Can exercise make a UTI worse

[jc1001]

Can exercise make a Urinary Tract Infection worse by raising the core body temperature a few degrees thus allowing bacteria to multiple at a faster rate.



Thanks in advance

I had the same question about doing yoga during UTI and didn't find the answer. So, I decieded that because I was feeling so much better, I will take level 2 yoga class instead of the regular level 3 that I take just to speed up the healing. I felt good during the class, but at night the symptons got worse and next day was a complete misery. The pain went to kidneys and I had to take antibiotics.
I hope that somedody else who has the same question will find my experience helpful.
