On rare occasions women will suffer from a yeast infection with lower back pain. If you’re in this position you need to see your doctor as soon as possible to rule out any other infections.

Urinary tract infection

Lower back pain can be a sign that you’re suffering from a UTI. When the pain is in the lower back it could mean that your kidneys have been infected. This is why it’s important that you see your doctor as soon as possible. Kidney infections are dangerous, and need to be treated as soon as possible.

In some cases women just naturally assume that they’re suffering from a yeast infection when in fact, they only have a urinary tract infection. Thousands of women will incorrectly self diagnose their infection even if they’re sure of what they’re suffering from.

Other problems that can happen later

The sooner you see your doctor for a correct diagnosis the better your health will be. A kidney infection can lead to permanent kidney damage if it’s not treated in time. You can end up in hospital having antibiotics fed to you on a drip. This will cure your kidney infection, but this level of antibiotics in your body will have a massive impact on your health later in life.

Resistant yeast

If you have self diagnosed your yeast infection, and you’re suffering from lower back pain you may not have a yeast infection. If you’re treating your infection with a yeast infection cure then you could create a yeast infection, and create one that becomes resistant to the medication you’re using. You’ll upset your vagina’s natural bacterial balance for no reason, and because your infection won’t get cured you’ll continue to use the anti fungal treatment forever until you get a correct diagnosis.

If you suffer from any discomfort in the vaginal area a doctors appointment is the first thing you need to do. As soon as you have a correct diagnosis you can treat your infection as soon as possible, and get your health back to the way it should be.
