How does urine flow more in winter?
How many times a day is normal to urinate is difficult to determine because it depends a lot on how much water and other beverages you drink, what beverages you drink, and how much you sweat Is.
Spain-based urologist Dr. Blanca Mudurga said that if you urinate on average six, seven times a day and once at night, consider it normal. Everyone urinates more in winter.
Dr. Blanca Mudurga says that the general reason for this is that "when it's cold, our body shrinks more than in the summer." You can also estimate this from the fact that if you look at your hands and feet in winter, they are slightly swollen, which is due to the high amount of water in your body.
Thus, in winter when our body is more contracted, the ability to store liquid in it decreases and this is the reason why we need more urine in winter. Apart from this, in summer, some liquid also leaves our body in the form of sweat.
In winter, when the outside temperature is low, our blood vessels shrink and our body system tries to prevent blood loss to the central organs of the body, such as the heart and lungs. Thus, the blood near the skin shrinks and goes to the internal parts of the body. This is the reason why we feel cold more on the hands, feet, nose and other external parts of the body
According to Dr. Blanca Madurga, since the total amount of blood in our body remains the same, but when the blood vessels shrink, there is less space for the blood. The result is that the blood pressure or blood pressure in our veins increases.
This is when the process of diuresis begins, i.e. urine rushes up. This is because high blood pressure also increases the pressure inside our kidney cells, which sends a message to the kidneys to remove unnecessary fluid from the body so that the blood pressure returns to normal.
So when the kidneys get the message to get rid of unnecessary fluid, we have to run to the toilet.
Dr. Blanca Mudurga explains that 'if the organ in our body where urine collects, that is, our bladder, is healthy, we do not have to go to the toilet again shortly after urinating, but some people's bladders work more than usual. Do or be more active. These types of people want to go to the toilet every once in a while and are not satisfied.
'This may be due to the automatic contraction of the organs around the bladder because when we drink something or get cold, these organs begin to contract involuntarily.'
Some good habits
Dr. Blanca Mudurga explains that even though we urinate more in winter, it is not necessary to drink more water to eliminate dehydration.
Even in winter, we should drink two to two and a half liters of water a day. Apart from maintaining adequate water content in the body, we should also take care of our bladder.
The main thing in this regard is not to go to the toilet just thinking 'I might have to pee' as this can reduce our bladder's ability to control urine.
So try to go to the toilet only when the bladder is full and you really feel the need, but Dr. Blanca Mudurga explained that 'there is nothing wrong with emptying the bladder before going to bed at night.'
Another suggestion to relieve frequent urination is to not rush to urinate and give the bladder a chance to empty completely, because if you rush, the bladder will not empty completely and Urinary tract infection may also occur.
