Everything about male pre-ejaculation: What is it used for and when is it released?

Pre-semen, or pre-seminal fluid, is different from semen. In appearance, it resembles a viscous clear mixture secreted from the urethral opening of the penis. It is released before ejaculation, mixes with sperm during ejaculation, and enters the vagina during unprotected sex.
Visually, the liquid resembles raw egg whites. Cooper's glands and Little's paraurethral glands secrete fluid when men are sexually aroused. It contains prostatic fluid.Cooper's glands - also called bulbourethral glands - are about the size of a pea and are located below the prostate on either side of the urethra.Littre's glands look like clusters of more than 30 located throughout the urethra. They constantly secrete secretions that lubricate the urethra. Its formation is intensified during sexual arousal.Everyone has their own amount of lubrication. To illustrate this point more clearly, we can make an analogy with women: some people need extra sexual lubricant, while others need natural lubricants. The amount of bulbourethral gland secretion is determined by the levels of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone. In patients with prostate adenomas, dihydrotestosterone levels are increased, and as a result, the secretion increases in men when they are excited, although its composition is abnormal.The composition of pre-ejaculate is somewhat similar to that of sperm. It contains a large amount of salivary proteins, enzymes, amino acids, and also undergoes alkaline reactions.The purpose of excretion during male sexual arousal (before ejaculation) is to lubricate the head, facilitate insertion of the penis into the vagina, prepare semen for passage through the urethra, and nourish the sperm with useful substances. It also neutralizes bacteria, urine residue, and alkalizes the environment of the penis and vagina to create favorable conditions for reproductive cells.When pre-semen is produced, there are no sperm in it. This is because they have no connection with the testicles; the glands do not synthesize them. However, sperm may be present in the pre-ejaculate leaving the urethra, depending on the stage of intercourse we are discussing. As orgasm approaches, the pre-ejaculation phase begins once the testicles are forcefully pulled toward the groin. The duct through which the sperm passes becomes a pump, pumping the sperm out of the epididymis and pushing it into the prostate part of the urethra. There they wait for the onset of orgasm - the release of sperm. Sometimes they spread further along the urethra and mix with secretions from Cooper's gland.Sperm is retained in the pre-ejaculate from the moment of the last ejaculation. Some men may even experience nocturnal emissions—sperm incontinence—as a result. The causes are high testosterone levels or the use of strong medications. Pre-ejaculation sperm can only be detected by analysis because they are secreted inadvertently during sexual arousal.You can even get pregnant from the fluid before semen - the chance is 20 percent out of 100. This chance increases with repeated sexual intercourse. The new secretions a man discharges during sexual arousal can push trapped germ cells out of the urethra and into the vagina.15-20% of men contain some sperm before ejaculation, so the risk of pregnancy is high even if intercourse is interrupted.

Normal amount of mucus

The amount of pre-ejaculate depends on a man's level of sexual arousal. Therefore, maximum concentration can only be achieved with strong sexual desire. The standard is 5 ml.Some men don't produce lubrication at all, which can reduce their ability to get pregnant. When sexually aroused, a healthy male's discharge is free of odor, inclusions, lumps, stickiness, and is not accompanied by pain or discomfort.The main function of seeds before formation is purification, so their composition often changes. It may become cloudy due to repeated sex, pre-ejaculation, or due to poor hygiene. After a few days, pre-ejaculation returns to a healthy state. If he has not recovered, then you need to go to a clinic, since this is a clear sign of the development of the disease.

Pre-semen function

Lubrication during sex is important because its special ingredients disinfect and remove acid after urination. This is the body's natural preparation for the removal of semen, and the semen will pass through the prepared channels without any problems. The acidic microbiota in a woman’s vagina protects against many diseases. But an acidic environment is also not good for sperm, making it weak and ineffective. Acidity levels are reduced before ejaculation, and when sperm is released, the female body is ready to receive it, ensuring conception.

