What does prostate fluid leucocyte 4 add mean

4 + WBC in prostatic fluid refers to the high number of leukocytes in prostatic fluid, which may be related to factors such as infection and specimen contamination.

When normal men are examined for prostatic fluid, the number of leukocytes per high-power field should not exceed 10, while 4 + WBC in prostatic fluid indicates that the number of leukocytes is high. If accompanied by a decrease or disappearance of lecithin bodies, it indicates that there is infection, which may be related to prostatitis. Secondly, if inadvertent contamination occurs during sampling or specimen examination, it may also lead to an increase in the number of leukocytes. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct the next examination in time after this result appears to clarify the diagnosis.
