No- get evaluated.: Additional information such as your sexual history as well as a physical examination is important since: 1.You are an adult male with a genitourinary infection- this is unusual and requires further evaluation, 2. Cipro (ciprofloxacin) does not cover certain sexually transmitted diseases such a Gonorrhea, Chlamydia and others, and 3. Delay in diagnosis risks potential infertility in the future.
