“This means that chronic and recurrent UTIs aren’t just causing pain, and being bad for your urinary health, they’re bad for your cardiovascular health because they’re preventing young, fit people from exercising,” she told“They’re preventing middle-aged people from exercising and it’s so important to stay active when you’re getting older.”
“Children with chronic UTI are frequently unable to exercise or play sports with their peers due to living in constant pain,” CUTIC added. Denise Rawls, interim head of communications at Endometriosis UK, said people with the condition do not need to stop exercising but it is important to “listen to your body and do what works for you”.
