Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that your friend had gonococcal infection which got resolved with antibiotics.She had infection of Bartholene Gland too and now her routine urine test revealed presence of infection.
Infection of Bartholene gland always takes long time to get cured.
Please get urine culture done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to.so that infection can be controlled with appropriate antibiotic.
In the mean while continue taking Ciprofloxacin and switch on to appropriate antibiotic on getting culture report.
Ensure she cleans her genitals with warm water twice daily.
