Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can understand your concern.
If your CT -IVU/(CECT),is normal, then you don't need to worry at all.
If your urine culture showed sensitivity to Cipro, then a full course of it, will cure the urinary infection.
Drink 10-12 glasses fluids daily, for prevention of recurrent infection.
Your flank pain may be a muscular spasm only. After stopping the Cipro, repeat the urine culture, and confirm there's no residual infection.
For my expert opinion,you can send it as a direct question, in my name.
