Why does a woman have lower back pain due to urinary tract infection?

Women are different from men. Their urinary tract is very short and in direct contact with the outside world. Therefore, if you are not careful in your daily life, it is easy to cause urinary tract infection. Sometimes it is not only a urinary tract infection, but also back pain. What is the reason for this? When you have such a problem, you must be full of doubts in your heart. Let’s take a look at how female urinary tract infection can cause back pain?

Physiological differences make women the main group of patients with urinary tract infections. In addition to bladder irritation symptoms, such as urinary urgency, frequent urination, and urinary pain, many female patients sometimes also have low back pain. What is the reason for this?

Urinary tract infection causes gynecological inflammation

Gynecological inflammation is one of the common causes of low back pain in women. When a urinary tract infection occurs, the bacteria in the bladder increase, and the patient's bladder wall is congested and edematous. The bacteria can easily enter the pelvic cavity through the bladder wall, causing uterus,

The ovaries and fallopian tubes become infected and inflamed, and inflammation of these organs can cause low back pain. If female patients with urinary tract infection have worsening back pain and symptoms such as lower abdominal pain and distension, they should undergo a gynecological examination in time.

Check to see if there is any gynecological inflammation.

Urinary tract infection leading to ureteritis or acute pyelonephritis

When a urinary tract infection occurs, the amount of bacteria in the urine increases, and some bacteria can retrograde to the ureter and renal pelvis, causing ureteritis or acute pyelonephritis. The clinical manifestations of these two diseases include low back pain, urgency, frequency, and pain when urinating, which are the same as urinary tract infection, so they are easily overlooked by patients. If a female patient has been taking medication for urinary tract infection for a long time and the symptoms of urgency, frequency and pain when urinating do not improve, and lower back pain occurs, consider whether ureteritis or acute pyelonephritis has occurred.

It turns out that urinary tract infection will allow bacteria to enter the female reproductive organs from the urethra, and then reach the female uterus, ovaries, etc., causing inflammation in these places. When these parts are inflamed, there will be a feeling of lower back pain. Therefore, you must pay attention to hygiene in your daily life. Not only some things that come into direct contact with private parts, but also the toilet at home needs to be disinfected.
