What Causes Bloating In The Lower Abdomen While On Cipro For UTI?
Hi, I have been diagnosed with a UTI and was given a prescription for cipro (500MG). I have to take 2x/7 days. My question is, is it possible that the pill is making me fill a little bloated in the lower stomach? Also, many times when i go to the bathroom and wipe, there is a little bit of blood and I m staining. My menstrual cycle isn t supposed to start until next week. Could this medication be causing this?

HI , thanks for using healthcare magic
The blood may be linked to the UTI, blood in the urine is a symptom that can be seen in urinary tract infections.
It is not likely related to the medication.
Ciprofloxacin can cause nausea, indigestion and excess flatus (passing air) , so it is possible that it is linked the bloating that you are experiencing.
I hope this helps
