How is prostate fluid examined?


Healing hearts, healing lives.
Prostatic fluid examination includes routine and culture items, which are commonly used in urology. It is a very important index to assist in the diagnosis of prostatitis. Prostatic fluid needs to be examined by rectal digital examination, massage the prostate body, squeeze out the liquid, and then examine it. Normal prostatic fluid is milky white, translucent liquid, and the number of white blood cells in it is basically less than five per high power field. Phospholipid bodies are lipid droplets evenly distributed in each high power field. If prostatitis is present, the number of white blood cells is higher than ten per high-power field, lecithin bodies are significantly reduced, and the prostate fluid itself becomes cloudy.
