A member asked:

If e.coli is found in urine culture. does this causes prostatitis or epididymitis or any other infections? what are the treatments for e.coli?

Dr. Jesse Mills answered

Specializes in Urology

Maybe: E. Coli in a man's urine is most often a sign of incomplete bladder emptying. This may lead to epididymitis from increased back pressure along the vas. See a urologist.
