation

Sperm - discharged as passively flowing sperm,Occurs outside of intercourse or masturbation, without the feeling of orgasm. Causes are some neurological disorders, spinal injuries, chronic stress, and long-term inflammation of the genital area. Spermia is associated with impaired innervation and reduced vas deferens tone.bleeding,Damn question. Frequent urethral tube injuriesBurkina, after productioncatheteror when taking smears from mucous membranes. In this case, the blood is fresh, clot-free, and in small amounts, and the bleeding stops quickly. Bleeding with very severe pain during or immediately after urination when small kidney stones or sand are passed (renal colic). There is blood discharge duringHematuric glomerulonephritis(glomerular inflammation) with edema, persistent increase in blood pressure, and protein in the urine.Discharge is brownMalignant tumors with blood clots or mucus mixed with pus that appear in the prostate, urethra or bladder. Brown mucus can form during mucosal wound healing and be released during urethral and/or bladder polyposis.Prostatic leakage- Prostatic discharge from the urethra. Occurs in chronic prostatitis, prostate adenoma, damaged innervation (neurogenic bladder).

Examination process for the presence of pathological discharge from the penis

1. Examine the perineum, penis, foreskin, and glans.The purpose is to identify deformations of the reproductive organs, traces of injury, external signs of inflammation, discharge, rashes, etc. Sometimes obvious traces of discharge can be seen on the underwear.
2. Palpate the inguinal lymph nodes and assess their condition:size, whether it is hotter or cooler than surrounding tissue, whether it is painful, soft or dense, moves or merges with the skin, and whether it is ulcerated.
3. digital prostate examination;Massage the prostate through the rectum and obtain secretions for microscopic examination. Do not urinate 1-2 hours before massage. In prostatic adenomas, the gland lobes are approximately equally enlarged and can be palpated as dense bands. Uneven growth and its consistency are typical of malignant tumors; clotted blood may be released from the urethra when the prostate is palpated.
4. Materials - for use in microscopy.When examined under a microscope, the stained smear may reveal blood cells, epithelium, sperm, fatty inclusions, and some pathogens (E. coli, gonococci, Gardnerella, yeast).increased white blood cell countCharacteristics of acute urethritis or exacerbation of chronic inflammation,eosinophils– For allergic urethritis.red blood cellsSeen in severe inflammation, tumors, genitourinary organ damage, and urolithiasis.Massive epithelium– Signs of chronic urethritis, urethral leukoplakia. When nocturnal emissions are found in a smearsperm, with urethral leakage –slime, simpler-lipid particles.
5. General clinical blood tests,blood for sugar- In the morning, on an empty stomach.Detailed urinalysis(morning part, immediately after bed).
6. Ultrasonography of the prostate, bladder, and kidneys; CT and urography.

If the manifestations of genital inflammation are severe, then the patient is immediately prescribed broad-spectrum antibiotics before the test results are received. If the bleeding is severe, you should be hospitalized and take active measures to stop bleeding. Suspicion of malignancy can only be confirmed by biopsy results; the final diagnosis is made on the basis of histological examination.

important:

• Penile discharge is only a symptom and should not be used as a guide to diagnosis.
• UnacceptableIndependently prescribed medicines. Medications, even if the symptoms seem obvious for a particular disease.

Normal amount of mucus

The amount of pre-ejaculate depends directly on the man's level of arousal. A strong sexual desire allows for maximum concentration.Normal liquid volume is 5 ml.

Some representatives of the stronger sex are physiologically unable to secrete lubricants. Failure to pre-ejaculate during an erection reduces the ability to conceive.

