Hi, I have gone through your question. Vaginal itching, frequent urination an lower back pain are suggestive of infection of the genital tract (pelvic inflammatory disease) with urinary tract infection.
I would suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, get an vaginal swab examination, urine examination and ultrasound done, and treated accordingly.
Hope this answers your question.
Wishing you good health.
