The Four Glass Test In 1968 two urologists, Meares AND Stamey, published a paper about the four glass test for prostatitis. In those days doctors collected urine for examination in sterile glasses. Today, of course, sterile plastic specimen containers are generally used. (Meares EM AND Stamey TA: Bacteriologic localization patterns in bacterial prostatitis AND urethritis. Invest Urol. 1968 Mar;5(5):492-518.) Patients are asked to urinate their first 10 ccs of urine into a sterile cup. Then, they are asked to urinate 10 ccs of urine from their midstream into a sterile cup. Next, their prostate is massaged AND expressed prostatic secretions are collected. Finally, another 10 ccs of urine is collected to finish the "four glass collection." Doctors call these samples: VB1 - voided bladder 1, which represents the urethra. VB2 - voided bladder 2, which represents the bladder. EPS - expressed prostatic fluid, which represents the prostate. VB3 - voided bladder 3, which also represents the prostate. ובקיצור VB1-3
