I have recently been dx with a kidney infection. I'm currently on cipro. I also have been experiencing light spotting that is red/brown and various menstrual cycle symptoms for 2 plus weeks without the start of my cycle. Is this normal with kidney infections or should I return to my DR.

To diagnose a kidney infection, the health care provider reviews the patient's medical history, checking in particular for a history of urinary tract infection (UTI). During physical examination, the physician may gently press the kidney area to see how tender or painful it is. Other symptoms also are considered; for example, fever and back pain are more likely to indicate a kidney infection than a lower urinary tract infection.
Laboratory tests include urine samples to detect blood, pus, bacteria, white blood cells, or red blood cells in the urine. Blood tests may be performed to check for infection.
