Sooner or later, almost every man with age or in the form of complications after a number of diseases can develop inflammation of the prostate. To find out the cause of such a process, a thorough diagnosis should be made.
The main way with which you can find out the ins and outs of men's health is the secret of the prostate, which should contain the so-called lecithin grains. To do this, you need to analyze the secret from the prostate gland and conduct a series of special laboratory tests. Thanks to only one analysis, we can state the presence of prostatitis, malignant neoplasms and adenomas.
What are lecithin grains?
Marked grains themselves, which are also called lipoid grains, are considered non-cellular formations that must be in the secretion of the prostate of any healthy man. It is thanks to these grains that it acquires a whitish hue.
A healthy man with normal lecithin grains in the secretion of the prostate should have a lot. Under a microscope, these compounds should be densely strewn with everything that might come into view. It is precisely by the number of such small elements that one can confidently judge the health or illness of any member of the stronger sex. The exact amount of lecithin grains shows the condition of the prostate itself, the presence of inflammation of its tissues and the severity.
Material sampling for further research
To date, there are only two methods by which you can extract the secretion of the prostate: from the urethra or the bladder. In both cases, before the fence itself, it is necessary to massage the prostate. To do this, you will have to stretch the walls of this organ through the rectum. During the procedure, the patient should lie on his side so that his knees are bent. Initially, it is necessary to massage from the edges to the center of the organ, and only then proceed to massage the isthmus. It is at this time that the secret will gradually stand out from the urethra.
The resulting material can be studied in several ways: in the native form or using a special staining method. You can also conduct an analysis of the polymerase chain reaction, which helps to find the causative agent of the infection in secret. In this case, the lecithin grains in the juice of the prostate will be, just their number will be reduced.
At the first stage of the study, one of the parts of the obtained secret is placed on glass and examined under a microscope. Then this juice is diluted with cold distilled water, after which it is mixed with methylene blue. The finished solution is placed in the Goryaev chamber, after which all grains are counted using a special formula. By the way, the increased number of marked elements does not affect the decoding of the spermogram itself.
If, during the massage, the secret did not begin to stand out, it may have got into the bladder from the urethra. In this case, it is necessary to examine the liquid that comes out from there by subjecting it to a centrifuge.
Proper preparation for the procedure
To calculate the lecithin grains in the secret of the prostate of a man correctly, it is necessary that he undergo a little preparation before the direct intake of the material. For starters, you should abandon sexual relations or masturbation for 7 days. 3 days before the procedure, alcohol and organic stress are excluded. By the way, at this time in the bathhouse or sauna is also impossible. On the eve of diagnosis, a man will have to make an enema to cleanse the intestines of feces.
Norm and possible deviations
In the absence of pathology, the lecithin grains in the analysis should reach the amount of 10 million. Under a microscope, this substance almost completely covers all the material. It is very important that there are no leukocytes in the prostate juice, or they are found in a single amount. This means that there is no inflammation and it’s too early to talk about prostatitis. Also, the normal content of these components indicates a healthy fertile function of the sperm itself. If there is a slight decrease in the concentration of these grains in secret, it is possible that a chronic inflammatory process has already begun in the prostate.
But it also happens that lecithin grains in the spermogram are completely absent. This means that the prostate was not massaged correctly. As a result, the fluid released from the urethra is urine and has nothing to do with the gland itself. In this case, it is better to conduct a second study. Also, a similar result can be with a serious inflammatory process, when the ducts of the gland become clogged. To eliminate this outcome, it is worthwhile to conduct a whole course of prostate massage, which will help establish blood circulation in this place and reduce the inflammatory process.
Even during the massage itself, the doctor can determine the state of the organ itself by its shape. For example, puffiness already indicates that lecithin grains will be a secret, but their quantity will significantly deviate from the norm.
Indications and prohibitions for analysis
The attending physician may order the patient to check the secretion of the prostate only in cases where there is frequent urge to the toilet, difficulty urinating, weakening the stream and soreness in the groin and perineum. That's just such a study can not be carried out when a person has a cold, he has a crack in the rectum from hemorrhoids or there is tuberculosis. Also, the secret fence should not be carried out with an acute manifestation of inflammation, otherwise the lecithin grains in the secretion of the prostate may disappear altogether.
What should be remembered?
From the above it follows that lecithin grains are considered an excellent signaling device about the presence of inflammatory processes in the body of a man, and more precisely - in the prostate gland. It is only necessary to conduct an examination of this body as a prophylaxis, for timely diagnosis and quick treatment. And then many male age-related problems can be forgotten forever.
