The routine examination of prostate fluid is often performed by patients with prostatitis. In normal human prostate fluid, white blood cells<10/HP, and lecithin bodies are evenly distributed throughout the visual field. When white blood cells>10/HP and the number of lecithin bodies decreases, it has diagnostic significance.
1. What do the descriptions of+,++, and++in the report mean?
Each+represents 10 white blood cells. If described as+in the report, it usually represents ≥ 10 white blood cells and<20 white blood cells++ Representatives ≥ 20,<30; and so on.
Are two plus signs "++" more severe than one plus sign "+"?
no There is no significant correlation between the number of white blood cells and the severity of symptoms. Don't obsess too much about the amount of white blood cells.
Is it possible to determine the absence of prostatitis if the number of white blood cells is less than 10?
No! Prostatitis is not necessarily caused by factors such as bacterial infections that cause elevated white blood cells. When caused by infectious factors such as viruses, white blood cells do not increase significantly.
Does the prostate fluid test require abstinence?
Generally, the examiner is required to abstain for more than 3 days.
5. How to judge the cure of prostatitis clinically?
It is generally believed that the "cure" standard for prostatitis is not necessarily that the routine examination of prostate fluid is completely normal, but mainly to see the patient's conscious symptoms disappear or significantly reduce. In other words, if the patient's symptoms disappear, even if there are still one or two+white blood cells in the prostate fluid test, it can still be considered "cured" and there is no need to continue treatment.
