Is It Safe To Take Ciprofloxacin For Pain In Abdominal Region ?

Hi, I went to my primary physician last week due to lower abdominal pain , and discomfort in my kidney, he tested my urine and said there was no infection, then asked if I was menstruating, at the moment I wasn't and I thought I wasn't going to because I had my period in the beginning of this month... He said I may have kidney stones, I have not gone for an abdominal scan but the pain is not pain exactly it's more like discomfort and it does not burn when I urinate... I have been discharging and spotting all month... My doctor prescribed ciprofloxacin just in case it was an infection... I got my period the next,day... I have been taking the medication for 7 of 10 days now I have been in a lot of pain and my flow is really heavy on my 7th day of menstruating... Can the pills cause this or is there a deeper underlying problem... I have no medical insurance at this time and cannot afford testing and specialist visits please help me

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can understand your concern.
According to your symptoms ,you needn't take ciprofloxacin any more.
Drink 10-12 glasses fluids daily.
You should have an ultrasound scan-KUB, to know the cause for your pain.
You should check blood routine,RBS,creatinine,platelets,and urine routine.
This is needed to give you specific curative treatment.
If you've any doubt,you can send your reports to me, as a direct question.
