A member asked:

Can frequent lower back pain cause frequent urination? if so, why and what's the problem?

UTI: You may have a urinary infection causing both the back pain and the frequent urination. I suggest you go get checked by your physician.

Rarely: Sometimes if there is a urinary tract infection or prostate infection, these can present with back pain and urinary frequency and should be ruled out.
