Physiological scientists claim that when a woman reaches orgasm, “female sperm” is released from her genitals. This definition usually means a small volume of liquid, no more than 60 ml, which has a slightly whitish tint. Let's try to figure it out and look in detail at what is included in female sperm and what it is called.
What is “ejaculate” in women?
According to the physiological features of the structure of the female reproductive system, the release of a certain liquid at the end of sexual intercourse is not provided for by the laws of nature. However, some representatives of the fair sex recorded the appearance of similar secretions in themselves, which made scientists think about what is contained in this very female sperm.
After a microscopic examination of a sample of such a discharge, experts came to the conclusion that its appearance may be due to the presence of several factors at once. That is why several hypotheses are currently being put forward regarding the origin of female sperm.
If we specifically talk about what female sperm looks like, then, as a rule, it is a light white liquid, slightly cloudy, in which traces of the presence of urine can be traced. At the same time, it has practically no odor or is weakly expressed. There is no separate name for this type of discharge.
What is the origin of female sperm?
Experts studying this phenomenon claim that the probability of female ejaculation in the fairer sex reaches 95%. However, in practice it was possible to establish that only about 6% of women can ejaculate, i.e. secrete a fluid at the end of sexual intercourse, similar to semen in men. It is also worth considering that when a small amount of fluid is released, it may not be released out, but enter the bladder, from where it is released along with urine. As for the theory of the origin of this phenomenon itself, researchers cannot agree on a common opinion.
Most doctors, regarding this issue, agree on the assumption that any kind of fluid released during female orgasm is associated, first of all, with urinary incontinence. Other representatives of medicine argue that this liquid differs in its properties from that released during sexual intercourse (lubricant) and from the urinary tract.
Given these disagreements, at the moment there are 4 main theories that explain the origin of female sperm:
- This liquid is nothing more than urine, and its release (excretion) is a consequence of incontinence.
- Female sperm is a kind of lubricant that is produced in large quantities by the glands of the vagina.
- This is a kind of substrate that is produced by the paraurethral and urethral glands.
- Female ejaculate is a product not only of the gonads, but a mixture of secretions produced by numerous glands of the reproductive organs.
As can be seen, the above assumptions are mutually exclusive. However, even through simple logical reflection, one can assume that female “ejaculate” is far from urine or lubricant, but a separate secret.
The thing is that such discharge does not resemble urine either in color or smell. Moreover, their consistency is much thicker. At the same time, scientists have found that it can change over time.
Speaking about whether female sperm is useful, it should be noted that this kind of liquid is a kind of consequence of a woman achieving sexual orgasm and does not have any practical significance.
9 ways to help conception.
The most important thing that is required of a man is that his sperm be mobile. The fact is that the male reproductive cell carries all its “fuel” on itself. And it absolutely needs energy: if there is energy, the sperm will run far, if there is no energy, it will stop in place. And then there can be no talk of any conception. Therefore, a man needs to be properly prepared in advance, at least for the last two weeks before the decisive sexual intercourse. To do this, he must be fed correctly: The preparatory diet includes: meat, any nuts, vitamin E, succinic acid (it improves overall metabolism). This diet increases sperm motility. In addition, before a man goes to bed to conceive, he must abstain from sexual intercourse for 2–3 days. Abstinence is necessary so that the required volume of sperm accumulates and so that the sperm has time to mature. To prove to their patients the need for abstinence, specialists usually cite a case well known in sexological practice. An American couple suffered from infertility for a long time. It turned out that the desire to have a child was so great that they worked on it two or three times a day. After the doctor forbade them to engage in excess, hypersexual Americans managed to conceive a child.
Causes of purulent sore throat
So, to get a purulent sore throat, you need to at least become infected with streptococcus, staphylococcus, or both of these bacteria at the same time. You can even become infected with gonococcus, but this option is only possible through oral sex: gonococcus in most cases causes gonorrhea and affects the genitals. Further, after infection, one of the following conditions must be present:
- Unprepared or weakened immune system. The first option is more typical for children whose body has never encountered the causative agent of sore throat and does not recognize it as a dangerous bacterium. In the second case, any person whose immunity cannot cope with the infectious agent falls ill;
- As a special case of the first condition, there is a previous illness with another infection, usually viral.
