Patient's question:
32-year-old male I previously had prostatitis, and in the past few years, it has been well-controlled without recurrence. The other day, I planned to have a follow-up check-up to see if everything is still fine. I'm concerned that this condition might affect my health. Could you please tell me: What are the normal standards for prostatitis check-ups?Doctor's answer:
Normal adult males excrete about 0.5~2ml of prostatic fluid daily. Under the microscope, normal prostatic fluid is seen to contain a large number of lecithin corpuscles arranged uniformly, with 0 to 2 white blood cells/HPF. It also contains a very small amount of prostatic epithelial cells and urethral epithelial cells, and sometimes shows amyloid bodies, which are more common in the elderly. Sperm is occasionally observed. Do not feel any psychological pressure, maintain a pleasant mood, and pay attention to getting more rest during this period. At the same time, maintain a light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods, which will be beneficial for both you and the fetus in your belly.
