Well seeing as no one else has commented and im bored, i wouldnt have thought it would be totally related, i had a twinge a few days after the bell's kicked in where i thought i was getting cystitis but i drank lots of fluid and it doesnt seemed to have gone anywhere, personally i think that with bells in certain situations it lessens your want of food or drink so your intake of vitals is less thus possibly causing other infections, important thing is to keep drinking lots regardless.
