Can uti cause waist pain?

Question

Along with the usual UTI symptoms, I've noticed a persistent ache in my lower back, right around my waistline. My mother said it might be related to the UTI. Can a urinary tract infection also cause pain in the waist area?

Saraswati Iyer · Accepted Answer

Sometimes deep pelvic congestion from a urinary tract infection can feel like a dull ache around the waist and lower back. While gentle deep breathing like Anulom Vilom can help calm the nervous system, you must take proper medical treatment for the infection. Don't stretch or twist too much while in pain.

Dude, yes! I literally thought I pulled a muscle in my lower back or waist area from the gym, but it was actually a UTI. Once I got my antibiotics from the doc, the back pain disappeared in like two days. Definitely get your urine checked.

Yes, a UTI can sometimes cause a radiating ache around your waist and lower back area. Please take plenty of rest, drink warm water, and see a doctor soon to get the right medicine. Hope you feel better.

If the pain is high up around your waist or back, it could mean the bladder infection is trying to move up towards the kidneys. Keep an eye out for fever or chills. I'd highly recommend seeing a doctor for a quick urine culture to get the correct antibiotic.

As someone managing diabetes, I know we are more prone to UTIs, and they can cause a nagging ache around the waist or flanks. Please don't try sweet cranberry juices or home remedies that can spike your blood sugar. Go straight to your doctor for a proper urine test and prescription.
