Men sooner or later have some questions about their health. Erectile problems can occur at any age. Nowadays, specialists are increasingly faced with complaints about the state of erection in young people under the age of 25. From this it can be seen that the problem has "rejuvenated" significantly. Erectile dysfunction occurs for various reasons: stress, overload, diseases of the cardiovascular system, unhealthy lifestyle, hormonal imbalance, unhealthy diet. A man can identify some pathologies himself- by the type of discharge during an erection, because a timely call for help from a doctor guarantees a full, painless treatment.
Normal discharge when excited
Discharge in men from the penis during arousal before intercourse is perfectly normal. The release of secretions when an erection is stimulated is known in medicine as libidinal urethrorhea. The quantity and quality of such secretions can be completely different depending on the characteristics of the organism of a particular person.
Normally, when you get an erection, you should see a clear liquid leak out of your 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 it is observed before sexual intercourse begins. It is important to know that such a discharge in men also contains a certain amount of sperm. This means that pregnancy can occur even if intercourse is interrupted.
As is already known, the urethra is a secret that is secreted when exposed to some excitement. It is worth noting that libidinal urethral rhea can be discharged in the morning after waking up. This also applies as a standard for men. Smegma is a secret secreted by a gland on the head of the penis. These secretions are absent in men who carefully monitor personal hygiene. Smegma is made up of fat secreted by the sebum glands. The secret gathers under the skin of the glans. It is easy to rinse off when you shower, and a small amount is considered the norm.
If you do not follow the rules of personal hygiene, then smegma begins to actively attract attention during an erection. This is fertile soil for many pathogenic microorganisms to multiply. And such a pathogenic microflora can cause various complications in intimate life. During ejaculation, sperm are expelled from the urethra. After that, the erection usually subsides and disappears entirely. Semen contains a large amount of sperm, the secret of the sex glands. The color of this secret is usually white. If sperm does not come out during intercourse, it indicates serious problems with potency. Usually, ejaculation should occur no later than an hour after sexual intercourse has started.
Pathological discharge
Sometimes too much urethral discharge during an erection can indicate an abnormality. Some diseases are accurately diagnosed by the nature of the pathological discharge. In fact, very often men do not experience any other symptoms. That is why it is very important for young people to be aware of changes of all kinds.
So, a discharge that goes beyond the normal range can 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 secreted in men during an erection may be too short or, conversely, too big. Also in pathology, the color and consistency of this secret play an important role. As a rule, a discharge that is too thick or too fluid is considered unacceptable. In this case, the color may not be white, but yellow, gray, and tinged with green. Blood or pus contamination may be present. If the secret is transparent, but thick and drawing, then we can talk about the presence of such diseases as mycoplasmosis, ureaplasmosis and chlamydia.
In this case, if you pass laboratory tests, too many leukocytes are detected. If the disease is in a severe, advanced form, pus is observed in the discharge. In a disease like chlamydia, the discharge collects on the glans and sticks to the foreskin.
Not less rare, a pathological discharge occurs during an erection against the background of other diseases:
- Candidiasis;
- Staphylococcus aureus;
- Streptococci;
- Escherichia coli.
At the same time, young people complain not only of pathological discharge during erection, but also of itching, burning and 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 a pathology, it is important to consult a doctor in a timely manner. The specialist will prescribe the correct treatment. This will help avoid possible complications.
Discharge may or may not be the norm during an erection
During an erection, discharge often bothers men and their sexual partners. Not really understanding what an erection in men means, some men worry about a lack of knowledge in this area. Others are concerned about the case as the discharge may be linked to various illnesses.
Physiological norm of discharge during erection
During an erection, a healthy man's body produces transparent mucus - urethra. This colorless discharge of mucus from the urethra is normal and acts as a lubricant to improve the passage of semen through the urethra. The excretion of secretions can be extremely meager and quite abundant. It depends on the individual characteristics of physical activity and the intensity of sexual activity. With a longer abstinence, an increase in the volume of discharge is noted.
Pathological discharge during erection
If there are secretions during an erection that have not been previously observed, do not get carried away with honey for an erection or other types of self-medication. You need to see a doctor. It is worth paying attention to such deviations from the norm:
- Discharge is accompanied by pain or discomfort;
- the flow rate has changed significantly up or down;
- Impurities (blood, pus, and others) appeared in the discharge;
- Change in consistency (becoming stickier or thicker);
- the appearance of odor in the vaginal discharge.
The causes of the appearance of pathological discharge can be inflammatory processes of the urethra, infection and mechanical damage. For the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the reproductive system, a man needs to trust a specialist. If infectious factors of the appearance of discharge during erection are detected (trichomoniasis, chlamydia, ureaplasmosis, mycoplasmosis, candidiasis, gonorrhea), treatment is also prescribed to a man's constant sexual partner to exclude re-infection. During an erection, the discharge of a pathological nature must not differ from the physiologically normal appearance.
The discharge from the penis during arousal is characteristic of the normal functioning of the reproductive system. And its change is a signal of a serious illness that needs treatment. Self-medication without tests and doctors can only make the situation worse, make diagnosis by a specialist doctor and the choice of treatment in the future more difficult.

Discharge during erection in men
In men, discharge often comes in the form of a liquid (in limited quantities) during erection, which can vary in color and consistency. Discharge comes from the urethra or preputial gland and is normal if the amount, color, and smell don't make you think otherwise.
If the secretion is atypical, then you should think about your state of health and see a specialist, as this can be the first symptom of a serious illness.
Secretion during erection in men, which indicates normal health
A common indicator for assessing the health of the genitourinary system is the physiological discharge from the urethra:
- urethrorrhea - during an erection, a transparent secret is produced that contains a small number of germ cells;
- Smegma - produced by the sebum glands under the skin of the glans penis (washed off during hygiene).
Secretion of a pathological nature
The appearance of secretions that are not due to normal and physiological values indicates the presence of inflammatory processes in the body. They can have both infectious and non-infectious causes.
The main types of infectious diseases due to which pathological secretion occurs are:
- Chlamydia;
- Candidiasis;
- Gonorrhea;
- Genital herpes;
- Trichomoniasis;
- Ureaplasmosis;
- Mycoplasmosis.
Non-infectious factors can also provoke such secretion, namely:
- Damage to the urethra from mechanical stress;
- allergic reaction;
- Taking medication or other chemical substances;
- Narrowing of the lumen of the urethra.
Typology of discharge during erection in men
All erectile discharges in men can be different in color and transparency. These indicators can be used to draw initial conclusions about the presence of processes that are unusual for a healthy body, namely:
- cloudy - directly indicate the presence in the body of an impressive number of pathogenic microorganisms;
- gray with a thick consistency - indicates the presence of dead epithelial tissue;
- green or yellow - is a direct indicator of the presence of inflammatory processes and purulent discharge (in the analyzes there will be an increased level of leukocytes);
- interspersed with blood or clots.
Examination and treatment of atypical discharge during erection
If atypical secretion is detected during an erection, it is necessary to contact a specialist and undergo a comprehensive examination to confirm or rule out the presence of certain diseases.
The initial examination includes:
- visual inspection of the penis;
- palpation and examination of the lymph nodes in the groin;
- Collection of secretions from the prostate for subsequent laboratory tests.
A preliminary diagnosis can be made based on the data from laboratory tests and initial examination. If this data is not sufficient, the following manipulations are also carried out:
- TANK sowing;
- general blood analysis;
- general urinalysis;
- Ultrasound of the pelvic organs and prostate;
- Tomography.
