4. Bladder or Urinary Tract Infection
There are other things that aren’t related to your kidneys which could be behind the cause of your back pain, and if you are experiencing back pain together with the symptoms of a bladder or urinary tract infection, then you should make an appointment with your doctor so that the proper course of treatment can be started – the condition will likely disappear in a matter of days to weeks.
If the condition recurs after that, then it could be caused by something else that causes a repeated infection. This doesn’t have to cause panic: There are plenty of things this could be in turn, including something as simple as an allergy to your washing powder.
See a doctor if you have trouble figuring out the cause and the infection does come back – and watch out for symptoms that can mirror kidney problems and include other symptoms such as pain when urinating or discomfort during sex.
