Why Do We Want To Urinate Then When You're Nervous?
Lindlatecba - You want to keep urinating when you feel nervous? Relax, you are not alone. Many people do feel that sensation. According to a urologist from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), namely Dr. Thomas Chi, the feeling of wanting to pee is a natural thing when you are feeling depressed. In fact, why do many people become beser or back and forth when they are nervous? Consider the following explanation.
Actually, how is the process of urinating?
In certain situations, when you are not feeling excited or anxious, the bladder experiences relaxation so that urine (urine) from the kidneys can flow into the bladder. There is a valve in the bladder that can function to hold urine out of it.
Conversely, when the bladder is fully filled, the bladder sends signals through the nerves to the brain. After that, there will be a response in the form of contraction of the bladder and opening of the valve so that urine can flow out.
Why is it nervous or anxious to make someone want to pee continuously?
There have been several studies conducted to find out the cause of why we want to continue urinating when nervous or anxious. Here are some of the body mechanisms that occur.
When it appears nervous or anxious, the body goes into the fight-or-flight phase, aka fight or escape from threats. To do one of these choices as quickly as possible, the body needs a hormone called adrenaline. The presence of a stress hormone in the form of adrenaline will circulate in the bloodstream and be carried to various organs of the body which will cause different body reactions.
One of the affected organs is the kidney. In this phase, the kidneys will increase urine production which eventually causes a feeling of wanting to pee continuously.
In addition, according to Dr. Alan Wein, a urology doctor at the University of Pennsylvania, in a nervous or anxious condition, the central nervous system will become more active and sensitive so that the urination reflexes occur faster.
Other body reactions are related to muscles. When you are nervous or anxious, muscle contractions occur, one of them is the bladder muscle. Bladder muscle contraction can trigger the feeling of wanting to urinate.

The feeling of wanting to urinate constantly when you are nervous is certainly very annoying. Now, the desire to continue urinating is one of the stress responses you experience. Therefore, calm yourself to reduce the body's stress response. That way, the desire to urinate will decrease by itself.
