Subcutaneous fluid in men: composition and function

Pre-ejaculation or seminal fluid, by its name, makes it clear what appears before ejaculation during orgasm. Unknowingly, men may be horrified, given the premature appearance of secretions, and women fear they will become pregnant.

Knowing the formation and composition of the ejaculate allows you to bring harmony and serenity to the relationship.

Man

What a precum

At the exit of the urethra, a state of sexual arousal or Cooper fluid is formed in a state of sexual arousal that appears as a clear, viscous, colorless drop. It is excreted during sex or foreplay.

Cooperian (bulbourethral) glands are the main source of seminal fluid. Littre’s glands serve as an additional site for pre-training.

Formation mechanism

Bulbourethral or Cooper glands located in the perineum muscles at the base of the penis result in natural male lubrication. Littre glands, located from the bladder to the outer opening, can also perform the lubricating function of the penis. A slimy, alkaline fluid is secreted, increasing the amount of ejaculate produced by Cooper’s glands.

When sexual arousal is reached, the pelvic floor muscles contract, block the urinary tract, and prevent urine during intercourse. At this point, the glands of Cooper and Littre begin to secrete the male lubricant.

Depending on the physiological characteristics of each person, the amount of pre-seed varies, usually from two drops to 5 ml. Under certain circumstances, emissions may be higher.

Structure

Fluid before ejaculation is released when the male genitals are severely agitated. The precursor is alkaline and contains many chemicals.

The structure of the ejaculate is a colloidal, gel-like mass consisting of:

  • water:
  • several enzymes and glycopolysaccharides:
  • potassium, calcium, sodium and low magnesium ions.

Sperm can accidentally occur in the seminal fluid when they enter after previous intercourse or masturbation.

Features

The male urethra, like the female vagina, has an acidic environment that kills sperm. The pre-sowing material neutralizes the acidity and creates a favorable environment for the seed.

Pre-ejaculatory fluid has other useful functions:

  • lubricant for painless insertion of the penis into the vagina, facilitating friction during the act,
  • facilitates the movement of the ejaculate along the genital tract, hydrates,
  • cleanses the urethra from the remnants of previous ejaculation and urine,
  • protects the cavity fluid from damage.
The ejaculate acts as a lubricant during intercourse

Sperm and pregnancy

It is not possible to fertilize an egg from the premenstrual fluid. There is no sperm in the sperm before ejaculation, but the likelihood that it will enter the lubricant after an earlier orgasm, especially another.

Pregnancy can occur if:

  • sperm gets into Cooper's fluid,
  • the seed shows a high degree of activity,
  • sexual intercourse occurs at the most opportune time in a woman.

Sperm live for a few seconds, are in an unfavorable environment, but the strongest manage to survive in the male genital tract or on the surface of the head until the next unprotected intercourse.

Semen

Does it contain sperm

There is no sperm in the seminal fluid. They do not fall into the moment of formation. Seed and seed are produced by different, unrelated organs. The lubricant is released from the person before ejaculation.

The likelihood that viable sperm will enter the precum from the outside will persist even after recent unprotected intercourse or masturbation.

Practicing interrupted intercourse

The superstition of the ability of a male natural lubricant to fertilize an egg may have stemmed from the appearance of pregnancy when interrupted intercourse was used as a method of contraception. To avoid conception, this method removes the penis from the vagina before ejaculation. But if, in a state of strong excessive arousal, you are unable to pull out your organ before ejaculation begins, fertilization of the egg is possible even with a small amount of first sperm ejection.

During the practice of interrupted intercourse, unprotected sex gives a woman the opportunity to become pregnant with the man’s repeated ejaculation, when the sperm from the previous ejaculation can enter the ovum with the released lubricant.

Prevention of unwanted pregnancies

If the precum enters the vagina

Based on the fact that one of the purposes of seminal fluid is to facilitate male genital penetration in the female and to lubricate during friction, it is natural for it to enter the vagina.

If partners are planning, such a blow to the lubricant will only help. Otherwise, you must follow the precautions for unprotected intercourse or switch to contraception.

The onset of an unplanned pregnancy

Pre - sperm analyzes

Due to cases of pregnancy, when the interruption of the act is used as a method of contraception, a misconception has arisen about the content of the ejaculate in the natural lubricant of man. The assumption has been made in many articles in the medical literature, with some university teachers communicating incorrect information to students.

To establish the truth, an experiment was conducted in Israel with a preliminary analysis of the participants in the volunteer project. The ejaculate was taken from absolutely healthy men who had problems with the urogenital system at different ages. No seeds were found in any of the samples.

The test liquid contains water, enzymes, minerals, especially sodium, in the form of a gel. Due to sodium, the precursor has an alkaline reaction.

Contact a specialist to perform Cooper fluid analysis and studies if you notice any abnormalities or pathologies.

Possible pathologies

In men who are sexually aroused, ejaculate selection is common. Changes in this area of the body’s vital functions are a cause for concern.

The reason for visiting the specialist may be:

  • the shade of gray, green or yellow,
  • appearance of blood
  • change in density to curd state,
  • the smell of mold.

A sign of pathology may be the release of a colorless fluid without an erection caused by streptococci, staphylococci, or E. coli.

In case of impaired reproductive functions in one person:

  • lower abdominal pain
  • frequent urination and cramps at the same time,
  • temperature rise,
  • hyperemia of the skin areas,
  • purulent discharge from the urethra in the absence of sexual arousal.

If cheese spots appear in the foreground, it can mean an inflammatory disease, candidiasis. You should consult a doctor.

There are cases where the practitioner is asked to allocate large amounts of progenitor sperm at the slightest excitement. This causes discomfort to the man, the secretions may become noticeable to others. Such failure is treatable and, after examination, the andrologist prescribes therapy.
