Infection Posted: 01-19-04 13:54pm


I have been told that I have an infection called coliform. Does anybody know what this means and is it very serious.

From webmd.Com-- prostatitis prostatitis literally means "inflammation of the prostate gland due to infection." most urologists see at least one case of either acute or chronic prostatitis a day. Acute prostatitis means you have a fresh infection and the symptoms come on suddenly. In chronic prostatitis, the condition has existed over a long period of time. Classic symptoms include painful urination, painful ejaculation, and pus and/or blood in the urine. One of the most common causes of prostatitis is coliform bacteria. (escherichia coli, or e. Coli, is a strain of coliform bacteria.) coliform bacteria can travel from your colon (where there are always large amounts) into your bladder, urethra, or prostate. When you're constipated, you're especially vulnerable to higher levels of the bacteria, which will hitchhike to your reproductive organs through your lymphatic system or bloodstream.

Thank you for your reply. I got this infection when I went in hospital for an ectopic pregnancy. Then after I had been discharged my wound became infected and opened up, I had two holes where the stitches had been. First of all I had an infection called pseudomous or something like that then I got this infection. Is is very serious or nothing to worry about.
