Urinary tract infections can cause lower back pain?

Patient's question:

I am 41 years old this year, and I have had a urinary tract infection for several days. When I urinate, I feel uncomfortable inside the urethra, with a stinging sensation. The urethral opening is also swollen very badly. Besides, my lower back also hurts very badly. Does a urinary tract infection cause lower back pain? What medicine is good for lower back pain?

Doctor's answer:

Patients with urinary tract infections who do not receive timely treatment may experience pain at the urethral opening and symptoms of lower back pain. It is recommended that patients take Sanjin tablets and levofloxacin tablets orally for symptomatic treatment. While undergoing medication, patients should drink plenty of plain water, pay attention to personal hygiene, strictly avoid sexual activity, and avoid overexertion. It is also advisable to maintain a proper diet. Lastly, it is important to maintain a positive mood in daily life, as a good mood is very helpful for the recovery of the disease.