This disease weakens the immune system, and when infected, bacteria have a greater chance of surviving and settling in the body. In children, for this reason, sore throat often occurs after the Epstein-Barr virus (infectious mononucleosis); Viral particles of the Epstein-Barr virus, viewed through an electron microscope - Taking medications - fungicides, antibiotics, which disrupt the bacterial balance in the tissues of the pharynx and can lead to the active proliferation of opportunistic bacteria. For example, in a normal throat condition, both harmless fungi and staphylococcus are present in the tonsils, and the fungi do not allow staphylococcus to multiply too actively, and the disease does not occur. As soon as a person takes an antifungal agent, competitors for staphylococcus disappear, and it begins to actively reproduce, causing inflammation and sore throat.
Yeast-like fungi Candida are the causative agents of oral thrush and pharyngomycosis (fungal tonsillitis)
In addition, a common cause of purulent tonsillitis is the constant carriage of streptococcus in the tonsils, which almost always manifests itself as chronic tonsillitis. This is the only situation when purulent tonsillitis appears without direct infection: here it can develop simply when the immune system is weakened and is unable to contain the constantly proliferating bacteria in the tonsils. By and large, a sore throat in this case is a simple exacerbation of constant inflammation of the tonsils. However, chronic tonsillitis almost always develops on its own after a primary infection and untreated sore throat. You can't get sick without infection.
This is interesting
Purulent tonsillitis in chronic tonsillitis is a special type of disease. It is characterized by a high frequency of exacerbations: if an ordinary person suffers from purulent tonsillitis 2-3 times in his life, or even less, then with chronic tonsillitis it occurs 3-4 times a year, sometimes even more often. If you have a sore throat for the first time, or the last time you had it was many years ago, you almost certainly became infected with it a few days ago.

On the contrary, purulent sore throat does not arise from hypothermia, drinking cold water, or the mythical “blow.” These factors can facilitate infection by the causative agent of the disease, they can also provoke an exacerbation of chronic tonsillitis, but without streptococcus or staphylococcus in the body, sore throat will not appear under any hypothermia.
Various public events where a sick person may be present are an excellent place for the spread of infection.
Of course, the causes of purulent sore throat vary from person to person. Moreover, for some this disease turns out to be more contagious, and for others less.

Who is most susceptible to the disease?
Purulent tonsillitis most often occurs in children, simply because of their greater susceptibility to the pathogen itself. Moreover, those children who have never had streptococcal infections before will develop a sore throat after infection with the highest probability. If a child has previously had a sore throat, and it was properly treated, his risk of re-infection and illness is lower.
Also very susceptible to purulent sore throat:
- People with congenital, acquired or artificially created immunodeficiency.
These are, in particular, patients with HIV, persons undergoing organ transplantation with preliminary immunosuppression, patients undergoing treatment for cancer; Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) particles, colored yellow, bud from a T lymphocyte. - Patients with other viral, bacterial or fungal diseases of the pharynx;
- People who are constantly on strict diets and do not receive the necessary amount of vitamins for the normal functioning of the immune system.
In addition, there are other factors that contribute to infection with purulent tonsillitis:
- Frequent and long stays in large groups, ending up in places with large crowds of people.
In such places you are more likely to meet a patient (including those with chronic tonsillitis). Actually, this is why children most often bring sore throats from kindergartens and schools, and adults - from work or from public transport; An ideal place for the transmission of infectious diseases. - Forced restriction of diet and seasonal changes in the amount of vitamins entering the body. All this affects the immune system, and as a result, the body’s resistance to the pathogen decreases. For this reason (coupled with more frequent acute respiratory viral infections), purulent tonsillitis occurs more often in the cold season;
- Professional activity. Doctors, sales representatives who frequently visit hospitals, kindergarten teachers and school teachers are more likely to contract a sore throat than those whose work does not involve communicating with a large number of people;
- General unsatisfactory state of health, lack of hardening, presence of bad habits. A person who lives in front of a computer, smokes a lot, and only knows from videos what diving into an ice hole or doing pull-ups on a horizontal bar is like, is more likely to get a sore throat than an athlete whose body can adequately respond to cold or physical stress.
What should happen to sperm after intercourse?
Ejaculation is a process that, from a medical point of view, does not depend on achieving orgasm: after several shocks caused by contractions of smooth muscles, the sperm, one way or another, comes out of the penis. And, if sex took place without condoms and in the traditional way, it ends up in the partner’s vagina. How far it goes directly at the moment of ejaculation depends on the depth of penetration, the structure of the vagina, and other factors, so this nuance is always individual. Accordingly, not in every case it immediately reaches the fallopian tubes, but may well end up close to the labia.
