You can find all those *things* in your urine when you have a UTI. UTI's can imply a bladder or kidney infection, both or one. I assume they did a culture. Find out what *bug* you were growing. They also do a sensitivity to determine what antibx to use. Maybe the Cipro isn't what you need. Bladder infections cause alot of the burning and frequency symptoms. Kidney infections tend to make you feel really awful all over with some back and flank pain, too. It is not unusual for a GP to refer you to a urologist (bladder and assorted tubing) or nephrologist (kidney and assorted parts), particularly if you have frequent problems with UTI's. Don't freak out about that. More testing might be needed or not. Problems (weird stuff in your urinalysis) you describe are quite frequent in females particularly. Contact the office and get more details. And DRINK WATER. Hope this helps !!!
