How to take prostatitis fluid

When male friends are undergoing disease examinations in hospitals, they often need to take prostatitis fluid. Generally speaking, doctors and nurses can help patients take prostatitis fluid, but some male friends are shy and will take prostatitis fluid by themselves. So, generally speaking, how do you take prostatitis fluid by yourself? Today we will teach you some methods, hoping to help you take out prostatitis fluid faster.

Prostatic fluid is the secretion of the prostate. The secretion of prostatic fluid is controlled by male hormones, and the daily secretion volume is about 0.5 to 2 ml. It is an important component of semen and one of the seminal plasma components in semen, accounting for about 1/10 to 1/3 of the ejaculated semen. 1/6 is about 0.5 ml. In the ejaculation sequence, prostatic fluid is one of the leading components of semen. The protein content in prostatic fluid is very low, mainly containing high concentrations of zinc ions, acid phosphatase, protease, fibrosis, spermine, aliphatic polypeptides, etc. Among them, protease and fibrosis have the effect of promoting semen liquefaction. The detection of acid phosphatase and citric acid can help judge the function of the prostate and whether there is cancer.

Collection method

Before collecting prostatic fluid, you should abstain from sex for 3 to 7 days. Because prostatic fluid is a major component of semen, if you have had sexual intercourse recently, the collection may fail. In addition, ejaculation and emotional excitement can increase the white blood cell count in prostatic fluid, thus affecting the diagnosis. However, if you abstain from sex for more than 7 days, white blood cells will accumulate in the prostate, which will also create a false impression of inflammation.

When collecting prostatic fluid, the patient should urinate first. Generally, the examination can be done by bending over with the buttocks raised, or lying on the right side. When the doctor slowly inserts a finger from the anus and touches the prostate, the patient should open his mouth to breathe and relax the anus to cooperate with the doctor's operation. The doctor uses massage to make the prostatic fluid flow or drip out of the urethra, and then collects it with a glass slide or glass tube for examination.

The method of prostate massage is very simple. The patient's family can also help with the massage. The massage method is introduced as follows: First, the patient should empty his bowels, then lie on the bed in a knee-chest position or side-lying position. The operator wears a finger glove or a milk glove on the index finger of the right hand, or a condom can be used instead. Apply a small amount of vaseline or paraffin oil on the finger glove. During the operation, massage around the anus for a few times to relax the anal muscles, then slowly insert the index finger into the anus, with the fingertip downward. About 3-4 cm below it, you can touch the chestnut-sized prostate, with a shallow groove in the center. Press the two lobes of the prostate from the outside to the inside and below for 3-4 times, and then press the central groove from top to bottom for 3-4 times in sequence. At this time, the patient will feel like urinating, and milky white liquid will flow out of the urethra. Use a glass slide to collect it and send it for examination. If no liquid flows out, you can collect urine for testing after the massage. As long as the urine is turbid after the massage, it means that a small amount of prostatic fluid has entered the urethra after being squeezed by the massage and flushed out by the urine.

B-ultrasound is also a common method for prostate examination, including transrectal detection and transpubic upper abdominal detection, which can accurately measure the prostate with an error of no more than 5%. It has important diagnostic significance for various prostate diseases and has the advantages of being simple, non-invasive, non-destructive and fast.

X-ray examinations are of great value in the diagnosis of prostate diseases. For example, plain films can detect whether there is calcification or stones in the prostate. Contrast imaging can help detect whether there is prostate hyperplasia or prostate cancer.

CT examination is even more important for the differential diagnosis of prostate diseases. Prostate puncture biopsy is very useful for clarifying the nature of prostate masses, and is of great help in clarifying the tissue typing and cytological characteristics of prostate tumors. It can be performed by transrectal needle aspiration biopsy or perineal puncture biopsy. It is painful and traumatic, but very necessary. In addition, lower urinary tract urodynamics examination is very helpful in diagnosing prostate hyperplasia. Cystoscopy can directly observe the hyperplasia of the posterior urethra, seminal colliculus, and the middle and lateral lobes of the prostate, which is also very important for diagnosing prostate diseases.
