Patient's question:
An anterior prostatic fluid routine examination has been conducted, showing 3+ white blood cells and 2+ pus cells. Could this be caused by excessive masturbation, frequent beer consumption, and prolonged sitting while working? Would 3+ white blood cells and 2+ pus cells be due to these reasons? Is it true that sterile prostatitis does not show white blood cells?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis with aseptic inflammation is also abnormal in the routine examination of prostatic fluid, where white blood cells are present but not visible. However, based on your suggestion of pus cells, the possibility of bacterial prostatitis is higher. Prostatic fluid bacterial culture can be performed to identify the specific type of infection, enabling timely and targeted treatment. Excessive masturbation, alcohol consumption, and prolonged sitting also have a direct impact on the male prostate. Therefore, it is advisable to engage in appropriate physical activity, moderate alcohol intake, and avoid long periods of sitting. For stable prostatitis patients, the main treatment involves oral medications. Patients can take some oral medications along with vitamins and maintain a regular sleep schedule, while avoiding alcohol. We hope that prostatitis patients can recover quickly! Thank you!
