Does gynecological inflammation cause lower back pain?

Patient's question:

I previously had a thorough examination due to vaginal itching and abnormal discharge, and it was found that I had vaginitis. After a while, I felt severe lower back pain, and it became uncomfortable whenever I bent over. I wondered if it was related to my gynecological condition. Does gynecological inflammation cause lower back pain?

Doctor's answer:

If a woman has vaginal itching, this is usually caused by vaginal inflammation. In this case, it generally does not cause lower back pain in women. Additionally, some common gynecological diseases in women, such as appendicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease, typically cause abdominal pain. However, if lower back pain reappears, it is best to have a hospital examination to check for any obvious damage to the kidneys.
