Analysis of prostate secretion preparation transcript

Prostatitis is an unpleasant and rather serious disease. It will be easier to cure it in the initial stage. For this reason, it is especially important to make a correct diagnosis. For this, the analysis of the secretion of the prostate is carried out, the norm and deviations of which are considered in laboratory conditions. Usually men are afraid of this analysis and consider it a rather unpleasant procedure, and that is indeed the case. Prostate juice is excreted along with sperm through the urethra during intercourse from the prostate gland, which is present in the body only in men. The secretion of the prostate will be about 1/3 of the secreted fluid.

Healthy fertilizing capacity of cells will be only with a normal composition of prostate juice, due to inflammation of the prostate gland, the fertilizing function will be impaired. The number of cholesterol crystals and Lecithin grains will determine the functionality of the secretion, therefore, these indicators are of great importance, especially if the examination is carried out in connection with suspicion of infertility. In addition, attention is paid to the composition of citric acid, which determines the acidity of the liquid, and zinc ions.

To conduct a study of the secret, a minimum number of 1.5-2 ml is required

Any deviations from the norm as a result of tests make it possible to identify diseases of the genitourinary system at the initial stage, even the appearance of symptoms. The analysis of the juice of the prostate gland must be carried out when detecting such diseases as: male infertility, which is divided into several types associated with a lack of sperm count, their shape and motility. The latter type is most dependent on the composition of the secretion of the prostate.

If there are deviations in the composition of the fluid, then the movement of the sperm will not be correct, and for this reason it simply will not reach the goal. Diseases of the prostate - inflammation, prostatitis, cancer, infectious diseases of the genitourinary system, and so on; also, an analysis is prescribed during the course of treatment to check the results of the treatment. In case of suspicion of infections, it is necessary to carry out another and bacterial culture.

An analysis will also be ordered if a man makes the following complaints:

• pain and stinging during urination - inflammation of the urinary canal often affects the prostate gland;
• pain in the perineum and groin area;
• frequent urination, especially at night;
• too frequent trips to the toilet and at the same time low jet density;
• selections that are yellow; frequent infectious diseases of the genitourinary sphere; decreased potency;

There are also contraindications to the survey:

• At a body temperature of 38C and above, the analysis is not performed, because the composition of the secretion changes.
• The procedure causes a rather strong painful sensation if the patient has hemorrhoids in the stage of exacerbation, internal or external fissures of the anus.
• If there is an inflammatory process in the body, the analysis will also be canceled, since the results will only confirm the presence of inflammation, but it will not be possible to clarify the diagnosis.
• Prostate tuberculosis.

If there are contraindications, the patient is prescribed a semen culture, or instrumental research options are used.

Before conducting a study of prostate juice, the patient needs to prepare. The preparation is easy to do, as it does not require anything special. No food should be taken 10 hours before the procedure. For this reason, the procedure is scheduled for the morning. An enema should be done in the morning. Before taking the test, you need to empty the bladder so that urine does not mix with the secretion of the prostate.

For two days, you should not take alcohol, go to the bathhouse and sauna. A man may need psychological help or taking sedatives, since most are extremely aggressive about the prostate massage procedure, but this is necessary for the test. For some time before the analysis, you should refrain from intimacy.

The term is determined by the doctor, but usually it is three to seven days. The analysis will be interpreted according to two parameters:

• Macroscopy of the secret.
• Secret microscopy.

The macroscopic properties include smell, volume, consistency and acidity of the secretion. A microscopic examination of the secretion of the prostate gland will provide information on such indicators as lipoid bodies, leukocytes, epithelial cells, Bettcher crystals. To find out if the results are positive, you need to compare them with the norm. However, indicators may change due to, for example, a microscope.

For this reason, it is necessary to compare the analysis results with the standards of the very laboratory in which the analysis was performed. Unfortunately, most laboratory technicians do not pay attention to the fact that the amount of juice released is small. The normal value is considered to be 0.5-2 ml.The density of the secret is no less important, because the reproductive function of a man depends on this indicator.

In addition, due to the increased density of the secreted fluid, the functioning of the penis may be disrupted. After taking the analysis for research, its decoding is carried out. At the beginning, the test results are compared with normal values. In this case, the number of secreted secretions will be from 2 drops to 4 ml. The color of the discharge is close to white. The consistency of the discharge is thick and viscous, the pH is sour. Indicators of leukoceturia should be from 0 to 12. Erythrocytes will be one. Amyloids are absent, and lecithin grains should be abundant, at least 1/2.

What happens with illness?

When a man has prostatitis, the test results deviate from normal values. By decoding, it is possible to identify the stage of the disease at the time of the analysis, to figure out whether the disease is chronic or exacerbated. In the case of taking tests during an exacerbation of the disease, the results will be as follows: the liquid will be cloudy, the color of the discharge will have a brown tint.

The color should be treated with special attention! When the secretion is red, it may indicate prostate cancer. The sweetish odor of the liquid will also be a symptom of an exacerbation of prostate inflammation. The number of leukocytes is up to half, but the number of lecithin grains, on the contrary, will be very small. So, the differences between the results of a study of a healthy man and a man who suffers prostatitis in the acute stage are obvious.

What will be the test results for a man with chronic prostatitis?

Indicators of leukoceturia exceed the norm at times. If the disease is in a chronic form, there will be about 10 leukocytes, and if their number is even higher, the doctor will conclude that the disease is in the acute stage. Prostate juice can be quite thick. The number of lecithin grains is very small, and this can be the reason for abnormalities in the functioning of the reproductive organ.

Also, as in the case of an aggravated form of the disease, the smell of prostate juice will be sweetish. The secret will be brown with a yellow tint. When the prostatitis is chronic but not bacterial, the results will be different. The liquid will be brown and sometimes even brown. The discharge will be cloudy, and there will be no characteristic odor. Leukoceturia readings will be normal. Lecithin grains are isolated. Erythrocytes will be more than 1/2 of the field of view.
