Ejaculation from the genitals can bother not only girls, but also men. Men have normal odorless discharge. Their source is the urethra. In women, discharge is called leucorrhoea. If you notice abnormal discharge, make an in-person appointment with a urologist right away.
Normal or pathological?
The urethra is the male urethra. From there they appear from time to time. There is such a thing as urethrorrhea. It can be physiological or libidinal. A clear discharge is visible from the urethral outlet. This happens in the morning, right after waking up or when a man has sex.
Urethrorrhea can be more or less pronounced. The lubricant released during arousal contains sperm. Therefore, if you do not want to have children yet, you should protect yourself even during foreplay with the genitals. In men, ejaculation helps sperm pass through the urethra and into the partner's vagina. After all, the environment there is acidic, and this is harmful to the life of sperm.
Pathological discharge
Physiological ejaculation that normally occurs in boys and men is described above. Here we will look at discharges related to health problems. Pathological discharge from the urethra mainly bothers menfor urethritis. This is an inflammatory process that develops in the urethra. Urethritis can be caused by infection or non-infectious factors.
Infection can be specific or non-specific. In particular, it is mainly trichomoniasis or gonorrhea. Anon-specific urethritisThe following pathogens can cause:
- mycoplasma
- ureaplasma
- chlamydia
- herpes
- staphylococcus
- streptococcus
Non-infectious causes of urethritisand associated discharge from the genital tract:
- trauma, narrowing of the urethra
- irritation with chemical factors
- mechanical damage to the mucous membrane
- the effect of allergens
In men, the discharge from the genitals can be different in color and transparency. It depends on how active the inflammation is, what stage it is in, and what flora is causing it.Penile discharge includes::
- slime
- fluid
- cells of different origins
If the last-named component is abundant, the discharge becomes cloudy, which can be visually observed by the person himself. If a large number of epithelial cells are seen in the exudate, the exudate becomes thick and takes on a gray color.
If you find yourselfyellow-green, greenish or yellowish dischargeMost likely, they contain many leukocytes. This means that the discharge contains purulent masses that are the result of the inflammatory process. With the same disease, discharge can be of different thickness, amount and nature. For example, at the beginning of the disease, they may be thicker, then gradually become more liquid. This is such an individual process that the doctor will not be able to identify your disease during the examination and you will have to undergo a series of tests.
Ejaculation in menWhitemay have various reasons. The first thing that doctors assume is the spread of Candida fungi. The disease is called accordingly -. You've probably heard that women get liver disease. Men also have it, but it's more insidious. However, in rare cases, white discharge from the genitals may occur.
Discharge with smell
The first possible reason (and the most harmless) is poor hygiene. As mentioned above, smegma is a normal (non-disease) male discharge. If you do not wash regularly at least once a day, smegma accumulates, bacteria multiply and cause unpleasant odors. These smells can be different for different men.
If you follow good hygiene practices and still have an unpleasant odor, your doctor may suspect a metabolic disorder. In such cases, the most common cause is diabetes. Smegma will be released in quite large quantities, so the laundry will be wet.
Infections are also the cause of smelly discharge in men. The pathological process mainly occurs in the urethra. Your doctor may suspect urethritis due to a gonorrhea infection. The nature of discharge is described above. If the discharge from the penis in men has a sour smell, it is likely that candidiasis of the genitourinary organs is developing.
Bloody discharge in men
The main cause is infections. The discharge may be completely bloody or contain streaks of blood. If the infection multiplies in the urethra, then you will see such a symptom, but not necessarily. Urethritis is mainly caused by candida, trichomonas or gonorrhea infection in such cases. The stronger the inflammation, the more blood is released.
Blood may be due to chronic inflammation of the urethra. The essence of the process is that the mucous membrane of the urethra is loosened. If the irritant acts, the membrane is damaged and bleeding begins. Even urination can be irritating.
A second likely cause is careless medical procedures. The urethra is damaged, so blood is released. Procedures that can damage the urethra:
- catheter installation
- catheter removal
- bougienage
- to take a stain
- cystoscopy
Bleeding occurs immediately. It should be noted that at this time the blood is red, does not clot and stops quickly.
The passage of stones and sand is another cause of bloody discharge from the penis. They are excreted from the kidneys or bladder and pass through the urethra. Microliths are hard, they damage the mucous membrane and walls of blood vessels, which is the direct cause of bleeding. Pain also occurs.
