Lecithin grains when to treat prostate

The prostate gland is one of the most important organs for a man. And one of the most accurate methods for diagnosing the work and problems of the male prostate is the analysis of the secretion of the prostate. With the help of such a laboratory study, the doctor can diagnose diseases at the initial stages and quickly prescribe the correct treatment, preventing the development of the disease. One of the most important external signs that determines the functionality of the prostate secretion - lecithin grains in the secretion of the prostate and their number in the secret itself.

What are lecithin grains

Lecithin grains are peculiar formations in male sperm, which in their shape resemble a grain of wheat (hence the name). Their presence in semen contributes to the color of the male seminal fluid - ivory or dull white. Normally, 1 milliliter of semen should contain up to 10 million grains, which is a lot. But the number of formations will not always be a decisive indicator of the normal state of the sperm.

Under a microscope, you can see that the grains are densely located throughout the sample, and this is how the doctor can determine the presence and condition of the patient's prostate and the level of its development.

How lecithin grains are tested

Preparation for analysis is similar to that of a spermogram. But for the analysis, a man needs a prostate massage. Yes, this is not the most pleasant procedure and many representatives of the stronger sex are very embarrassed or even refuse to carry it out. But it is worth remembering that this is still only a kind of medical procedure that can help save health and return to a normal intimate life.

With the help of prostate massage, the specialist receives a special prostate juice, which is also called the secret of the prostate. This secret will be investigated in the laboratory in the future in order to isolate lecithin grains. The laboratory assistant adds distilled water and a drop of methylene blue solution to the secret. All this is mixed and sent to a special device that counts the grains - the Goryaev camera.

According to the results of the analysis, the doctor may come to the following conclusions: if lecithin grains were not found in the secret of the prostate, then this indicates that the male prostate is severely inflamed. Then the doctor examines the patient, listens to his complaints and prescribes surgical treatment. Also, a man may be prescribed additional examinations of the pelvic organs: ultrasound of the prostate, blood and urine tests, examination of the shape and structure of the prostate gland for the presence of swelling or infections.

But there are cases when there are no lecithin grains in the analysis, but no inflammation of the patient's prostate was found. This means that the specialist did the wrong massage of the prostate: perhaps it was an inexperienced laboratory assistant or a man tensely, or a drop of urine was released instead of prostate juice. Then the procedure will have to be repeated.

Normal test values

In the secret of the male prostate, there should be a fairly large amount of lecithin grains. This will indicate that the prostate is completely healthy. But at the same time in the test results there should be no indicators for the presence of leukocytes, because if they are, it means that an inflammatory process is taking place in the body.

How to know if the prostate is inflamed

If a man has an inflammation of the prostate, then lecithin cells will not be found in the analysis, or there will be only a few of them. In the case of an inflammatory process, sperm secretion in men may not occur due to clogged ducts. Also, on the walls of the vessel in the genital organ, lumps of leukocytes and particles of bacteria can accumulate. In the presence of inflammation, a man must necessarily carry out a massage in order to disperse the blood and remove the stagnant secretion that causes inflammation from the body.

How to fix the problem

For the treatment of prostate inflammation, a man needs to spend a lot of effort, energy and patience. To treat the problem, doctors usually use several approaches in order to quickly maximize the effect and prevent relapse.

Most often, the patient is credited with taking antibiotics, physical procedures and massage, as well as treatment with folk remedies. After the patient has undergone a course of treatment, he will need to be tested again to see if there is a result and whether it is worth continuing or adjusting the treatment.

But even if after passing the analysis the number of lecithin grains increased, then after a pause in treatment, the man may be offered to re-undergo the course of treatment.

In addition to drug treatment, a man should also pay attention to his lifestyle: for the duration of treatment, refuse to use spicy, fatty food, smoking and drinking alcohol. It would be better to start leading an active lifestyle, increase the number of physical exercises and sports, drink monastery tea and herbal infusions.

For many patients, doctors recommend visiting a balneological sanatorium. This is an institution where there are all conditions for the treatment of patients with prostatitis. Among the procedures for men are: laser therapy, prostate massage, water therapy, acupuncture and others. Thus, the patient strengthens the immune system, improves the movement of blood and lymph through the vessels and restores the functions of the prostate. But if a patient was diagnosed with an acute chronic disease, then he should not visit such a sanatorium.

Disease Prevention

As we have already said, after treatment of prostate inflammation, a man needs to pass all the tests again after a while and be examined by a doctor. If, according to the results of the analysis, there is a sufficient amount of lipoid grains and a practical absence of leukocytes in the secret of the prostate, then the man is healthy. If the indicators have not changed or have moderately decreased, then the treatment should be reviewed and continued, because even a slight deviation in the future can cause infertility and a decrease in the prostate.

Also, for prevention, men are advised to consult a doctor at the slightest sign or symptoms of an ailment and not delay treatment. According to doctors, every man should take an analysis for lecithin grains once a year so that the prostate canal and intimate life are always at their best.
