Excessive vaginal discharge and lower back pain may be caused by pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine prolapse, or other conditions. Pelvic inflammatory disease mainly presents with increased vaginal discharge, a sensation of heaviness in the lower abdomen, and discomfort in the lower back or sacral area, with pain often occurring after physical exertion or sexual intercourse. If the uterus descends from its normal position into the vagina, it can lead to increased vaginal discharge, a protruding mass at the vaginal opening, and lower back pain. If symptoms such as abnormal vaginal discharge or lower back pain occur, a thorough medical evaluation and treatment at a hospital are necessary.
