What Causes Abdominal Pain And Positive E Coli Result?

I have had a lot of pain in my lower abdomen for almost 2 months. The pain seems to go away during the day, but is back at night when I'm laying in bed. I had an internal exam and the dr. said there was a golf ball size mass. I had an ultrasound done today, but they would not tell me what they saw. My husband saw the ultrasound monitor and saw at least 1 large mass and possibly 2 smaller ones. My Dr who did the initial internal called today and said my urine test came back positive for e coli. What's going on? Is this normal? I have an appt to see the OBG/YN in 2 days to find out the results of the ultrasound. Does this sound like cysts or something worse?

HI.
The cause of pain in abdomen can be urinary tract infection and / or the masses in the abdomen .
The ultrasonography says 2 masses. These can be Ovarian cancers or uterine fibroids or cysts of the Kidney or mesentery. A CT scan will be confirmatory and may need surgery to get these removed and subjected to the histopathology examination.
The E. coli infection of the urine can be well tackled by an antibiotic as per the culture and sensitivity report of the urine and metronidazle
