Why do we wee a lot in the cold weather especially at night?
Answers:
Because in the summer, we lose a lot of sweat yes? =] so, this sweat has to be replaced with water from the body, meaning why we drink more in the summer, BUT, in the winter, we hardly sweat, meaning a build up of water, and bingo, out it comes, its all homeostasis, blood and body temperatures =], Basically, the water in our body cant escape through the sweat glands, well, cus its winter, meaning it just builds up and puts everything out of balance. So we pee more. In the summer we dont pee asmuch cus water is lost through sweat.
Its the 'revenge of the bladder' :-) xx
Speak for yourself!
I wish I knew! I live in an unheated apt and spend all my time running to the loo (getting cold), then getting back into bed, warming up and, suprise! I need the loo again!
The older you get the worse it is.kids don't seem to have this problem.
when the weather is cold, you use considerably less fluid cooling the body for temperature regulation, moisture lost through respiration and sweating etc
thus you urinate a lot more
lol think its because you drink more hot drinks to try and keep warm.. cause in the summer you drink more but lose a lot of water through the skin
well i think the reason why we have colder weather at night is because the sun has gone!
I can't say I share you're experience, but perhaps age has something to do with it.....gets weaker as you get older, and I'm just a spring chicken!
hot temperatures mean we need more fluids in our body to compensate for external loss,e.g sweating.in cold weather unnecessary fluids become a liability,the body uses energy to keep them warm for no benefit,so it expels them.more prominent at night when body temp.drops when sleeping so it gets rid of unnecessary fluids.
When you go outdoors into the cold, for example, when leaving the pub at the end of the night, for the long walk home, the sudden change in temperature causing vasconstriction. This is a subconscious tighening of veins to reduce the loss of heat through the skin. A byproduct of this is pressure being put upon the bladder,so we need to wee.
