Excitement often triggers the "fight-or-flight" response, which can stimulate the need to urinate.
Here's a breakdown of why this happens:
-
Adrenaline Rush: When you experience excitement, your body releases adrenaline. This hormone prepares you for action, and one of its effects is impacting bladder control. The adrenaline rush may make your bladder muscles contract, creating a sudden urge to pee.
-
Tense Muscles: Excitement can cause you to tense your muscles, including those in your pelvic floor, which helps control urination. This tension can put pressure on your bladder. This tense, adrenaline-filled response may stimulate the need to relieve yourself.
-
Fight-or-Flight Response: The fight-or-flight response may also increase the kidneys' production of urine.
In summary, the combination of hormonal changes, muscle tension, and increased kidney activity contributes to the frequent urge to urinate when you are excited.
