The fluid secreted by the prostate is called prostatic fluid, which is rich in lecithin vesicles, zinc, citric acid, prostate-specific antigen and other substances that participate in the composition of semen (about 30% of semen), maintain the volume and pH value of semen, and provide energy for sperm.
The prostate fluid test involves massaging the prostate gland and removing the prostate fluid to send to the laboratory for examination.
Prostate fluid routine is an important basis for determining whether the prostate is inflamed (although there is controversy about the importance of this test).
I. How to extract prostate fluid
1. It is best if you have not ejaculated for 2 to 5 days.
2, massage before taking the “bent over chair position”, exposing the glans and urethral orifice, (if the culture must sterilize the urethral orifice) with a clean sterile slide to retain the prostate fluid.
The actual fact is that you can’t get a lot of money from the company.
The actual prostate fluid should be sent for examination immediately after removal.
The main content of the routine prostate laboratory test
1, the appearance of prostate fluid
The appearance of prostate fluid is milky white thin liquid, when the appearance is yellow, red, brownish red or contains black blood clots are abnormal. It is seen in long time without sperm, blood sperm.
2, the amount of prostate fluid
The amount of prostate fluid is generally <1ml, too much or massage (excluding technical problems) is not normal. This is due to inflammation and obstruction of the glandular ducts.
3, PH value

4.Lecithin vesicles
Prostate fluid is rich in lecithin vesicles, counted as: ++++/HP (4 plus signs per high-powered view), should not be lower than ++++/HP. Decreased lecithin vesicles are the main manifestation of prostatitis.
5. Leukocytes
Normal prostatic fluid can contain leukocytes, but <10/HP (no more than 10 per high magnification field); leukocytes >10/HP is the main indicator for the diagnosis of prostatitis.
If there are 10 to 19 leukocytes per high magnification view, count +/HP.
If there are 20 to 29 leukocytes per high magnification field of view, count ++/HP.
If there are 30-39 leukocytes per high-powered field of view, count +++/HP.
If there are >40 leukocytes per high-powered field of view or a full field of view, count ++++/HP.
If leukocytes accumulate in clusters, they are called pus cells or pus globules, which are also signs of inflammation.
6. Red blood cells
There are no or only a few red blood cells in normal prostate fluid, when the prostate bleeds or when the massage technique is too heavy. There will be a large number of red blood cells present.
7, sperm
A small amount of spermatozoa can occasionally be seen in the prostate fluid, which has no clinical significance.
8, amyloid granules
Amyloid granules are formed by the precipitation of calcium phosphate, which in combination with cholesterol can form prostate stones.
Among these items, PH value, lecithin vesicles and white blood cells are the most clinically significant and are the main examination indicators. Have you, learned it?
