Why do anxious feelings create the need to go to toilet frequently?

There were found to be links between anxiety and your digestive bacteria, so it's a normal symptom. It's a reaction from your body, just like when you get scared your heartbeat increases. Anxiety has reactions all throughout your body, including your gut.

Anxious feelings result in frequent toilet visits and bowel problems because nervousness disturbs your metabolism. Stress triggers physiological changes, digestion among them.

No idea lol but I'm pretty sure if you talk to a doctor or a family member they will have the answer .

Frequent urination is a common anxiety symptom. anxiety and nervousness can be interpreted by our body as stress. The stress response secretes stress hormones into the bloodstream where they travel to targeted spots in the body to bring about specific physiological, psychological, and emotional changes that enhance the body’s ability to deal with a threat. One of these changes results in our body's attempt of dispelling all waste product from the body.Its a perfectly normal response to anxiety, and relaxation techniques and avoiding situations that stimulate your anxiety can help prevent this.

The activation of the sympathetic nervous system also commonly reffered to as the flight or fright response results in the physical symptoms we attribute to anxiety. Namely tremors,palpitations,pupil dilatation,dry mouth and frequency of urination.

I find this happens when my body gets overwhelmed with the emotions associated with stress or anxiety. Gastric issues are a very common side affect of these types of situations. The mental tension we feel unfortunately can cause tension in our organs. So when the gastric muscles are tensed, they tend to want to release anything that may be in there. The more you relax and the anxiety goes away, the less frequent these episodes occur. Having over the counter medication on hand is always a good idea if this is one of the main side affects of your anxiety/stress.

There’s a whole lot of science behind that. Basically when we’re anxious, adrenaline is released in the bloodstream, which increases the heart rate. Higher heart rate means blood circulating through the body at a faster pace – going through the kidneys and being filtered at a faster rate. Faster filtration results in an ‘increased need to go to the toilet’. In short: 1. Anxious = adrenaline released (response) 2. Adrenaline in blood = Heartbeat increased (response) 3. Increased heartbeat = blood flows at a faster rate than usual 4. More blood flow = blood passing kidneys faster 5. Faster circulation through kidneys = faster filtration 6. Faster filtration = more pee

The toilet is a place where there is no people around. A small secure place where you are alone and can calm down.

Anxiety causes the body to over work, because the brain is trying to calm its self down, for some the brain makes the body want to urinate, for others it might be something else. It’s usually contractions around the stomach and gut area.

One can feel the need to go to the toilet often when they are feeling anxious because the nervousness can make your stomach turn or hurt, also the fight or flight system is activated, pressure builds up inside of the body which can make stool feel like it needs to come out.
