A simple urine test is all that is required to diagnose a UTI. These tests are very sensitive and you can trust that your diagnosis was correct.

The medications you were given are also very common to treat a UTI.

Hyospasmal is given to stop cramping in the bladder which is a common side effect of having a UTI.  Not everyone gets the cramping, but the medication will not harm you and if it keeps those painful cramps away......that is a good thing! (They hurt like the dickens)

Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic that works extremely well against the bacteria in the body that causes UTI's.

The Ibuprofen is just an aspirin substitute for general aches and pains from dealing with any infection.

A couple things you can do at home to help get rid of the UTI faster is to drink cranberry juice. It is very acidic and bad bacteria do not thrive in an acidic environment. If you don't like cranberry juice, just drink lots and lots of water which will help flush the bacteria out in your urine.

Taking a higher dose of Vitamin C will also make your urine more acidic.

Urinate frequently, even if you feel you only have a "little" bit in there. You want to get that bacteria out of there!!!!

Wear loose, airy pants that will allow air to flow around your vaginal areal. Forgo wearing underpants to keep the area moisture free.

If you do experience any cramping or spasms, apply a warm heating pad to the area.

You should have been told all of this before you left the doctors or given some written instructions on how to get through this. I'm sorry they weren't more caring.

For most UTIs, the SYMPTOMS go away within 24 hours after you begin treatment........but the bacteria is still in there, so it is VERY important you finish ALL of the medication you were given.

Get plenty of rest and you'll be fine in no time.

It definitely sounds like you have a UTI. Here are the most common symptoms:

Strong and frequent urge to urinate.
Cloudy, bloody, or strong smelling urine.
Pain or burning sensation when urinating.
Nausea and vomiting.
Muscle aches and abdominal pains.

Get in to see your doctor as soon as you can and get started on some antibiotics, which will cure this very quickly. Until you see your doctor, drink as much water as you can to help flush the bacteria out.

UTI's can be incredibly uncomfortable but they are very, very common. Most women have quite a few over their lifetimes and they are nothing to worry about.......but they DO need to be treated!
I wish you the best
