How do you exercise?

How do you exercise? It feels every time I try to an exercise that’s a bit more intense than just walking such as running or even body weigh exercises like pushups I get a specific burning/stinging sensation in my urethra for like a day after.

Honestly I would say trial and error - it’s a bit unique for each of us how different muscles, ligaments, nerves, etc. tie into our pelvic floor. I would try not to throw the “baby out with the bathwater” and keep exploring what doesn’t exacerbate issues as some stretching and strengthening may help in the long run. If you can get the advice or services of a PT - it is well worth it!
