Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I have gone through your reports. E.cold is gram negative bacteria, and it is the most common cause for urinary tract infection (UTI). If it is present in lower numbers than no need to worry much about this. But in your report e.cold count is very high. Almost 1 lakh per ml. This suggests significant UTI. So I advise you to get done urine culture and sensitivity to guide antibiotic therapy. You may need antibiotics for at least 10-15 days Hygiene of private part is must.  Chat Doctor.  Consult your doctor and discuss all these and start treatment accordingly.