How male sperm will be “received” by the female body is determined by several points:
- Firstly, the woman releases natural lubrication, which in turn alkalizes the vaginal microflora. To fully understand the situation, it is worth considering that in the “normal state” the vagina is a deadly zone for sperm, because reacts aggressively when hit.
- Secondly, a temporary change in the size and volume of the vagina due to arousal, as a result of which a kind of niche appears in it, where the sperm must fall, so that the sperm from it begin their ascent through the fallopian tube towards the egg. In addition, at the same time, the cervix and the uterus itself also contract, and then “draw in” the ejaculate that has entered the vagina.
Methods of transmission of the disease
In most cases, purulent tonsillitis is transmitted by airborne droplets. A large number of bacteria get from the tonsils and the mucus on it into the saliva, which is easily splashed when sneezing and coughing.
When you sneeze, millions of bacteria are released into the air, which then settle on food and hygiene products, and also penetrate the respiratory tract of other people.
However, with a sore throat, a cough and runny nose do not occur, and therefore, sneezing and coughing up mucus from the mouth occur less frequently than with viral infections. Therefore, purulent tonsillitis is often transmitted in other ways:
- Alimentary - with contaminated food that the patient ate or prepared;
- Household, when sharing hygiene items, clothing, dishes;
- Contact - when kissing, having sex.
If one of these lovebirds has a sore throat, then most likely in a few days the other will have it too.
In large groups of adults, purulent tonsillitis is transmitted mainly by airborne droplets during communication. For children's groups, other ways are somewhat more relevant due to the frequent violation by children of generally accepted hygiene standards.
Gonococcus is the causative agent of gonorrhea. It appears in the oral cavity very rarely and only in cases of gross violation of sanitary rules.
Let us recall that purulent tonsillitis is also transmitted from patients with catarrhal form (without ulcers) and patients with chronic tonsillitis. Moreover, you can get a sore throat after communicating with a patient with erysipelas or scarlet fever - these diseases are caused by the same streptococcus, and although the likelihood of them getting into the tonsils from such patients is lower, it exists.
How long is purulent sore throat contagious?
Purulent tonsillitis is contagious throughout the entire period when the patient remains unwell. If proper antibiotic therapy is not started during an illness, it can remain infectious for up to 7-9 days, while the patient has the main symptoms of the disease, and sometimes for several days after the end of the illness.
When treated with antibiotics, purulent tonsillitis is contagious until the antibiotic itself destroys all infectious agents in the tonsils. As a rule, most modern effective means cope with this task in 12-36 hours. Whether an antibiotic works or not can be judged by the patient’s condition: if it noticeably improves, the temperature drops slightly, the malaise subsides, it means that the infection is destroyed, and after 1-2 days the sore throat ceases to be contagious.
On the contrary, if after taking antibiotics there is no noticeable improvement, it means that this remedy has no effect on the infection, and the sore throat continues to remain contagious.
However, even after the specified period, it is advisable not to communicate with a patient who has ulcers on his throat. At a minimum, because the bacteria themselves can survive in the pus. That is why patients with tonsillitis themselves stay at home for 5-7 days until the pus drains from their tonsils.
Purulent tonsillitis at the culmination of its development.
Competent prevention of purulent sore throat
Considering the reasons, we can formulate rules for effective prevention of purulent sore throat:
- Do not communicate with people who have obvious signs of illness - malaise, fever, sore throat, wheezing. Moreover, do not allow children near such sick people;
- Follow the generally known rules of hygiene - eat from your own dishes, use your own toothbrush, towel and other items;
- After an acute respiratory viral infection or other illness, limit visits to crowded places;
- Try not to visit patients with sore throat. A phone call will suffice;
- Temper yourself, engage in physical exercise and sports, eat healthy and varied;
- Treat chronic tonsillitis if present.
It has been verified: “walruses” get tonsillitis much less often than those who neglect hardening.
Obviously, even the most competent prevention of purulent tonsillitis is not an absolute guarantee that the disease will not develop. However, if these measures are followed, the likelihood of infection will be significantly lower, and even if a sore throat occurs, it will occur in a milder form than, say, immediately after an acute respiratory viral infection or in a patient with chronic tonsillitis.
