Is Increasing Water Consumption Helpful In Recovering From E.coli?

Hellow Sirs, I ve been trying to have a child with my wife the last 6 months lets say. I am a healthy 34 year old guy. Recently the doctor that is observing my wife asked me to do full spermography test. All is good regarding the count etc...but the only problem was that i was infected with Escherichia coli ( to be honest i made a reasearch on the net and i got worried...do i have to drink a lot of water? is the medicine that he gave me good? i never had pains or something down there so it was quite a shock for me when i saw the results Looking forward for your answer

Hello
I appreciate your concern
E coli are bacterias which may cause UTI (urine infection) in both men and women
So you drink lots off water than it can be flushed off very easily

Otherwise you can ask your doctor for urine culture and sensitivity test and accordingly a course of antibiotics under supervision of your doctor is advisable.

Here I would like further information to guide you even better
have you seen any discharge through penis or mixed it up with urine?
Relevant medical history like diabetes or other metabolic disease like thyroid or liver disease

Please revert back to me with more queries I will gladly answer you
Best wishes