Signs of abnormal conditions

When excited, a person secretes a fluid that is far from normal, with its own color, smell, composition, and associated pain. The appearance of urethral discharge, an unpleasant odor, pain when peeing urine, excessive discharge, arbitrary formation of fluid in the absence of sexual desire, the presence of additional inclusions, changes in the structure of the discharge, etc. , are all indicators of health problems. Thin or thick. Each of these signs indicates a pathological process in the body that triggers the disease.If a man releases lubricant without sexual arousal, it is worth discussing the following disorders:

1. Bleeding - If the urethral lining is injured, pre-ejaculation fluid may drain out along with the blood.
2. Sperm - In the absence of orgasm, sperm flow out randomly due to low muscle tone in the ducts that release the seeds. The pathology is caused by chronic inflammation.
3. Leukocyte leakage is a stage of the inflammatory process when fluid is released into tissues and body cavities. The exudative phase occurs due to thermal or mechanical damage to the urethral mucus protective membrane or long-term exposure to viruses or chemicals.
4. Mucopurulent fluid - Fluid containing serosa, leukocytes, and glandular secretions. This mucus usually forms at night. The man woke up to find pus and yellow-spotted discharge on his underwear. This condition occurs if the urinary tract is affected by bacteria (Chlamydia, Ureaplasma, or Trichomonas).
5. Purulent - Contains large amounts of urothelium, leukocytes, serosal fluid, and mucus. This discharge is very thick and smells bad. They look like yellow or green drops and are a sure sign of gonococcal urethritis, which is caused by gonorrhea and chlamydia.

The amount of mucus released can be large or small. Lubrication in small volumes is almost invisible. To identify it, you have to press on the urethral opening and fluid will appear. Usually it dries immediately, leaving a thin film on the membrane of the glans penis. The sponges of the urethra stick together due to their overly viscous structure.

Causes of painful discharge

Men release higher or lower levels of fluid during sexual arousal than normal due to sexually transmitted diseases, but the cause may not be just them.

1. STDs. They occur due to unfavorable microbial flora on the mucosa of the urethral tubes, glands, cavities and external areas of the reproductive organs. All sexually transmitted diseases are divided into four categories according to the causative agent: bacteria (granulomas inguinale, chancroid, syphilis, lymphogranuloma, chlamydia, gonorrhea, mycoplasmosis, ureaplasmosis), viruses (HIV, herpes, genital warts, nippletumourvirus, molluscum contagiosum), fungi (candidiasis) and parasites (scabies; phthiriasis).
2. other reasons. The prostate plays a decisive role in the formation of sperm. Without its secretion, semen has no function. If the prostate is inflamed, its secretions will be more intense.

Men with chronic prostatitis will notice a large amount of discharge from the urethral opening when sexually aroused. This fluid is called prostate secretion and is very similar to the fluid before ejaculation.Strong discharges may occur in men during arousal due to allergies, hypothermia, inflammatory processes, chemical or physical damage.Clear mucus may indicate recent probing. This is the body’s protective response to microtrauma to the mucous membranes. If a large amount of such discharge is observed, this is considered a clear sign of infertility.To identify a specific pathology, visual assessment of the fluid alone is not sufficient. Here it is important to check its biological composition, and this can only be done during a medical examination.

Can lubricants be applied to fertilizers?

It has been experimentally proven that male lubricants contain small amounts of sperm, so the chance of pregnancy if released during unprotected sex is small.The chances of conception are especially high during the middle of the cycle, when ovulation has passed and the cervix is still open. At other times, the substances released by a man during sexual arousal are not sufficient for fertilization. Without the nutrient medium for sperm, germ cells will die quickly in the vagina.The likelihood of conception is highest after repeated intercourse because the lubricant contains large amounts of sperm. If you don't want to have a baby, it's a good idea to take a quick bathroom break before your next appointment.

Can a virgin get pregnant?

It's very possible, and we're not talking about a virgin birth. This situation is caused by two conditions:

• Individual characteristics of the hymen structure;
• Sperm motility and speed;
• Is this the time for girls to ovulate?