All these measures are especially relevant for children. Remember: hardening a child, even an infant, is a greater manifestation of maternal love than wrapping him in a dozen clothes and treating illnesses five times a year.
Accustoming children to harden their bodies is the direct responsibility of every parent.
Summary
- If yesterday you or your child interacted with someone with a sore throat, both you and your child are likely to develop the disease;
- If one of your friends has a sore throat, and he just started taking antibiotics yesterday (or doesn’t take them at all), you shouldn’t go and see him. It will be possible to safely communicate with him only after his condition normalizes;
- If you already have a sore throat, and you haven’t had it for a very long time before, it means that 2-3 days ago you became infected with it from a carrier;
- If purulent sore throats recur several times a year, it means you have chronic tonsillitis, and the sore throats themselves are not treated correctly. You need to find a good doctor.
What causes a sore throat after sex? How to treat?
Many couples choose oral sex
as one of the methods of obtaining pleasure, but do not forget that there is always a risk of getting various diseases, especially if you are not confident in your partners or change them often. One of the most asked questions on various forums concerns unpleasant pain in the throat after sex. There is always a risk of infection through the mucous membrane, and the risk group is young people aged 18 to 35 years, because they are sexually active. Let's take a closer look at the causes of sore throat after sex, and also look at treatment methods that may be useful to you.
1. Chlamydial pharyngitis
. The infection enters through the partner's saliva or genital secretions during oral sex. There is also gonorrheal pharyngitis, which is caused by a virus that is similarly sexually transmitted. An active sex life and frequent changes of partners always mean a high risk of contracting gonorrheal or chlamydial pharyngitis. Infection can occur in the larynx area. A special feature is small growths that become inflamed for two or more weeks.
How to treat chlamydial pharyngitis?
Most often, this disease is treated with antibiotics. If we are not talking about an advanced form of the disease, then treatment with special rinsing solutions is possible. It is also important to pay attention to the state of your immune system, so your doctor may prescribe a course of vitamins and change your diet.
1. Herpangina
. A disease that can primarily be identified by pain in the throat, difficulty swallowing, vomiting and severe coughing. Sometimes you can confuse herpetic sore throat with the flu, but if symptoms appear immediately after sexual intercourse, you should immediately consult a doctor and undergo a comprehensive examination. Infection occurs by infection through the genitals into the oral mucosa.
How to treat herpetic sore throat?
For the treatment of herpetic sore throat, propolis tincture is excellent, which you can prepare yourself or purchase at the pharmacy. It is also important to bring down the temperature using antipyretic drugs and pharmaceutical oral antiseptics. Oak bark, calendula, and sage are excellent for treating this disease. There are a lot of sprays that are designed specifically for treating the throat, so consult your doctor and begin treatment immediately.
2. Thrush
. This disease is also known as candidiasis. Bacteria take root well in the mucous membrane, so this disease is transmitted not only during vaginal sex, but also during oral sex. For some reason, there is an opinion that thrush occurs only in women, however, this infection takes root well on the glans penis of a man and is quickly transmitted from one partner to another, getting on the mucous membrane of the larynx. Pain from thrush after sex may appear in the throat area when swallowing saliva and food.
How to treat thrush?
Thrush is best treated with antibiotics and drugs that eliminate the development of viral bacteria. Thrush is transmitted quite quickly during oral sex, so in any case it is better to use a condom and change sexual partners less often. The disease is common among both women and men.
3. Mechanical damage
. No matter how strange it may sound, precautions must be taken during oral sex. Sometimes strong or careless movements can cause injury in women. With deep penetration, you can catch the tonsils and provoke bleeding. This is not always a guarantee that an infection will get there, but painful ulcers can take a long time to heal and cause a lot of inconvenience. This reason is not as terrible as various types of diseases, but in any case, caution is necessary.
How to treat mechanical damage?
It will be uncomfortable for you to swallow food and you will have to treat your throat with special preparations for some time. Alcohol, fried and spicy foods that can cause throat irritation will have to be avoided. It is also necessary to stop smoking. There are various sprays with an antibacterial effect that have an excellent effect on the healing process and prevent blood poisoning. Of course, you will have to exclude oral sex from your sex life for a while. It is advisable to choose soft foods that will not injure the throat even more.
