What Does E.coli In Urine Test For UTI Indicate?

I have had over 15 uti s in the last 8 months. I ve had ct scans blood tests and cystoscope. They have all been fine, except for 4 cluster of red veins. Not sure what words he used. Now for my question. Can allergies drain down my throat and through my bladder cause uti s? As you see by question I am desperate to find an answer to my problem. I also shows leukocytes with home test and sometimes at the Drs office, but when he sends urine out to lab it shows nothing except for a coupe of times E. coli . I also started premirin. Can you help me?

Urologist 's  Response
hi,
there may be a reason for recurrent UTI. Throat infection should not go in bladder. I would like to know your age and sex to assess reason for recurrent UTI. you should meet a urologist and insist for uroflowmeter test and ultrasound post void residual urine.

thanks
