Patient's question:
My son always urges me to go to the hospital for a health check-up on the phone. He says that elderly people must have a health check-up every year to ensure that any health issues are detected early, treated early, and resolved early. So, I went to the hospital for a health check-up. The result was that the doctor said my white blood cells were slightly abnormal and a bit high.What kind of assistance is needed: When I had the health check-up at the hospital, the doctor said my white blood cells were high. How many white blood cells are considered normal?
Doctor's answer:
The normal value is 4-10 divided by 10 to the power of 9. The number of white blood cells in routine prostatic fluid examination cannot fully reflect the severity of prostatitis. For example, in non-inflammatory chronic pelvic pain syndrome (a type of chronic prostatitis), the prostatic fluid may show an undetectable excess of white blood cells, but the patient's symptoms are quite pronounced; on the other hand, some patients with asymptomatic chronic prostatitis may have no obvious subjective symptoms, but a large number of white blood cells can be detected in the prostatic fluid.
