Patient's question:
The results of the careful examination of prostatic fluid are as follows: pH 7.0, white blood cells 5-10, lecithin corpuscles +, sperm. There is a history of treatment and its effectiveness: the following are the suspected results of the urine test:Test item Result Reference value Test item Result Reference value Unit/UL

Doctor's answer:
According to the information you provided, the urinalysis suggests it is normal. The careful examination of prostatic fluid indicates a low number of lecithin corpuscles, suggesting inflammation and infection. Generally, the significance of lecithin corpuscles is based on the protein components or nutrients in the prostatic fluid. A low level of lecithin corpuscles primarily indicates two issues: first, the excretory function of the prostate gland is poor, leading to a reduced number of lecithin corpuscles; or second, the gland's excretory function is still adequate, but the prostate is composed of many glandular ducts, and its distribution or metabolic capacity has declined, which is the issue of "blockage of meridians" in traditional Chinese medicine.
