Why do we urinate more in winter?
It’s difficult to determine how many times a day it’s normal to urinate because it depends on how much water and other drinks you drink, what drinks you drink, and how much you’re sweating.
“If you urinate an average of six, seven times a day and once a night, consider it normal,” says Dr. Blanca Mudurga, a Spain-based urologist. In the winter, everyone urinates more.
Dr. Blanca Mudurga says that the common reason for this is that “when it’s cold, our body shrinks more than in summer.” You can also infer from this that if you look at your hands and feet in the winter, they swell up a bit, which is due to the high amount of water in your body.
So, when our body contracts more in winter, the ability to accumulate fluid in it decreases and this is why we need more urine in winter. In addition, in the summer, some fluids come out of our bodies in the form of sweat.

In winter, when the outside temperature is low, our blood vessels shrink, and our body system tries to prevent bleeding in the body’s central organs, such as the heart and lungs. In this way, the blood near the skin shrinks and goes to the inner part of the body. This is why we feel colder in the hands, feet, nose, and other external parts of the body.
According to Dr. Blanca Madurga, the total amount of blood in our body remains the same, but when the blood vessels shrink, the blood space is less. As a result, blood pressure or blood pressure increases in our veins.
This is when the process of diuresis begins, that is, the urine rises quickly. This is because high blood pressure increases the pressure inside our kidney cells, which sends a message to the kidneys so that unnecessary fluid is released from the body so that blood pressure returns to normal.
So when the kidneys get the message of getting rid of unnecessary fluids, you have to run to the toilet.
Dr. Blanca Mudurga explains that ‘if the organ in our body that collects urine, that is, our bladder is healthy, we don’t have to go back to the toilet immediately after urinating, but some people’s bladder works more than usual.’ Do it or be more active. Such people want to go to the toilet every time 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 a cold, these organs start to contract involuntarily. ‘
Some good habits:
Dr. Blanca Mudurga explains that although we urinate more in winter, there is no need to drink more water to eliminate dehydration.
Drink two to two and a half liters of water a day even in winter. In addition to maintaining an adequate amount of water in the body, we should take care of our bladder.
The main thing, in this case, is not to go to the toilet thinking ‘I may have to urinate’ as it can reduce the ability of our bladder 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 explains that ‘there is nothing wrong with an empty bladder before going to bed at night.’ ‘
Another piece of advice to relieve frequent urination is not to rush to urinate and give the bladder a chance to empty completely, because if you hurry, the bladder will not be completely empty and there may also be a urinary tract infection.