Bleeding with semen
Such discharge is called "hematospermia". It can be true or false. If hematospermia is false, blood mixes with sperm as it passes through the urethra. If this pathology is true, then blood mixes with sperm before passing through the urethra.
Hematospermia is manifested by the following symptoms:(clinical picture):
- urinary disorders
- pain during ejaculation
- discomfort and pain in the lower back
- pain and/or swelling in the genitals
- high body temperature
Causes of bleeding with semen:
- long-term sexual abstinence
- excessively active sexual life (blood vessel walls break during coitus)
- varicose veins of the pelvic organs
- stones in testicles and vas deferens
- malignant and benign formations in the genitourinary organs
- biopsy
- genital surgery
If you notice a discharge from your genitals that does not go away within a day or two, see an experienced doctor immediately. If ejaculation appears after unprotected sex, there is no need to sound the alarm, but you should go to the doctor and undergo an examination as soon as possible. Cheers to you and your significant other!
In men, the discharge from the genitals is from the urethra (urethra) and discharge.
Variants of physiological secretions
Normal discharge criteria,corresponds to the functions of the organs of the genitourinary system:
Urine - transparent, straw to golden yellow, practically odorless, does not contain flakes or other inclusions;Prostate secret it has a viscous consistency and a whitish color, it has a specific sperm smell;Ejaculation: sperm from the ejaculatory duct mixes with the secretions of the Littre (urethral), Cooper (bulbourethral) glands and prostate secretions, acquires a gray-white color and mucous consistency;Fresh smegma appears as a thick white smear from the preputial glands; it may turn yellowish or greenish over time.
Pre-lubrication -
Urethrorrhoea, slimy, colorless dischargefrom the bulbourethral and urethral glands. They appear only with libido-related excitement. The discharge of clear mucus aims to lubricate the urethra and improve the passage of sperm. The amount of secretion varies from little to abundant, these parameters depend on the individual characteristics of the body and the frequency of sexual activity. After prolonged abstinence, the volume of discharge increases.
Emission - spontaneous release of sperm, not related to sex. It is usually observed in the morning, when testosterone levels rise. It depends on age and the intensity of sexual activity: it appears in boys during puberty, in adult men - with irregular or rare intercourse.
Prostatorrhea, discharge of a small amount of clear mucus from the urethrawith grayish-white inclusions. It occurs after straining the abdominal muscles (for example, with constipation) or after urinating. The secretion consists of a mixture of seminal fluid and prostatic secretion; increased volume and cloudiness may be a sign of prostatitis.
Pathological discharge
The causes of discharge from the genital organs in men can be sexually transmitted diseases, tumors, non-specific inflammation of the urogenital organs, various injuries, medical procedures or operations.
Pathological discharge from the urethra differs from normal:
- Volume (too much or little, maybe medium);
- According to color and transparency (white to yellow-green, cloudy);
- With impurities (blood, pus, pieces of mucus);
- consistency (too liquid or too thick and sticky);
- By smell (sour, rotten, fishy);
- According to the frequency of appearance (constant or episodic discharge depending on the time of day);
- Related to urination, sexual arousal, alcohol consumption, hot and spicy food.
The nature of the discharge depends on the causative agent of the disease, the state of the immune system and accompanying diseases., as well as the severity and duration of inflammation (acute or chronic).
If there is a change in the amount, density, or color of the discharge, or if an unpleasant odor appears, it is recommended to consult a doctor and conduct tests. There is no point in self-diagnosis, it is very difficult to correctly recognize the disease based on only one symptom.
STD-related penile ejaculation
slimy: clear discharge, viscous and small, occurs in chronic form or urethritis. Microscopy reveals a moderate amount of leukocytes in discharge (the norm is up to 4 cells in the visual field).
Mucopulent: white discharge, clear; It is observed in the acute phase of chlamydia, ureaplasmosis and mycoplasmosis. With chlamydia infection, it collects at the head of the penis, as if it "sticks" to the skin.
Purulent discharge, with an unpleasant smell, is characteristic. They are sticky, thick, yellow or greenish in color and have a putrid smell. Under the microscope, epithelial cells of the urethra and many leukocytes are visible in the material.
