Abstract:
Objective To discuss the value of expressed prostate secretion(EPS) pH test in the diagnosis of chronie prostatitis. Methods EPS was obtained from 86 out-patients with chronic prostatitis, pH test and microscopy field being studied, prostate ultrasonography was performed after filling bladder. Results Mean pH of the EPS was (7.0±0.5), EPS-WBC was (20±10)/HP, and prostate ultrasonography positive rate were 63.9 % (55/86). pH of the EPS and the frequency of ultrasound abnormal ities were significantly correlated to the WBC in EPS.There was no correlation between age, disease process duration and the pH of EPS. Conclusion In chronic prostatitis, EPS-pH was positively correlated with the ultrasonography abnormalities and the WBC elevation of EPS, and EPS-pH test in the diagnosis of chronic prostatitis were meaning and value.
