Patient's question:
Today I just had a detailed examination of the prostatic fluid. Can you help me take a look:Color: Milky white
Viscosity: Thin
Red blood cells: 1~2 (Reference value: 0~5 HP)
White blood cells: 15~20 (Reference value: 0~10)
Lipid bodies: Thick
Pus cells: Not observed.
Please take a look—is my condition serious? Also, did I have masturbation yesterday afternoon, which might have affected the prostatic fluid this morning? For example, would the white blood cells increase?
What kind of assistance do I need: Is my condition serious? I don’t have symptoms like frequent urination or urgency—my only symptom is intermittent pain in the testicles and groin area. No other symptoms.
Do I need to take medication?
Doctor's answer:
Hello. According to your routine examination of prostatic fluid, there has been a recurrence of pus cells, indicating that the infection in the prostate is relatively severe. Generally, a prostate examination requires a 7-day cold period to more accurately express the degree of prostate infection. Based on your condition, the white blood cells should be even higher than they are now.Advice: Prostatitis does not necessarily cause frequent urination. Your symptoms also suggest the possibility of epididymitis and orchitis. It is recommended to have an ultrasound examination of the scrotum at the hospital. Since the treatment of prostatitis is challenging, it is necessary to perform bacterial culture of prostatic fluid. If bacteria can be successfully cultured, it will be possible to identify the specific bacteria and determine their sensitivity to antibiotics.
