Patient's question:
Patient Gender:1. Leukocytes +/-
2. Epithelial cells +/-
3. Red blood cells Negative
4. Sperm Negative
5. Sphingomyelin bodies +++
6. pH 6.8
7. Others Negative.
This is my situation. Where is something abnormal? What are the normal values?
First follow-up question: Male, 23 years old, married for one year, normal sexual activity. Childless. Frequent urination for half a year, mainly going to the toilet after meals. 4
Doctor's answer:
pH level: 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 significantly exceed 10, and the test report may show + to +++. (Each + represents 10 white blood cells).
Lecithin corpuscles: Normal prostatic fluid is almost completely filled with lecithin corpuscles, marked as + to +++. 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 your test report to determine whether the prostatic fluid test is normal.
