How does stress impact urine flow and frequency?

Stress, whether psychological or from cold exposure, can affect how your bladder works. Chronic Psychological Stress: According to research, long-term stress can lead to problems with peeing, like needing to go more often or having a strong urge to go. This is because stress can change how your bladder muscles and nerves work.

Cold Stress: Being in cold environments can also make you feel like you need to pee more often. This happens because the cold can cause your body to react in a way that affects your bladder.

If you're feeling stressed and notice changes in your bathroom habits, it's a good idea to talk to someone. For mental health support, you can visit 988lifeline.org.
