Dear- thanks for using our service .It looks that you have urinary tract infection. The most common antibiotic used for UTI is cipro. I don't know why they gave you Flagyl too. It might be that you have a concomitant vaginal infection from bacterial vaginosis or they are thinking in an intestinal infection due to history of IBS and want to have a broad coverage with Flagyl. You should ask your doctor what is the rationale of using both.
I hope that my advise has been helpful
