I have recurrent uti. do i need to quit swimming and taking baths? my urologist says no, but my friend's uro says yes.

Changes: Do you know what the bacteria is that is causing the infection? Most common would be 'E. coli' - a normal bacteria in feces...When you are done swimming, sitting in a damp suit - the bacteria is drawn from the anal region to the urethra by 'wicking' action as the suit dries.. Do not sit in a wet suit - change when you get out of the water.
