A semen bacterial test is generally not a substitute for a prostate fluid test, and the test needs to be performed as prescribed.
Although prostate fluid is present in semen, semen bacterial culture is performed to evaluate the condition of white blood cells in semen, which can give a general idea of the state of the prostate gland in men.
However, the condition of leucocytes cannot be observed in the semen examination, while the prostate fluid examination can know the condition of leucocytes, which is beneficial for analyzing the patient’s condition, so the semen bacterial culture cannot replace the prostate fluid examination at this time.
When taking the test specimen for prostate fluid examination, you need to stay relaxed as much as possible, and you need to avoid spicy and stimulating food intake, such as butter hot pot, Sichuan cuisine, etc., and avoid sitting for a long time, and don’t engage in sexual intercourse two days before the examination, so as to avoid affecting the accuracy of the results.
After cooperating with the doctor to conduct the relevant examination, it can help the doctor to understand the patient’s physical condition and formulate a treatment plan that will be more suitable for the patient.
