Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a bit unwell, especially when using the restroom. It's quite uncomfortable, and I experience some pain after urinating. I underwent a thorough examination, and the doctor recommended a prostatic fluid test. The results showed three plus white blood cells. Doctor, what does a prostatic fluid test with three plus white blood cells mean?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic fluid examination should be performed carefully. If three plus signs of white blood cells are detected, it is generally indicative of inflammation or bacterial infection. In clinical diagnosis, if three plus signs of white blood cells are observed, further examination is necessary. Conduct a bacterial culture of prostatic fluid and a drug sensitivity test to identify the pathogenic bacteria. If it is found to be an E. coli infection, you can use medications such as levofloxacin capsules or gentamicin granules for treatment. Alternatively, oral sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim tablets can be taken for continuous treatment for about 15 days.
