Back pain: your symptoms point towards constipation more than UTI. In the absence of dysuria and frequency, it is hard to say it is UTI. And no water retention and bloated feeling is not part of UTI symptoms. In females all these symptoms can be part of second part of menstrual cycle too ( progesterone effect)
