Patient's question:
Last month, I had a prostate fluid test. The results showed 43% corpuscles and 26 white blood cells. Chlamydia and mycoplasma were negative. Some doctors said it was very serious, while others said it was just a minor inflammation and taking some ciprofloxacin tablets would be fine. What are the items checked in a prostate fluid test?Doctor's answer:
The project includes:1. Checking sperm. Experts point out that if the seminal vesicle is compressed during prostate massage, sperm can be detected in the prostatic fluid.
2. Checking white blood cells.
3. Checking red blood cells.
4. Trichomonas and mold. The diagnosis of prostatitis is very important. Under normal conditions, there are no trichomonas or mold in prostatic fluid. When there is a trichomonas or mold infection, they can be detected in the prostatic fluid.
5. Appearance. Normal prostatic fluid appears thin and pale milky white. When inflammation is present, the secretion is thick, yellow or pale red, and cloudy.
6. pH value.
7. Sphingomyelin bodies.