Symptoms accompanying gonorrheal urethritis: constant and heavy discharge; especially strong when urinating.
With sexually transmitted diseases, combined infections combining several pathogens at once are often observed. Gonorrhea and chlamydia usually occur "in pairs" accompanied by mycoplasmosis and ureaplasmosis. The symptoms of such diseases differ from the classic manifestations, and the urethral discharge can take on a completely different character. Therefore, modern analytical methods with a high degree of reliability are used for the final diagnosis, not the characteristics of the secretions.
Non-specific (non-venomous) inflammation
The cause of non-specific inflammation is the patient's own microflora, which is classified as opportunistic and is activated only when there are problems with the body's immune defense. Strepto- and staphylococci, fungi of the genus
Ejaculation not associated with inflammation
Spermatorea - secretion in the form of passively flowing sperm,occurs without the feeling of orgasm, outside of sexual intercourse or masturbation. The causes are some diseases of the nervous system, spinal injuries, chronic stress and any long-term inflammation of the genitals. Spermatozoa are associated with impaired innervation and decreased tone of the vas deferens.
hematorrhea,bloody matters. It is often seen with injuries of the urethral canal
The discharge is brown, appears with malignant tumors arising from the prostate, urethra or bladder with clots of blood or mucus mixed with pus. Brown mucus may form on the mucous membranes during wound healing and is released during urethral and/or bladder polyposis.
Prostatorrhea- secretion of the prostate gland flowing from the urethra. In chronic prostatitis, prostate adenoma, innervation disturbance (
Examination algorithm for the presence of pathological discharge from the penis
- Examination of the perineum, genitals, foreskin and glans.The purpose is to remove genital deformities, injury marks, external signs of inflammation, discharges, rashes, etc. Discharge marks are sometimes noticeable on underwear.
- Palpation of inguinal lymph nodes, assessment of their condition:size, warmer or colder than the surrounding tissue, painful or painless, soft or firm, mobile or fused to the skin, whether ulcerated or not.
- digital examination of the prostate gland;massage the prostate through the rectum and obtain secretions for microscopic examination. It is recommended to refrain from urinating for 1-2 hours before the massage. With prostate adenoma, its lobes grow almost evenly, dense cords are palpable. Uneven growths and their consistency are characteristic of a malignant tumor, during palpation of the prostate, clotted blood may come out of the urethra.
- Material - for the microscope.When examined under a microscope, blood cells, epithelium, sperm, fat inclusions and some pathogens (Escherichia coli, gonococci, gardnerella, yeast) are detected in the stained smear.
An increase in the number of white blood cells characteristic of acute urethritis or exacerbation of chronic inflammation,eosinophils - for urethritis with allergies.Red blood cells found in severe inflammation, tumors, genitourinary lesions and urolithiasis.A large amount of epithelium - a sign of chronic urethritis, urethral leukoplakia. When spermatorrhea is detected in the smearspermatozoa , with urethrhoea -slime , simpler -lipid granules . - General clinical blood test,
blood for sugar - in the morning, on an empty stomach.Detailed urinalysis (morning part, right after sleep). - Ultrasound of the prostate gland, bladder and kidneys; CT and urography.
If the manifestations of genital inflammation are severe, the patient is immediately prescribed broad-spectrum antibiotics before receiving the test results. In case of severe bleeding, hospitalization and active measures to stop the bleeding are indicated. The suspicion of a malignant tumor can be confirmed only by the result of a biopsy, the final diagnosis is made on the basis of histological examination.
Important:
- Penile discharge is only one symptom that cannot be used as a guide in making a diagnosis.
- Unacceptableindependent prescription of drugs. drugs, even if the manifestations seem obvious for a certain disease.
Normal amount of mucus
The volume of pre-ejaculation directly depends on the degree of arousal of the boy. Maximum concentration is achieved with strong sexual desire.The normal amount of liquid is 5 ml.
Some representatives of the stronger sex are physiologically unable to secrete lubricant. Absence of pre-ejaculation during erection reduces the ability to conceive.
Healthy pre-ejaculation has the following characteristics:
Pre-seed performs cleaning functions, so its consistency can vary. A man may experience repeated intercourse, lack of hygiene, or lube fogging before ejaculation. It will return to normal in 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 ones in terms of color, smell and consistency. They are almost always accompanied by unpleasant feelings.
