Got UTI after doing kegel exercise

2019-03-04 11:02:02
Hello Doctor, I went through C section surgery last month to deliver my baby. Post that, I started doing kegel ( contract and release pelvic floor muscle during urination) to contract the uterus. It's been 15 days now. And now my urinary tract has got infected due to this. Please advice if I should stop doing kegel further now or please suggest a medicine to cure the infection. Thanks, Priyanka

Hi good evening Thnxs for your question Congratulations for being mother. Kegel exercise is for improve ur plevic muscles tone after normal vaginal delivery. In normal vaginal delivery plevic muscles stretch too much therefore we advise kegel exercise. But in ceaseian delivery no need to do kegel. Don't do it. Drink lots of water and don't hold urine for long time. Use my online consultation link so we can discuss ur case details and advice u accordingly. prac.to/drpanchani

Excercises has nothing to do with UTI. Give urine sample for routine examination and culture and sensitivity. See your doctor nearby
