Was this a careful clean catch specimen? The findings are not consistent with a urinary tract infection as that small amount of bacteria in the colony count most likely comes from inevitable & unavoidable contamination of the specimen by skin bacteria. However, if you're experiencing urinary symptoms, I recommend consulting a urologist for appropriate workup.

Seems the urine was contaminated from your vaginal area and not a infection. Suggest a clean catch mid stream urine specimen ( wash area with soap and water and collect the urine from the middle of the stream when voiding without it touching the labia)
