Patient's question:
I just started living with my fiancée, and I've been getting injections for 10 days now. The doctor said to get one more injection tomorrow, and then I just need to take some traditional Chinese medicine for a while. It's been more than half a month since I last had sex with my fiancée.Doctor's answer:
Prostatic fluid should be kept cold for 3 to 7 days before collection, because ejaculation and emotional excitement can cause an increase in white blood cell count in prostatic fluid, affecting the diagnosis. However, if the cooling period is less than 7 days, white blood cells may still accumulate in the prostate, which can also create a false impression of inflammation.When collecting prostatic fluid, the patient first urinates, then adopts the prone-knee position, which means kneeling on the examination bed with the buttocks raised. Alternatively, the patient can lie on their right side, facing the doctor, with both legs bent, and the left leg bent more significantly.
