Patient's question:
Doctor: Hello! A few weeks ago, after going to bed in the morning, my lower back started to hurt very badly, and the pain gradually worsened. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up of my blood and urine. The doctor said there was some inflammation in my urinary system, but it wasn't serious, so they prescribed a box of Lai Xin (for urinary tract infections) from Zhejiang Medical University and painkillers. After taking the medicine, the pain in my lower back went away, but now it's again. How should I seek medical attention? Additionally, I have long-term neurasthenia and have trouble falling asleep every night, even though I stay up very late. I feel very tired at noon but can't sleep. How should I be treated for this? Looking forward to your reply, thank you!Doctor's answer:
In this case, you need to go to the hospital for a detailed urinalysis. At the same time, check your kidney function. If there is inflammation, use an adequate amount of antibiotics promptly to suppress it. Do not take painkillers lightly, as they can easily mask the condition. Regarding the question of "how to diagnose and treat lower back pain caused by urinary tract infection," we will stop here for now. If the condition does not improve, please go to the hospital for medical attention as soon as possible. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