Even naked touching can accidentally lead to pregnancy. This happens if male lubricant lands on a girl's genitals. Sperm can enter the vagina and conception can occur. The risk is higher if the hymen is particularly elastic or damaged (trauma, equestrian sports).Sometimes this is enough to connect the egg and sperm. Medical statistics prove that it is not uncommon for women in labor to have an intact hymen.

preshot color

Men's Health lubrication is clear and colorless. Due to the inflammatory process (Cooper's inflammation), the color and composition of the fluid change. If the secretions become cloudy and appear yellow or green, this indicates suspicious pathogen activity. If the shadow is brown, it indicates inflammatory damage and bleeding in the blood vessels.Inflammation of Cooper's gland can be detected using a polyvitreous urine sample. First, you need to urinate in the first container, and after massaging the glands, urinate in another container - at this stage, secretions appear in the urine and need to be checked. After the second study, massage the prostate and collect urine in a third container. For example, if the second container shows an increased white blood cell count while the first and third containers have normal white blood cell counts, this indicates isolated inflammation.Blockage of the gland may also occur due to stagnant secretions - after all, the urethral tube reaches 2-8 cm, and the resulting blockage can lead to inflammation. In this case, massage and antibacterial therapy can be used as treatments.

diagnosis

After listening to the patient's complaints and taking a medical history, the urologist examines the genitals. In this case, the specialist simultaneously extracts prostatic fluid through rectal massage. Further laboratory testing is required:

• blood analysis;
• Prostatic secretion;
• urinalysis;
• sperm.

It is important to evaluate the discharge itself. To do this, they need to undergo microscopic examination. It is this method that allows you to identify the main source of the problem - bacteria, viruses, fungi.Next, the doctor continues with instrument diagnosis:

• Ultrasound examination of pelvic organs, penis, and scrotum;
• Dopplerography;
• radiography;
• MRI;
• CT;
• Cystoscopy;
• Urethroscopy;
• Scintigraphy.

If a tumor is found during the examination, the diagnostician will perform a puncture.

How to reduce discharge during excitement

Sexual desire is difficult to hide if discharge shows through clothing. If a man releases a lot of fluid when he's aroused, you'll want to follow these tips:

• Have sex regularly - at least 2-3 times a week, which normalizes glandular secretions;
• Consult a urologist—sometimes heavy pre-ejaculation indicates hormonal imbalance, inflammation, and prostate adenoma;
• Give up tight underwear; wear loose underwear, secretions will not be so obvious;
• Avoid getting excited in inappropriate situations – avoid visual and physical stimulation.

Precaution

In general, preventive measures depend on the correct attitude towards sexual intimacy and largely depend on the girl's upbringing.General advice if:

1. A good sexual mind and a certain amount of education.
2. Use only proven contraceptive methods that are sufficiently effective.
3. Birth control pills should be chosen by a qualified gynecologist rather than the caveman method of taking the stick.
4. In the unfortunate case of an unintended pregnancy, ensuring the safety and legality of the abortion procedure is entirely related to the qualifications and professional skills of the doctor.
5. Receive high quality and professional advice, advice and post-abortion medical care.

How to increase discharge before sex

Men secrete a small amount of lubricant when they are sexually aroused. Increasing the amount of pre-ejaculate is especially important for men who prefer to have sex without condoms. Natural lubrication will improve glide, eliminate damage and enhance fertilityHow to do it:

1. Increase the duration of foreplay. Sexual intercourse without sufficient stimulation can cause injury to the mucous membranes of the reproductive organs. High-quality, long-lasting foreplay triggers significant fluid production in both women and men.
2. Use dietary supplements or aphrodisiacs. Supplements of ginseng, hot mucuna and hornwort are particularly suitable. They increase sexual arousal and increase the amount of pre-ejaculation released.
3. Minimize alcohol and smoking as toxins prevent the glands from functioning properly.
4. Drink plenty of water.
5. Regularly perform exercises that strengthen your pelvic floor muscles (squats, bridges, and Kegel exercises).

Testosterone helps increase the secretion of men during arousal. This is why pre-ejaculate volume decreases during male menopause. Synthetics can be brought back to normal with the help of synthetic and herbal testosterone boosters, but this must be done under the strict supervision of a doctor.In most cases, bioactive substances (dietary supplements) help to safely increase preejaculate fluid volume and improve sperm quality.The comparison table will help you choose the most reliable protection method:

Protection method	Reliability level, %
condom	Up to 96
male sterilization	99. 9
Intrauterine hormone method	Up to 97
oral contraceptive pills	Up to 98
hormone injections	Up to 97
diaphragm	Up to 95
intrauterine device	Up to 95
Basal body temperature measurement	Up to 70
calendar method	Up to 70
intercourse interrupted	Up to 60
Douche after sex	Up to 15

It is up to the couple individually to choose the appropriate method. It's important to consider your partner's health and habits.
