Brief Answer:
Can be a renal calculus.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The symptoms of UTI that you have can be resistant to ciprofloxacin. It is best to get a urine culture sensitivity test done to find out the exact cause.
Avoid acidic fruit juices like lime juice, orange juice, etc.
Plenty of cranberry juice will help in reducing the symptoms.
Examine the external genital area carefully for any injury and rashes.
If the symptoms do not improve you can get your ultrasound scan done to rule out any possibility of renal or ureteric calculus.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.

Thank you Dr. for the reply.
I have been drinking cranberry juice and also taking herbal supplements but no luck.
My gynecologist wants me to see urologist. Should I do that or ask her for urine culture sensitivity test?

if I have renal calculus what type of stones do you think i might have if I do not have pain and only frequent urination?
