What are the tests for prostatitis?

Prostatitis tests are generally routine prostate fluid, which aids in diagnosis by looking at items such as color and clarity, pH, white blood cells, and phosphatidylcholine microsomes. When suffering from prostatitis, the color and transparency of prostate fluid may be red or yellow turbid; its pH may be increased; white blood cells may be more than 10 per high power field of view; red blood cells may be more than 5 per high power field of view; phosphatidylcholine microsomes may be reduced, piled up or unevenly distributed, and in severe cases, they may disappear. In addition prostate granulocytes may be increased, greater than 1 per high power field of view, and Trichomonas vaginalis may be seen if the prostatitis is caused by Trichomonas vaginalis. If the prostate fluid routine abnormalities, patients need to go to the hospital in a timely manner, combined with frequent urination, painful urination and other symptoms, to clarify the cause of the disease and then active treatment.
