1)You should get an MRI of pelvis and prostate to check there is no abscess in or around the prostate.
2)Urine for microscopy and culture.
All the best.

WBC count suggests a bacterial infection. Please consult a General Physician in your area for a physical examination and further management.

A WBC count repeatedly between 12,000–17,000 every few months usually indicates ongoing inflammation or immune activation, not necessarily a dangerous condition. In your situation, there are a few likely contributors:
• Chronic prostatitis can periodically trigger low-grade inflammation, causing WBC elevation even without fever.
• Allergic conditions (asthma, skin itching, eye allergy) can also increase certain white cells, especially eosinophils, which may raise the total WBC count.
• Iron deficiency anemia itself does not directly raise WBC, but it can coexist with chronic inflammatory states.
• Sometimes stress, allergies, or mild infections can transiently elevate WBC even when symptoms are minimal.
However, since this has been recurrent for years, it is important to rule out:
• Persistent infection (urinary or prostate)
• Chronic inflammatory disease
• Allergic eosinophilia
• Rare hematological causes (much less common but should be excluded if counts remain persistently high)
A WBC of 12k–17k is considered mild to moderate elevation, and if it fluctuates rather than continuously rising, it is more suggestive of reactive causes rather than blood cancer.
Next Steps
1. Repeat CBC with differential count
This will show whether the increase is mainly:
• Neutrophils → infection/inflammation
• Eosinophils → allergy/parasitic causes
• Lymphocytes → viral or immune causes
2. Check inflammatory markers
• CRP
• ESR
3. Evaluate chronic prostatitis
• Urine routine and culture
• PSA (if not checked recently)
• Urologist evaluation if symptoms persist
4. Investigate anemia
• Serum ferritin
• Iron profile
• B12 and folate levels
5. If WBC remains persistently above ~15,000 without explanation, a hematologist consultation and peripheral smear may be useful.
Health Tips
• Control allergy triggers (dust, pollution, cold air) because uncontrolled allergies can chronically stimulate the immune system.
• Maintain good hydration and urinary hygiene to reduce prostatitis flare-ups.
• Include iron-rich foods: spinach, legumes, dates, jaggery, lean meat, eggs.
• Treat iron deficiency properly if ferritin is low, as persistent anemia worsens fatigue.
• Regular moderate exercise and good sleep help regulate immune function.
• Avoid unnecessary repeated antibiotics unless infection is confirmed.
Because your symptoms involve recurrent high WBC, allergies, prostatitis, and anemia together, a structured evaluation can identify the exact trigger and prevent repeated episodes of weakness.
If you would like, you can also share your latest CBC report, and I can interpret the pattern and guide you more precisely during an online consultation.
