In men, discharge during arousal is a normal physiological phenomenon caused by processes occurring in the organs of the reproductive system.
In medicine, discharge from the urethra during sexual stimulation is called libidinal urethrorhoea.
The amount of secretions can vary, as can their nature.When an erection occurs, a clear fluid of medium thickness usually comes out of the urethra.The amount and duration of release depends on the severity of sexual excitement.
Important: in men, the excited discharge contains active spermatozoa (in small quantities), which can penetrate the woman's vagina and fertilize the ovum.
Therefore, representatives of the stronger sex should be careful if their partner's pregnancy is not planned.
In some situations, the amount of discharge is too abundant, and this may indicate the development of diseases of the urogenital tract.We try to figure out which phenomena can be considered deviations from the norm and which should not cause concern.
Pathological conditions
The condition of the urinary system can be assessed by assessing the urethral discharge in men.
The appearance of uncharacteristic discharge from the urethra is often a symptom of the development of pathological disorders.In addition, some diseases can be suspected solely on this basis, as other specific phenomena may be absent.In light of this, it is important to pay attention to possible changes in the quality and quantity of the released secretion.
Non-specific discharge in men during excitement or at rest often indicates the development of the following pathologies:
- Inflammatory processes in the urogenital tract caused by opportunistic microorganisms or infectious agents.
- Diseases transmitted through the genital tract (STDs).
- Oncological pathologies.
- Complications after surgery.
- Consequences of damage to the urogenital system.

The discharge from the urethra can be scanty, moderate or abundant.It may also contain blood or pus.The color of the liquid can also be different - transparent, yellowish, greenish, etc.The consistency of the discharge (thick or liquid), like other characteristics, depends on the nature of the origin of the disorder and the type of pathogen.There are also factors such as the severity of the inflammatory process, the state of the immune system and the presence of concomitant diseases.
Sticky, transparent discharge in men in an excited or resting state may indicate the following infectious pathologies: mycoplasmosis, chlamydia, ureaplasmosis.This abnormal discharge contains a high percentage of leukocytes.During the complicated course of these diseases, purulent impurities are found in the exudate.When chlamydia develops, the fluid builds up and sticks to the head of the penis, sticking the foreskin together.
Atypical secretions are often the result of other infectious pathologies.We are talking about candidiasis, staphylococcus or streptococcus, E. coli and so on.Men are worried not only about the strange discharge, but also about other signs of damage - itching, hyperemia, swelling of the tissues of the external genital organs.
The following factors can cause the appearance of pathological discharge:
- non-gonorrheal urethritis;
- hematorrhea;
- prostatorrhea;
- balanoposthitis;
- spermatorrhoea.
If men notice a change in the nature of urethral secretions, they should definitely seek the advice of a professional, be examined and, if necessary, receive appropriate treatment.
Normal conditions
To differentiate between pathological discharge and physiological discharge, you need to know what is considered normal.
- Libidinal urethrorhoea- that is, secretions formed as a result of sexual stimulation.
- Semen- fluid coming out of the urethra during ejaculation.Such discharge is white in color and contains a high percentage of sperm and secretions from the gonads.Sperm are produced during orgasm, at the end of sexual intercourse, during masturbation or during wet dreams.
- Smegma- secretion secreted by glands in the glans area.Smegma does not appear in men who regularly perform hygienic procedures and keep their penis clean.
Conclusion
So, we found out that the discharge that occurs during excitement in men is a natural physiological phenomenon, and we also figured out what should be alarming and what causes you to see a specialist.
It is recommended for representatives of the stronger sex to regularly perform preventive examinations by a urologist and pay attention to their health!
