Sooner or later, men wonder about their health. Erection problems can occur at any age. Today, specialists are increasingly faced with complaints about the state of erection of young people under the age of 25. It can be deduced that the problem has considerably "rejuvenated". 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-fledged painless treatment.
Normal discharge on excitation
Discharge in men from the penis during arousal, before sexual intercourse is absolutely normal. The release of secretions during the stimulation of an erection in medicine is called libidinal urethrorhea. The quantity and quality of these 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 an average 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 is observed before the start of intercourse. It is important to know that even such a discharge in men contains a certain amount of sperm. This means that even with interrupted sex, pregnancy can occur.
As is already known, urethritis is a secret secreted when exposed to a certain degree of arousal. It is worth noting that the libidinal urethra can be discharged in the morning after waking up. This is also considered the norm for men. The smegma is a secret secreted by a gland located at the head of the penis. These secretions are not present in men who carefully monitor their personal hygiene. Smegma is made up of fat secreted by the sebaceous glands. The secret accumulates under the skin of the glans penis. It rinses off easily when taking a shower, 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. It is a fertile ground for the multiplication of many pathogenic microorganisms. And such pathogenic microflora can lead to various complications in intimate life. Semen is secreted through the urethra during ejaculation. After that, as a rule, the erection weakens and disappears completely. Semen contains a large amount of sperm, the secret of the sex glands. The color of this secret is usually white. If during intercourse there is no outflow of semen, this indicates serious problems with potency. 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 some deviation. Some diseases are diagnosed precisely by the nature of the pathological discharge. Indeed, very often there are no other symptoms in men. That is why it is very important that young people pay attention to all kinds of changes.
So, discharge that exceeds 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 may be too rare, or vice versa, excessive. In addition, in pathology, the color and consistency of this secret play an important role. As a rule, too thick or liquid discharge is considered unacceptable. In this case, the color may not be white, but yellow, gray, with a greenish tint. Blood or pus impurities may be present. If the secret is transparent, but thick and pulling, then we can talk about the presence of such diseases as mycoplasmosis, ureaplasmosis, chlamydia.
Upon successful completion of laboratory tests, in this case, too many leukocytes are established. If the disease is in a severe and advanced form, pus is observed in the discharge. In the presence of a disease such as chlamydia, discharge collects 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 itching, burning, swelling of the tissues of the penis. An abnormal secret does not always indicate the presence of problems with 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 genitals. As soon as a man discovers a pathology, it is important to consult a doctor in a timely manner. The specialist will prescribe the most correct treatment for you. This will prevent possible complications.
During an erection, discharge is the norm or not
During an erection, the discharge often bothers men and their sexual partners. Not fully 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 losses can be associated with various illnesses.
Physiological norm of discharge during erection
During an erection, a man's healthy body produces transparent mucus - urethrorhea. This colorless mucous discharge from the urethral glands is normal and serves as a lubricant to improve the passage of semen into the urethra. The amount of secretions excreted can be extremely meager and quite abundant. It depends on the individual characteristics of the activity of the body and the intensity of sexual activity. An increase in the volume of discharge is noted with prolonged abstinence.
Pathological discharge during erection
With the appearance of secretions during an erection, which were not observed before, do not get carried away with honey for an erection or other types of self-medication. You need to see a doctor. Attention should be paid to such deviations from the norm:
- the 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 (becoming stickier or thicker);
- the appearance of odors in the discharge.
The causes of the appearance of pathological discharge can be inflammatory processes of the urethra, infections and mechanical damage. For the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the reproductive system, a man should 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 the permanent sexual partner of a man to exclude reinfection. During an erection, the discharge of a pathological nature may not differ from a physiologically normal appearance.
The discharge from the penis during arousal is characteristic of the normal functioning of the reproductive system. And their change is the signal for a serious illness that needs treatment. Self-medication without tests and doctors can only worsen 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 a liquid (in a limited amount), which can be of different color and consistency. The 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 contact a specialist, as this can be the first symptom of a serious illness.
Secretion during erection in men, indicating a normal state of 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, which contains a small number of germ cells;
- smegma - produced by the sebaceous glands under the skin of the head of the penis (washed out during hygienic procedures).
Secretion of a pathological nature
The appearance of a secretion, which can not be attributed to normal and physiology, indicates the presence of inflammatory processes in the body. They can be caused by 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 cause such a secretion, namely:
- damage to the urethra due to mechanical stress;
- allergic reactions;
- take drugs or other chemicals;
- narrowing of the lumen of the urethra.
Typology of discharge during erection in men
All erection discharges in men can be of different color and transparency. Already according to these indicators, one can draw the first conclusions 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 tissue;
- green or yellow - is a direct indicator of the presence of inflammatory processes and purulent discharge (in analyzes there will be an increase in the level of leukocytes);
- interspersed with blood or blood clots.
Examination and treatment of atypical losses 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 exclude the presence of certain diseases.
The initial examination includes:
- visual inspection of the penis;
- palpation and examination of the lymph nodes in the groin;
- collecting secretions from the prostate for further laboratory research.
Based on the data of laboratory tests and the initial examination, a preliminary diagnosis can be made. If these data prove to be insufficient, the following operations are also carried out:
- TANK-seeding;
- general blood test;
- general urinalysis;
- Ultrasound of pelvic organs and prostate;
- tomography.
