Crystals in seminal fluid
Crystals in seminal fluid. Polarised light micrograph of a sample of abnormal seminal fluid. The sample contains crystals, which may indicate a problem with the prostate. For example, if the crystals are composed of uric acid, this may be caused by an infection of the prostate (prostatitis). The prostate is a male sex gland thatsurrounds the urethra just below the bladder and secretes seminal fluid, an alkaline liquid that forms part of the semen.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases crystals found in seminal fluid under polarised light. The image, captured at a magnification of x570 and printed 10 centimetres wide, reveals an abnormal sample that may indicate a problem with the prostate gland. Crystals composed of uric acid can be seen, suggesting a potential infection known as prostatitis. The prostate is a vital male sex gland located just below the bladder, surrounding the urethra. It secretes seminal fluid, which forms part of semen during ejaculation. When crystals like these appear in seminal fluid, it could be symptomatic of various disorders or unhealthy conditions within the body. Histopathological analysis using light microscopy allows for detailed examination of tissue samples to aid in diagnosis and understanding disease processes. In this case, the crystallised accumulation provides valuable insights into potential issues affecting the male reproductive system. By studying such histological images closely, medical professionals gain crucial information about pathologies and disorders related to reproduction pathology and andrology. Identifying crystal build-up helps diagnose underlying problems that may require further investigation or treatment. This remarkable photograph serves as a reminder of how microscopic details can provide significant clues about our health and well-being.
