Microscopic examination of prostate fluid

Prostatic fluid microscopy is to directly apply the prostatic fluid to the slide, and observe the red blood cells, white blood cells, and lecithin bodies under the microscope. Basic Information Specialist classification: male examination inspection classification: microscopy Applicable gender: whether the male is fasting: not fasting Tips: When the amount of liquid is small, drop it directly onto the slide and send it in time. Pay attention to prevent the sample from being evaporated and dried. When the amount is large, collect it in a clean and dry test tube. Normal value The lecithin body is full of vision. Leukocytes are less than 10/high power field of view. Prostate granulosa cells are less than 1/high magnification field of view. Occasionally, red blood cells. Clinical significance This test is mainly used for the diagnosis of prostatitis. 1. Lecithin corpuscle reduction is seen in prostatitis. 2. Increased red blood cells are found in prostatitis, tuberculosis and tumors. 3. Increased white blood cells are seen in chronic prostatitis. 4. Increased prostate granule cells are seen in prostatitis. 5. Amyloid corpuscles increase with age, no clinical significance. 6. The occurrence of trichomoniasis is seen in trichomonas prostatitis. Precautions The specimen of prostatic fluid is collected from the prostate after massage. When the amount of fluid is small, it is directly dripped on the slide and sent for inspection. It is necessary to prevent the specimen from being evaporated and dried. When the amount is large, it is collected in a clean and dry test tube. If the prostatic fluid is not massaged, check the urine sediment after the massage. Inspection process Place the prostatic fluid under the microscope and check it. Not suitable for the crowd Generally there are no people who are not suitable. Adverse reactions and risks Generally no adverse reactions.
