The PH value of normal prostatic fluid is acidic, and the PH value is 6.2~6.5. The PH value may increase in prostatitis.
The appearance of normal prostatic fluid is thin and light milky white. When there is inflammation, the secretion is thick, yellow or light red, and turbid.
Lecithin corpuscles The lecithin corpuscles in the normal prostatic fluid are almost full of vision, and the superscript of the checklist is+++to+++. When prostatitis occurs, lecithin corpuscles decrease, only+to++, and tend to gather in piles.
There are no or few red blood cells in the normal prostatic fluid, that is, no more than 10 in each high power field of vision. In prostatitis, there can be more than 10 to 15 in each high power field of vision.
No more than 10 white blood cells per high power field in the normal prostatic fluid. When prostatitis occurs, the number of white blood cells can be significantly more than 10. The checklist shows+to++(each+represents 10 white blood cells).
If sperm is pressed to the seminal vesicle when massaging the prostate, it can be detected in the prostatic fluid.
Trichomonas and mold Under normal conditions, there are no trichomonas and mold in the prostatic fluid. When there are trichomonas and mold infections, they can be detected in prostate fluid.
The prostate fluid of patients with chronic prostatitis is slightly yellow and turbid or contains flocculent substances during microscopic examination. Macrophages swallow a large amount of lipids, resulting in an increase in white blood cells in the prostate fluid. The diagnosis can be established when more than 10 per high-power field of vision are available. In severe cases, white blood cells can be seen in piles, while lecithin corpuscles decrease or disappear. However, the examination results are often related to the volume and thickness of the prostatic fluid, whether there is urethral infection or sample contamination. Therefore, the diagnosis of chronic prostatitis using the prostatic fluid microscopic examination should be repeated for three consecutive times to make the diagnosis more reliable.