Signs that indicate the deviation of the oil from the norm:
These signs are characteristic of pathological processes that indicate the development of diseases.
Unhealthy discharge in men is divided into types:
| Kind | Description |
|---|---|
| Spermatorrhea | Accidental leakage of sperm without reaching orgasm. The reason for the process is a decrease in the muscle tone of the vas deferens. It develops due to pathological chronic inflammation |
| Haematorrhea | Discharge of lubricant mixed with blood. It appears with damage to the mucosa of the urethra |
| Leukocytic ureterrhoea | The exudative stage of the inflammatory process caused by thermal, mechanical, chemical or viral damage to the mucous membrane of the urethra. |
| Mucopulent | They consist of a small number of leukocytes, serous fluid and gland secretions. This mucus is characterized by active formation at night. A man sees pus discharge in the morning, and yellow spots can be found on his underwear. Mucopurulent discharge appears when the urethra is damaged by bacteria: trichomonas, ureamicoplasma, chlamydia |
| Purulent | These include large numbers of leukocytes, urethral epithelium, mucus and serous fluid. They have a thick consistency and an unpleasant smell. They appear as drops of yellow or greenish color. Evidence of the development of gonococcal urethritis formed against the background of chlamydia and gonorrhea |
The volume of mucus released can be large or small. Poor lubrication can be quite difficult to spot. To do this, you need to press the urethra so that the liquid comes out of the opening. It dries quickly, forming a film on the membrane of the penis head. The viscous consistency causes the urethral sponges to stick together.
Causes of pathological discharge
Abnormal lubrication is most often due to sexually transmitted diseases, but there are a number of other conditions as well.
Sexually transmitted diseases
If pathological discharge appears with unpleasant symptoms, the development of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) should be suspected. Such diseases develop under the influence of unfavorable microflora located in the mucous membrane of the urinary tract, external areas and cavities of the genital organs, and glands.
What changes indicate the disease?
Various changes in pre-ejaculatory indicators are of concern. Reasons to immediately consult a specialist are:
- A change in the color of the liquid - it can be grayish with a green or yellow color (indicating the presence of purulent contents).
- Blood impurities.
- Cloudiness.
- A curd-like consistency.
- Unpleasant, musty smell.
These symptoms indicate an inflammatory process. The following symptoms often appear:
- Pain in the lower abdomen.
- Frequent urge to go to the toilet.
- Heat.
- Hyperemia of skin areas.
- The appearance of purulent discharge from the urethra during rest (in the absence of sexual arousal).
During surgical operations on the prostate gland and other organs of the genitourinary system, with the development of postoperative complications, mucus can be released from the urethra.
The release of clear liquid in the absence of erection is one of the signs of pathology, its causative agent is streptococci, staphylococci and E. coli. A similar situation is observed when infected with sexually transmitted infections. Note in such cases:
- Hyperemia of external reproductive organs.
- Itching sensation in the penis and scrotum.
- Swelling of the lower extremities.
If a man sees cheesy inclusions in pre-ejaculation, he should immediately consult a qualified doctor, because this indicates the presence of candidiasis. This inflammatory disease is caused by fungi of the genus Candida, an opportunistic microflora. Under normal conditions, they exist in the body without causing any harm. The influence of negative external factors and weakened immunity contribute to the rapid spread of fungi and their transformation into pathogenic form.
Few sperm are found in pre-ejaculate, which makes conception possible. Therefore, if the couple is not planning pregnancy, they should take contraceptive pills or protect themselves in some other way, not only during sexual intercourse, but also during foreplay.
Other reasons
The prostate gland plays a key role in the production of sperm. It produces a secretion, without which the seminal fluid loses its functionality. When the prostate is inflamed, its production increases.
Men with chronic prostatitis may notice a large amount of lubricant coming out of the urethral opening when aroused. This is a prostatic secretion that has a fairly high similarity with pre-ejaculation.
Excessive discharge during excitement can be seen with the development of various inflammatory processes.
After probing, the appearance of clear mucus from the urethra can be observed. This liquid is formed as a protective reaction of the body to microtraumas on the surface of the mucous membrane.
A large amount of clear discharge during discharge may indicate the development of infertility.
To diagnose pathologies, not only the visual nature of the liquid, but also its biological composition is taken into account. A man should consult a doctor for examination.
