Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to ask how to check prostatic fluid and how much it costs approximately? Thank youDoctor's answer:
pH value: Normal prostatic fluid is acidic with a pH of 6.2-6.5, and the pH can increase during prostatitis.Appearance: Normal prostatic fluid appears thin and pale milky white. During inflammation, the secretion becomes thick, yellow or pale red, and cloudy.
Red blood cells: Normal prostatic fluid contains no or very few red blood cells, not exceeding 10 per high-power field. During prostatitis, the number can exceed 10 to 15 per high-power field.
White blood cells: Normal prostatic fluid contains no more than 10 white blood cells per high-power field. During prostatitis, the number can greatly exceed 10, and the test report shows + to +++, with each + representing 10 white blood cells.
Lecithin corpuscles: Normal prostatic fluid is almost completely filled with lecithin corpuscles, marked as+++ to++++ on the test report. During prostatitis, the number of lecithin corpuscles decreases, only showing + to ++, and there is a tendency for them to clump together.
We recommend you consult our online experts with the test report to determine whether the prostatic fluid test is normal.
