While swimming is generally a good, low-impact exercise, individuals with Interstitial Cystitis (IC) should be cautious about pool 💦 chemicals and potential irritation, so it’s important to test sensitivity and rinse 🚿 thoroughly after swimming 🏊 .
[Nage et cystite interstitielle]
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
- Swimming as a Potential Exercise: Swimming is a great option for people with IC because it’s a low-impact activity that can be gentle on the bladder and pelvic floor.
- Pool Chemicals and Irritation: The chemicals in swimming 🏊♂️ pools, particularly chlorine, can irritate the bladder and urinary tract, potentially exacerbating IC symptoms.
- Remove Bathing Suit and Shower Immediately: Remove your swimsuit 🩱 as soon as possible and take a shower 🚿 to further minimize exposure to chemicals.
For me personally, swimming helps with the pressure in my bladder.
I am not sure why, but when I am in a swimming pool, my bladder feels better. The pressure seems to diminish somewhat. As far as chemicals in the water💧, I have not noticed any issues relating to my IC. However, some people do have major issues with swimming due to the chlorine or pool chemicals.
