Suggest Treatment For Persistent IBS While On Cipro

I have had IBS for about 15 years now, and I spend approximately an hour each morning on the toilet when I wake up in the morning. Since about mid-April, my urine has included some rust colored specks and some brown liquid, but only after having a bowel movement. In late May, I went in to an urgent care facility and had a urinalysis, which showed no signs of any concerns. I was put on Cipro for 10 days as a precaution. The specks and the brown liquid continue to appear at least 5 days a week, some days barely noticeable and some days very obvious. Is this a cause for concern or something that comes with age? I am now 61 years old.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

No, it is not a change that comes with age. It may not be an indicator of a serious problem but it is definitely not an expected change.

You may need to consider having a urine sample sent to the lab for more in depth analysis.
The lab would be able to look at the specimen and determine the exact nature of the substances in the urine.

I hope this helps
