Sooner or later, men have some questions 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 the age of 25. It can be seen from this that the problem has significantly "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 on his own - by the nature of the discharge during an erection. After all, a timely appeal to a doctor for help guarantees a full-fledged painless treatment.
Normal discharge on excitement
Discharge in men from the penis during arousal, before intercourse is absolutely normal. The release of secretions when stimulating an erection in medicine is called libidinal urethrorhea. The quantity and quality of such secretions can be completely different, depending on the characteristics of the organism of a particular man.
Normally, when an erection occurs, a clear liquid should come out of the urethra. This liquid has a medium 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 onset of sexual intercourse. It is important to know that even such discharge in men contains a certain amount of sperm. This means that even with interrupted intercourse, pregnancy can occur.
So, the normal discharge during an erection is the following:
- Urethrorrhea;
- Smegma;
- Sperm.
As is already known, urethrorhea is a secret secreted when exposed to a degree of arousal. It is worth noting that libidinal urethralrhea can be discharged in the morning after waking up. This is also considered the norm for men. 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 personal hygiene. Smegma consists of fat secreted by the sebaceous glands. The secret accumulates under the skin of the glans penis. It rinses off easily while taking a shower, and a small amount is considered the norm.
If you do not follow the rules of personal hygiene, smegma begins to actively stand out during an erection. This is a fertile ground for the multiplication of many pathogenic microorganisms. And such a pathogenic microflora can cause various complications in the intimate life. Sperm is secreted from the urethra during ejaculation. After that, as a rule, the erection weakens and disappears altogether. Sperm 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 sperm discharge, this indicates serious problems with potency. Normally, ejaculation should occur no later than an hour after the start of intercourse.
Pathological discharge
Sometimes, too much discharge from the urethra during an erection may 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 for young people to be attentive to all kinds of changes.
So, discharge that goes beyond 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 penile trauma.
The secret that is secreted in men during an erection may be too scarce, or vice versa, excessive. Also, in pathology, the color and consistency of this secret plays 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. Impurities of blood or pus may be present. If the secret is transparent, but thick and pulling, we can talk about the presence of diseases such as mycoplasmosis, ureaplasmosis, chlamydia.
When passing laboratory tests, in this case, too many leukocytes are established. If the disease is in a severe, advanced form, pus is observed in the discharge. In the presence of a disease such as chlamydia, discharge accumulates on the head of the penis, and glues 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 of 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 genital organs. As soon as a man discovers any pathology, it is important to consult a doctor in a timely manner. The specialist will prescribe the most correct course of treatment. This will help avoid possible complications.