A healthy pre-ejaculation has the following characteristics:Pre-seed has a cleaning function, so its consistency may vary. Men may experience cloudy lubricant due to repeated sexual intercourse, poor hygiene, or before ejaculation. She will be back to normal within 1-2 days. Otherwise, the development of a pathogenic process should be suspected.

signs of deviation from the norm

Pathological mucus discharge in men differs from healthy mucus discharge in color, odor and consistency. They are almost always accompanied by unpleasant feelings.Symptoms indicate lubricant deviation from standard:These signs are characteristic of the pathological process that indicates the development of the disease.Unhealthy male discharge is divided into the following types:

type	describe
nocturnal emission	Random leakage of sperm without orgasm. The cause of this process is a decrease in muscle tone of the vas deferens. Pathology due to chronic inflammation
Bleeding	Drain the lubricant mixed with blood. Urethral mucosal damage occurs
Leukocyte urethral leakage	The exudative phase of the inflammatory process, caused by thermal, mechanical, chemical, or viral damage to the urethral mucosa
Mucopurulent	They consist of small amounts of white blood cells, serous fluid, and glandular secretions. This mucus is characterized by active formation at night. A man noticed pus discharge and yellow spots on his underwear in the morning. Mucopurulent discharge occurs when the urethra is damaged by bacteria: Trichomonas, Ureaplasma, Chlamydia
Purulent	They include large numbers of leukocytes, urothelium, mucus, and serous fluid. They have a thick consistency and an unpleasant odor. They appear as yellow or green droplets. Evidence for the development of gonococcal urethritis, which develops in the context of chlamydia and gonorrhea

The amount of mucus released can be large or small. Poor lubrication is difficult to notice. To do this, you must press on the urethra so that fluid comes out of the opening. It dries quickly and forms a film on the membrane of the glans penis. The consistency makes the urethral sponge stick together.

Causes of pathological discharge

Most of the time, lubrication that is secreted differently than normal is caused by a sexually transmitted disease, but there are many other conditions.

sexually transmitted diseases

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) should be suspected if pathological discharge is accompanied by unpleasant symptoms. Such diseases occur under the influence of unfavorable microflora, which are present in the mucosa of the urinary tract, external areas and cavities of the reproductive organs, and glands.

What changes indicate illness

Various changes in pre-ejaculation indicators deserve attention. Reasons to see a specialist immediately are:

• Change in color of the fluid - it may be gray, tinged with green or yellow (indicating the presence of purulent contents).
• Blood impurities.
• partly cloudy.
• Cheese-like consistency.
• Bad musty smell.

These signs indicate an inflammatory process. The following symptoms often occur:

• Lower abdominal pain.
• Frequent need to go to the toilet.
• hot.
• Congestion of the skin area.
• Purulent discharge from the urethra at rest (without sexual arousal).

During surgical procedures on the prostate and other organs of the genitourinary system, mucus may be released from the urethra as postoperative complications occur.The release of clear fluid during the absence of erection is one of the pathological symptoms, and its causative agents are Streptococcus, Staphylococcus and Escherichia coli. A similar situation occurs when contracting a sexually transmitted disease. In this case please note:

• Congestion of external reproductive organs.
• Itching in the penis and scrotum.
• Swelling of lower limbs.

If a man notices cheese inclusions before ejaculation, he urgently needs to consult a qualified doctor, as this indicates the presence of candidiasis. This inflammatory disease is caused by fungi of the genus Candida, a group of opportunistic microorganisms. Normally, they exist in the body and do not cause any harm. The action of negative external factors and reduced immunity lead to rapid proliferation of fungi and their transformation into pathogenic forms.

Some sperm are found in the pre-ejaculate, which makes conception possible. Therefore, if couples are not trying to get pregnant, they should take birth control pills or otherwise protect themselves not only during intercourse but also during foreplay.

other reasons

The prostate plays a key role in the formation of sperm. It produces secretions, without which semen loses its function. When the prostate becomes inflamed, its production increases.Men with chronic prostatitis may find that large amounts of lubricant flow out of the urethral opening when sexually aroused. This is a prostate secretion that bears considerable resemblance to pre-ejaculation.Excessive discharge during excitement may occur with the development of various inflammatory processes.Clear mucus may be observed in the urethra after probing. The formation of this fluid is the body's protective response to minimal trauma to the mucosal surface.A large amount of clear discharge during ejaculation may indicate infertility.In order to diagnose pathology, it is necessary to take into account not only the visual properties of the liquid, but also its biological composition. The man needs to see a doctor for a checkup.
