A member asked:

E.coli in urine culture indicates what? pain in testis and sometimes swelling in right testicular veins+hard&tender epididymis when urinate/pass stool

E. coli: Urinary tract infection may be indicated by the presence of bacteria in urine culture if present in large numbers (>100, 000/ml). The manner of collection and the symptoms experienced and the urinalysis are all essential components of diagnosis. Sounds as if you may have epididymitis. See a urologist and get evaluated. Good luck and feel better..

Bacterial UTI...: E. coli of >50,000 colonies/ml from urine culture with properly collected fresh urine confirmed having bacterial UTI; it is the most common bug for UTI, which may lead to epididymitis, epididymoorchitis, ... depending on antibiotic treatment and response. More? Seek evaluation / counseling from your doc or urologist.
