What Causes Urinary Tract Infection?

Hi, I have been feeling discomfort and my doctor sent me for a blood test and urine clean catch test. My urine test showed a 6-20 white blood cell count and traces of Escherichia Coli. I am not taking antibiotics but was wondering...how does this happen? Am I not doing something? Not eating right? What can I do?

Thanks for contacting healthcare magic.

You have urinary tract infection so take proper antibiotics course. Otherwise problem may aggravate.

Take more water per day so dilute a urine and flush out a bacteria. Complete a antibiotics course.
Maintain proper hygiene.
Avoid caffeine, coffee, tea,soda....etc
Frequent urination.
Avoid tight clothes and wear a loose cloth.
Take a craneberry juice.
Urine alkalytic agent is helpful.
Consent a physician for further treatment.

I hope my guidance helpful to you..
Take care.
Thank you.
