Urinary tract infection in women causes back pain

Physiological differences make women the main group of patients with urinary tract infections. In addition to bladder irritation symptoms, such as inability to hold urine, frequent urination, and painful urination, many female patients sometimes also have back pain. What is the reason for back pain caused by urinary tract infection in women?

1. 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 hematoma and edema, the bacteria can easily enter the pelvis through the bladder wall, causing the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes to become infected and inflamed. Inflammation of these internal organs can cause low back pain. If the low back pain of female patients with urinary tract infection continues to worsen, and symptoms such as lower abdominal distension and pain occur, a gynecological examination should be carried out in time to see if gynecological inflammation occurs.

2. Urinary tract infection causing ureteritis or subacute pyelonephritis

When the urinary tract is infected, the amount of bacteria in the urine increases, and some bacteria can move back to the urethra and renal pelvis, causing ureteritis or subacute pyelonephritis. The clinical symptoms of these two diseases include low back pain, inability to hold urine, frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating, which are the same as urinary tract infection, so they are easily ignored by patients. If a female patient takes medicine for the treatment of urinary tract infection for a long time and the symptoms of inability to hold urine, frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating do not improve, and she also has lower back pain, she should consider whether she has ureteritis or subacute pyelonephritis.

The above content can clearly explain why female patients feel back pain after suffering from urinary tract infection. This is mainly for female friends. There will naturally be another set of names for men. However, both male and female friends must maintain a stable lifestyle in their daily lives and do a good job in their own health care to avoid the occurrence of diseases.
