Brief Answer:
E.coli is the most common cause of urinary infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr XXXXXXX

Welcome to health care magic.

E.coli is a gram negative bacteria which normally lives in our gut. This bacteria is the most common cause of urinary tract infection.

In your case, I am suspecting chronic urinary tract infection which has spread and infected your seminal vesicles.

E.coli is usually sensitive to Amikacin, Cephalosporins and Quinolones.

I suggest you upload scanned copy of your culture and sensitivity report on the link provided on our webpage for me to tell you which antibiotic to be started.

You have to take appropriate antibiotics based on the senstitivity report for 7-10 days.

Get in touch with your health care provider for prescription of appropriate antibiotics.

In addition, I suggest you drink at least 3-4 liters of water to flush out the bacteria from the urinary tract.

Maintenance of personal hygiene is a must.

I hope I have helped you with this answer.

Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Review culture and sensitivity report

Detailed Answer:
It is essential to determine whether or not you have significant E. coli. If it is significant, we will need to start antibiotic as per sensitivity report. I wish to review culture and sensitivity report to comment further. Please use the site’s uploader to upload reports.

Until then you can take over the counter pain killers such as ibuprofen to control pain.
