Hi,

Presence of E. coli in urine does not suggest STD.

My guidelines at present
- drink more liquids
- urinary alkaliser as cranberry sachet in water
- control of blood sugar
- antibiotic support with the prescription of your doc as per the culture sensitivity report of the urine
- keep genital hygiene at its best
- avoid vaginal intercourse (if active at present).

Be in regular follow up with your doctor about the necessary further guidelines to cure at earliest.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel,
