But prostatic fluid also Helps reduce the acidity of the vagina, so little swimmers have less mortality and higher activity rates.

We all know the lubrication factor can make sex easier — without feeling like you’re rubbing something together to start a fire.

This is not the same as semen!

Semen is produced in the testicles, specifically in tiny tubes called seminiferous tubules, and then stored in the epididymis. Semen comes from what were then called Cowper’s glands. (About the size of a pea.) It consists of enzymes and mucus, and in its purest form does not contain any living sperm cells.

How much is considered normal?

Anyone with a penis knows that you may or may not feel prostatic fluid production, and that it’s uncontrollable. You only notice it when you see a little wet spot on your underwear or a little drip from the tip of your penis. In case you’re wondering, the average amount of prostatic fluid is about 4 ml — less than a teaspoon.

But if you really don’t like it, you can talk to your doctor and there are things that can be done to address it. This is especially important for anyone practicing the withdrawal method – we’ll get to that later.

How to tell if your prostate fluid is healthy

Prostatic fluid should be clear. But if it’s not, it’s completely normal to be concerned. The line between prostatic fluid and secretions from an infection can also be blurry.

Maybe your prostate fluid has changed color due to infection. But we don’t have to worry about that – let’s leave it to the professionals. What you need to know is that if you see anything other than the normal clear, sticky substance, you should seek help.

First, any part of the body can be susceptible to infection.even your private parts.

This may turn your discharge a yellow-green color. You may also experience a burning sensation or an urgent need to urinate. You may not even have any symptoms. This could be caused by chlamydia, herpes simplex virus, or gonorrhea, among others. But before you pass out, it can also cause Normal bacteria enter the urinary tract.

Prostatic fluid may also be affected by balanitis. This is the most obvious disease that presents as an inflammation of the head of the penis. If you are going to fight the war between circumcised and uncircumcised, then both conditions are possible. You may see a red blotchy rash, pain when you urinate, and oozing discharge from the penis or under the foreskin. This may be due to poor hygiene, allergies, or sexually transmitted infections.

Men can also develop a urinary tract infection. This can cause a clear or pus-like discharge from the penis.

Regardless, the best thing you can do is see a healthcare professional!

The doctor will take your medical and sexual history, ask about your symptoms, examine your penis, and use a cotton swab to remove a sample of your discharge to send to a laboratory for analysis.

If you live in a state where the uninsured do not have access to healthcare*cough – looking at you America – cough*, there are free clinics – yes, the lines are long, but it’s better to be safe than seriously ill.

You should also see if there are any clinics that specialize in things like sexual health – these often offer free services and testing. I remember these were sometimes called family planning clinics? Correct me if I’m wrong.

What is prostatic fluid? Does it contain sperm?

We’re getting some mixed messages here. There are a lot of scientific studies on how many sperm are found in pre-ejaculate. But there’s no “hard number” to make you feel better. Like if you’re over 35, you get “insert number here.” Basically, these papers suggest that over 40% of men will have sperm in their pre-ejaculate. But there’s also evidence that some men always Have it, while others no way Do. It’s a mixed bag.

There are two possible reasons for adding the “extra passenger”.

First, there is the possibility that semen may have leaked into the precum from other reproductive organs. Second, there may be semen left over from other ejaculations. This semen may be retained in the urethra and mix with the precum during the next sexual arousal.

It has been suggested that this may be why some men are always successful in getting their partners pregnant, while others are not necessarily successful – of course, this is just speculation on your part and doesn’t take into account those who have particular problems getting pregnant.

Can prostatic fluid lead to pregnancy?

Now you can safely assume that the answer is yes, it is possible. So anyone who thought that using withdrawal was a good way to prevent pregnancy, now you know If you want to avoid pregnancy, you should use another form of birth control.

For those who think that peeing afterward (because urine is acidic) kills sperm, studies have shown that peeing doesn’t kill all sperm. It just takes a little one to find a way out. Also, sperm can live in the vagina for up to 5 days.

Fun fact: Withdrawal is also known as coitus interruptus.

Can I get a sexually transmitted disease from prostatic fluid?

The World Health Organization explains that STDs such as HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea and hepatitis B can be spread through body fluids, including prostatic fluid.

So the line “I can’t orgasm with a condom on” gets the world’s smallest violin.

For those who don’t pay attention, there is enough evidence, educational materials and even social media to make people aware of the need for a barrier method to prevent STIs – and the only method we have right now is condoms. Because prostate fluid has its uses if you’re getting tested and want to get pregnant, etc. But other than that, it’s not something to mess around with.

Well, now Now that you have all the information you need, you can enter the world of sex and know that you can make the best decision possible. (Like birth control pills involving condoms.) You can also relax if your period is a little heavier than usual, but don’t relax if it’s not right and see your doctor.
