Patient's question:
In October, when I had a thorough check-up, the white blood cell count was plus one. The doctor said it would be fine if I took medicine for half a month, so I got a prescription for half a month. After finishing the medicine, when I had another thorough check-up in November, the white blood cell count was still plus one. The doctor said there was no need to continue taking medicine. I want to verify whether this is considered better or not. Why was the check-up result in October the same as in November, but the doctor said I needed to continue taking medicine in October but said not to in November? I don’t understand. I’d like to ask for your advice. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The careful examination results for prostatitis are normal, with white blood cells not exceeding one plus sign, and the presence of lecithin corpuscles filling the entire field of view is considered normal. Based on your condition, it is inferred that the white blood cell tests in October and November were both a plus sign, which is not an issue with the test results but rather that even after the cure of prostatitis, normal results still require a period of medication to stabilize the condition. The doctor's approach is correct. After recovery, it is recommended to avoid spicy foods, pay attention to preventing colds, control sexual desire, reduce prolonged sitting, avoid overexertion, and engage in appropriate exercise. These are all measures to prevent recurrence.
