Don't let winter beat you: Why You Might Be Running to the Bathroom More Often in the cold! 🚽
1. **Tense Muscles**
As temperatures drop, our muscles tense up to keep us warm, including those in the pelvic floor. These muscles, situated between your tailbone and p***c bone, can add extra pressure to your bladder, making you feel like you need to go more often.
2. **Less Sweat**
In winter, you sweat less and move less, meaning you’re not losing as much fluid through perspiration. This leads to more fluid staying in your body, requiring more filtration and causing your bladder to fill up faster.
3. **Cold-Induced Diuresis**
Colder temperatures trigger a protective response known as cold-induced diuresis. Blood vessels constrict and blood flow decreases to warm your vital organs, increasing blood pressure and prompting your kidneys to filter more fluid, resulting in a fuller bladder.
4. **Diet Changes**
Winter often brings a more sedentary lifestyle and heavier foods, leading to increased calcium intake. Excess calcium is hard for your kidneys to filter, causing thirst and frequent urination.
5. **UTIs**
Dry winter air can lead to dehydration without you even realising it. Dehydration increases the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs), which can make you feel the urge to p*e more frequently and intensely.
