Why Does Cold Weather Makes Me Have to Urinate?

141 views

Tonight as I was walking from my car into the supermarket, I suddenly felt like I desperately had to urinate, and rushed into the supermarket to find the restroom.

This is far from the first time being out in the cold had brought about a desperate urge to urinate, and I thought maybe I should ask this group why that is, and if it’s normal for adults, adult men, older men, or if it’s just me somehow….

When it’s cold outside, your body tries to keep warm by making your blood vessels get smaller. This makes your kidneys work extra hard, and they make more pee. The cold weather can also make your bladder feel full faster, so you might feel like you have to go to the bathroom more often. It’s all perfectly normal, so don’t worry!
