It might: The symptoms of a urinary tract infection..uncomfortable urination, sense of urgency & frequency..are due to irritation & inflammation of the urinary tract. While constipation would not be expected to inflame the urinary tract (they are separate) straining at stool, sitting a long time on the toilet, etc., might irritate the urinary voiding structures. Work on constipation: fluids, fiber, exercise
