Discharge during arousal in men is a natural physiological reaction of the body. They are usually clear, without pungent odors, rather thick and sticky. The amount of liquid depends on the characteristics of the human reproductive system and can vary from a few drops to 4-5 mg.
Partners who are not planning pregnancy should be aware that mucus contains active sperm. Therefore, it is necessary to use protective means even when intercourse is interrupted.
The usual hidden bright color, no unusual taste. The texture is medium dense. There are no impurities in the secretions.
The natural secretions produced during intercourse are called semen. It consists of germ cells and mucus. It has a thick texture and white color. After ejaculation, it comes out of the penis.
What is considered normal
After a night's sleep or during arousal, a small amount of clear mucus is secreted from the head of the male penis, which is medically called libidinal urethrhoea. The function of this lubricant includes several important tasks. Thus, it facilitates the movement of the penis when entering the vagina during intercourse. Another useful property of this viscous fluid is its ability to neutralize the acidic environment that is harmful to spermatozoa. With the help of pre-ejaculatory secretions, nature has ensured that uric acid residues are flushed from the walls of the male and female urethra. And during sexual intercourse, the natural mucus protects the sperm from the aggressive environment of the vagina.
Clear lubricant also contains smegma. This is the name of the oil-like substance secreted by the glands of the foreskin. Its main function is to ensure a safe exit of the glans penis from the folds of the preputial sac during stimulation. However, if this useful mucus is not removed in time, it mixes with the dead epithelium and becomes a habitat for various pathogens. Therefore, representatives of the stronger sex at any age should carefully follow hygiene procedures, change underwear every day, use condoms during casual sex.
Men with libidinal urethrhoea, what else should they do to maintain a healthy fluid? For this, it is necessary to eat properly, to exclude alcoholic drinks, fast food, fatty, salty and smoked foods from the diet. It is also necessary to exercise regularly to activate all metabolic processes, and if the color, smell or consistency of the lubricant changes, consult a doctor. Every young man should abstain from promiscuous sex, but he should not be abstinent for a long period of time in his life.
When to worry
Any changes in the characteristics of the mucus, during which they are removed, should be returned to the notice of the man and cause to contact a specialist. Often, due to unusual secretions, dangerous diseases of reproductive, reproductive and excretory systems can be detected at an early stage. If there is no fluid at all or the ejaculate is greenish in color and has a strong putrid smell, you should immediately consult a doctor. Another negative factor of abnormality is the formation of blood impurities and curd deposits in the clear mucus.
Why does discharge turn gray-green when arousal? Thus, the body can respond to the development of the inflammatory process in the pelvic area. The following accompanying symptoms can confirm this diagnosis:
- Increase in body temperature.
- Abdominal pain.
- Swelling of the skin.
- A restless discharge of purulent fluid from the urethra.
Viscous clear discharge sometimes indicates infection with infectious diseases: staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus, Escherichia coli. Moreover, they can stand out not only in men, when excited, but also in a calm state of the body. Associated symptoms include:
- Itching of the genitals.
- Hyperemia of the penis.
- Redness of the external genitalia.
- Swelling of the limbs.
Similar pathological processes are observed in the body during the male period and during the period of rest, when sexually transmitted diseases are transmitted. It is possible to find out how much the composition deviates from the norm by means of a preliminary ejaculate diagnostic test.
Urgent consultation with a doctor is necessary for men, who are currently irritated by irritating white spots with an irritated nature. Thus, candidiasis appears - a fungal disease, the causative agent of which is the milk fungus Candida. This microorganism is usually a part of the human microflora, but with a decrease in immunity, it begins to multiply intensively, leaving a white secretive coating on the penis and in the fluid released during arousal.
Probability of conception
Many couples are interested in the question of whether conception is possible with interrupted intercourse, that is, whether there are enough sperm in the mucus for successful fertilization. Experts do not rule out the possibility of pregnancy from the clear liquid that is released during waking up. After all, it is impossible to accurately calculate how many sperm cells are released before the ejaculate. Therefore, the more active spermatozoa a man has, the greater their number will be in the libidinal urethra.
What factors increase the likelihood of conception? First of all - days of ovulation of a woman. If the interruption of intercourse occurs when the cervical canal opens, the egg matures and leaves the follicle, a single spermatozoon released along with the clear mucus can carry out fertilization. It should be clarified that this process is not the norm, and such cases are described very rarely.
Another factor that increases the chance of pregnancy is repeated intercourse. Thus, drops of spermatozoa always remain in the passage of the male urethra, and during the next intimacy they are released together with mucus. To reduce this possibility, a man should only empty his bladder between sex. The acidic fluid of the urine neutralizes the remainder of the semen, and subsequent discharges are agitated and rendered almost harmless again.
Remember that any type of abortion is very harmful to a woman's body. Therefore, if pregnancy is not part of your plan, take contraceptives or use all forms of protection (condom, IUD, vaginal cover). And if the composition of mucus released during irritation is far from normal, that is, if it has a special structure, smell, blood or curd stains, then there is a high risk of contracting infectious or fungal diseases.
Ejaculation during arousal is a natural process that helps keep sperm active. The color, size, smell and consistency of the fluid can tell a lot about a person's health. This visual deviation from the norm can be a reason to consult a doctor and detect the disease at an early stage, while other symptoms have not yet been fully noticed. Therefore, all representatives of the stronger sex should not only take care of the hygiene of the external genitalia, but also observe all changes in the secreted fluid in time.
When asked why it is necessary to wear a condom when interrupting sexual intercourse, experts answer that the mucus contains sperm and this can lead to unplanned birth. To prevent this, it is necessary to take care of protective equipment, especially at the beginning of the ovulation period.
