Prostatic Secretion with Antibiogram

Prostatic Secretion Analysis – An Essential Investigation for Men’s Health

The prostatic secretion analysis is an important diagnostic test that helps identify the pathogens that can cause prostate infections. It can detect the presence of common bacteria, fungi (molds), and specific microorganisms such as Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma hominis, and Ureaplasma urealyticum, responsible for conditions such as urethritis and urethro-prostatitis.

Why is this test important?

To correctly diagnose a prostate infection and prescribe appropriate treatment, it is crucial to identify the pathogen. The results of the analysis help the specialist recommend the right treatment and ensure a quick and effective recovery.

When is the analysis recommended?

It is important to coordinate the timing of the analysis with the specialist doctor, either before or after treatment. Ideally, the test should be performed before starting antibacterial therapy or two weeks after its completion.

Collection instructions:

• Abstinence from urination: avoid urination for at least 3 hours before the procedure.

The collection of samples is performed in specialized clinics by a specialist doctor or laboratory technician, under conditions of maximum safety and hygiene.
