How is the extraction of prostatic fluid examination performed?

Patient's question:

Every time I go to the bathroom, I notice milky white drops of urine. There is no obvious frequency or urgency of urination. Medical history: Approximately 10 years.

Doctor's answer:

The extraction of prostatic fluid is performed by nurses, and the method is quite simple. The nurse inserts their fingers into the patient's anus, compresses the prostate, and the prostatic fluid will flow out from the urethral opening. Then, a small container is used to collect it for laboratory testing. Patients with prostatitis must have their prostatic fluid tested for diagnosis. If necessary, bacterial culture is also conducted to determine the type of prostatitis. Only after diagnosis can symptomatic treatment be administered.
