Pain In The Kidney Area Due To Cyst. Treatment?
Hello! I had urine dipstick done at the doctors office on Thursday which came back positive , I got put on cipro ( I had pain in my right kidney, no blood, little frequency, little pain in my pelvic area, I do also have a cyst on my right ovary ). My urine culture came back negative so they told me to stop cipro and that the pain in my kidney Is from the cyst. Not sure if its a good idea to stop the antibiotic but I also don't want to take it if not necessary. Stil have the pain around my kidney area , it is manageable but it worries me ...

Hi
It is better to stop ciprofloxacin if there is no infection in the urinary tract. Cyst is left alone if no symptoms. But if pain or torsion present then it can be surgically removed.
