Study (analysis) of prostate secretion (prostate gland)
The prostate secretion is obtained after vigorous massage of the prostate gland.
Macroscopic examination of prostate secretion (prostate gland)
The amount of prostate secretion. The normal amount of secretion ranges from 3-4 ml to 1-2 drops.
Color of prostate secretion. The liquid is whitish, thick, viscous. In purulent processes in the prostate gland, the liquid becomes cloudy yellow, and the admixture of blood gives it various shades of red.
The smell of prostate secretion. Normally, it has a characteristic smell due to the presence of a special compound - spermine. Inflammatory and other pathological processes in the prostate gland give a different smell to the secretion.
Reaction of prostate secretion (pH). Normally, pH is slightly acidic; in inflammatory processes in the prostate gland, pH shifts to the acidic side.
