Patient's question:
I have pain and incomplete urination. Upon careful examination, I found that I have a urinary tract infection. Recently, I've also been experiencing some lower back pain. Does a urinary tract infection cause lower back pain?Doctor's answer:
Urinary tract infections can also cause symptoms of lower back pain and discomfort, leading to frequent urination and urgency. It's best to rest, drink more hot water, maintain good personal hygiene, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. It is recommended to take metronidazole, ciprofloxacin, and furadantin orally for treatment. Carefully observe the recovery progress, and if necessary, undergo a urinalysis for examination.
