The Spermatorrhoe (also spermatorrhea , spermatorrhea ) denotes a discharge of seminal fluid from the urethra without sexual arousal.
The direct cause of spermatorrhea is insufficiency of the ejaculatory duct . Spermatorrhea occurs mainly during stool and urination . In the first case one speaks of a defecation syndrome , in the latter of a micturition syndrome . The causes of the malfunction can be psychological. Chronic gonorrhea (literally “semen flow”) is also a common cause. Less common is a lesion of the spinal cord and thus a lack of neural function control as the trigger.
Prostatorrhea is comparable to spermatorrhea, although it is not the seminal fluid that emerges , but the cloudy prostate secretion.
