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 erection status of young people under 25 years of age. From this it can be seen that the problem has been "rejuvenated" significantly. 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 himself, by the nature of the discharge during an erection. After all, a timely appeal to a doctor for help guarantees full-blown painless treatment.
Normal discharge from 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 urethrorrhea. 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 fluid 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 excitement and desire, the more fluid it is observed before the start of intercourse. It is important to know that even this discharge in men contains a certain amount of sperm. This means that even with the interruption of intercourse, pregnancy can occur.
As is known, urethrorhea is a secret that is secreted when exposed to a certain degree of excitement. It is worth noting that the libidinal urethra can discharge in the morning after waking up. This is also considered the norm for men. Smegma is a secret secreted by a gland located on 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 is easily rinsed off while showering, and a small amount is considered the norm.
If you do not follow the rules of personal hygiene, the 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 intimate life. Sperm are secreted from the urethra during ejaculation. After that, as a rule, the erection weakens and disappears completely. Sperm contain a large number of sperm, the secret of the sex glands. The color of this secret is usually white. If there is no sperm secretion during intercourse, this indicates serious potency problems. Normally, ejaculation should occur no later than one hour after the start of intercourse.
Pathological discharge
Sometimes too much discharge from the urethra during an erection can indicate a deviation. Some diseases are diagnosed precisely by the nature of the pathological discharge. In fact, very often there are no other symptoms in men. That is why it is very important that young people are attentive to all kinds of changes.
So a 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 can be too little, or vice versa, too much. Also, in pathology, the color and consistency of this secret plays an important role. As a general rule, discharge that is too thick or runny is considered unacceptable. In this case, the color may not be white, but yellow, gray, with a greenish tint. There may be impurities of blood or pus. If the secret is transparent, but thick and tight, we can talk about the presence of diseases such as mycoplasmosis, ureaplasmosis, chlamydia.
Passing laboratory tests, in this case, too many leukocytes are established. If the disease is severe and advanced, pus is seen in the discharge. In the presence of a disease such as chlamydia, the discharge accumulates on the head of the penis and sticks 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 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 genitalia, 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.
During an erection, discharge is the norm or not
During an erection, the discharge often bothers men and their sexual partners. Without really understanding what an erection means in men, some men worry about a lack of knowledge in this area. Others are concerned about the case, since discharge may be associated with various diseases.
Physiological norm of discharge during erection.
During an erection, a healthy man's body produces clear mucus - urethrhea. This colorless mucous discharge from the urethral glands is normal and serves as a lubricant to improve the passage of semen through the urethra. The amount of secretions excreted can be extremely meager and quite abundant. It depends on the individual characteristics of the body's activity and the intensity of sexual activity. An increase in secretion volume is noted with prolonged abstinence.
Pathological discharge during erection.
With the appearance of secretions during an erection, which have not been observed before, do not get carried away by honey for an erection or another type of self-medication. You need to go to the doctor. It is worth paying attention to such deviations from the norm:
- discharge is accompanied by pain or discomfort;
- the amount of discharge has changed significantly up or down;
- impurities (blood, pus and others) appeared in the discharge;
- change in consistency (becomes stickier or thicker);
- the appearance of odor in the discharge.
The causes of the appearance of pathological secretions can be inflammatory processes of the urethra, infections and mechanical damage. For the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the reproductive system, a man must rely on a specialist. If infectious factors of the appearance of discharge during erection (trichomoniasis, chlamydia, ureaplasmosis, mycoplasmosis, candidiasis, gonorrhea) are detected, treatment is also prescribed to a man's permanent sexual partner to exclude reinfection. During an erection, the discharge of a pathological nature may not differ from the physiologically normal appearance.
Discharge from the penis during arousal is characteristic of the normal functioning of the reproductive system. And its change is a sign of a serious illness that needs treatment. Self-medication without tests and doctors can only aggravate the situation, create difficulties in the diagnosis by a specialist and the choice of treatment in the future.

Discharge during erection in men
Often, the discharge during erection in men is in the form of liquid (in a limited amount), which can be of different color and consistency. The discharge comes from the urethra or the preputial gland and is normal if the amount, color, and odor do not lead you to believe otherwise.
If the discharge is atypical, then you need to think about your state of health and contact a specialist, as this may be the first symptom of a serious illness.
Discharge during erection in men, indicating normal health.
A common indicator for evaluating the health of the genitourinary system is the physiological discharge from the urethra:
- urethorrhea - during an erection, a transparent secret is produced, containing a small number of germ cells;
- smegma: produced by the sebaceous glands under the skin of the head of the penis (washed off during hygiene procedures).
Secretion of a pathological nature.
The appearance of discharge, which cannot be attributed to normal and physiological, indicates the presence of inflammatory processes in the body. They can be caused by both infectious and non-infectious causes.
The main types of infectious diseases, due to which pathological discharge occurs, are:
- chlamydia;
- candidiasis;
- gonorrhea;
- Genital herpes;
- trichomoniasis;
- ureaplasmosis;
- mycoplasmosis.
Non-infectious factors can also cause such discharge, namely:
- damage to the urethra due to mechanical stress;
- allergic reactions;
- taking medications or other chemicals;
- narrowing of the lumen of the urethra.
Typology of discharge during erection in men.
The whole discharge from erection in men can be different in color and transparency. Already according to these indicators, the first conclusions can be drawn about the presence of unusual processes for a healthy body, namely:
- cloudy - directly indicates the presence in the body of an impressive number of pathogenic microorganisms;
- gray with a thick consistency - indicates the presence of dead epithelial tissues;
- green or yellow - it 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 bloody clots.
Examination and treatment of atypical discharge during erection.
If an atypical discharge is detected during an erection, it is necessary to contact a specialist and undergo a full examination to confirm or exclude the presence of certain diseases.
The initial exam includes:
- visual inspection of the penis;
- palpation and examination of the lymph nodes in the groin;
- collection of secretions from the prostate for further laboratory investigation.
Based on the data from laboratory tests and the initial examination, a preliminary diagnosis can be made. If these data are insufficient, the following manipulations are also carried out:
- TANK-seeding;
- general blood test;
- general urinalysis;
- Pelvic organ and prostate ultrasound;
- tomography.
