Can UTI And Kidney Problems Cause Back Pain?

I have been getting constant UTI s since I moved countries. I have now been experiencing back pains for about 4 days now and the pain was kinda bad at first but tonight it has reached it s height and I am in serious pain. I have a UTI ( I have symptoms) right now. If I was not on birth control I would be having my period now. During my period I usually get back pains but never this bad before. I have taken two aspirin and am using a heating pad and the pain has gone down. Is it just back pain, period caused back pain, or kidney infection. ( I was also feeling nausous earlier but not anymore) Should I see a doctor?

UTI can also result in back pain. if your are near your periods time then it must be from periods. UTI back pain is more middle back and lower side too, if it resemble such pain plz visit your doctor ASAP to avoid further complication. heating pad and meds might give you temporarily relief but not a solution.
