Patient's question:
I am wondering about the specific treatment procedures and examination methods. Could you please ask the doctor what I should do?Doctor's answer:
(1) Sphingomyelin bodies: Normal prostatic fluid contains a viscous content of sphingomyelin bodies. In prostatitis, the number of sphingomyelin bodies increases, often appearing in clusters.(2) The components of prostatic cells include red blood cells, white blood cells, and epithelial cells. In normal prostatic fluid, red blood cells are <5 per high-power field (HP), white blood cells are <10 per HP, and cells are scattered. In prostatitis, clusters of white blood cells are observed. When white blood cells exceed 10 per HP or clusters reappear, it can be diagnosed as chronic prostatitis. The presence of a large number of red blood cells again suggests the possibility of seminal vesiculitis, prostatic purulent inflammation, or prostatic cancer inflammation.
