I have had this condition for about 7 years since my mid twenties and sadly the only activity which seems to cause the same pain as the original infection and trigger the beginning of a reinfection (redness and - sorry to be graphic - slight weeping) is cycling!

I work in an office and sit down for much of the day but this does not seem to cause a reoccurance in the short term. I run and go to other exercise classes and these things do not seem to trigger it either.

It has happened every single time I have cycled more than about an hour, and I have tried two different saddles. For this reason I try it every couple of months hoping it will be different but it is always the same. I have not tried a cut out saddle though. Perhaps if she were to try a cut out for a very short ride? If she has a sympathetic doctor they may be able to advise. Obviously a personal decision but I can see she may not want to risk it. Good luck!
