The choice of Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) as an atypical cause of back pain in women is substantiated by the anatomical and physiological differences that make women more susceptible to these infections. When a UTI occurs, it can lead to referred pain in the lower back due to inflammation and irritation of the surrounding tissues, especially if the infection ascends to the kidneys, resulting in a condition known as pyelonephritis.

This is particularly significant for women, as they have a shorter urethra, making it easier for bacteria to reach the bladder and potentially the kidneys. While kidney stones are also a known cause of back pain, they are less specific to women and can affect anyone. Similarly, osteoarthritis and herniated discs are more commonly associated with typical back pain, related to age and lifestyle factors rather than a specific gender-related predisposition. Thus, UTIs are an atypical yet important consideration when assessing back pain in women, highlighting the need for a comprehensive evaluation that includes possible urinary tract complications.
