Coughing and leaking all week and now cystitis...link?

[tessiegirl]

Hi all.
So I have been ill and off work for the past week. Had a really awful cold and chesty cough so have been leaking urine frequently - the joys of post childbirth!
I've been using tena pads which have helped with the oops moments
Then on Friday I started having symptoms of cystitis. I have been drinking those awful drinks from the chemist but I think I may have to go to the docs on Monday if no better.

I'm wondering if my urine leaking has contributed to this? It just seems a coincidence...has anyone else experienced this? it's really making me feel awful.
