Can exercise worsen a UTI?

I have been having problems with UTI (bladder infections) for a while now. I am currently on anti-biotics prescribed by a doctor and was wondering if exercising will worsen my UTI? I haven’t been well for a while (flu etc.) and am feeling really irritated with me not being able to exercise. And I also don’t want to be sick again.

Actually, I think it helps! Being active aids your bladder function

Answer #2

Thanks. because I am really frustrated at not being able to do anything at the moment.

Answer #3

No, I doubt it…..tho it might cause more cramping if your UTI is bad enough. Keep flushing with water or cranberry juice….take the cranberry supplements…and if you still have it after 3 or 4 days, don’t mess around. Bladder infections have a nasty habit of going on up into the kidneys…so go to a Doc for antibiotics.

Answer #4

Already on them. Thanks for the answer.
