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

Anxious feelings create the need to go to the toilet. It is very common with a lot of people. When we are nervous or excited we tend to sensations inside our stomach. From where everything usually starts as it is the center of our body. Due to the anxious feelings, we feel pressurized which creates pressure in our stomach too due to excess stress or excitement which we take out by going to the washroom which is completely normal for a human body to do. So there is nothing to worry about if you are under stress or feeling anxious and you need to go to the toilet

That's something that not everybody experiences, but some people do. It's an instinctive reaction of your body. When you're anxious it's because you feel there's a threat, something that put you in danger, so your body, as a reaction to the danger, gets ready to flee or fight. In this "preparation" it does everything it can do focus your energy o your muscles, and also make you lighter, so that's why you feel the need to go to the toilet. It's also the reason people sometimes throw up when they're nervous. Digestion takes a lot of energy, so to be ready to face the danger. Nowadays, in most cases, this reaction does not make sense, but just imagine you were fighting a bear and then you get why we developed this. Hope I was helpful.

That could be a stress reaction on the body and particularly for the blader, soon we use the toilet the stress or anxious feeling is disappeared. That is a reaction when a body tries to protect themself fro damage other cells or organs. Similar situations are when body is sick or has the fever over the normal point, in that place the organism tries to cooling down or start sweat to back for safe zone. This process in the body is normal but alarmed us that is something wrong with the organism by signalizing with a particular behaviour. I hope that is helpful.

Anxiety places stress on your body, this includes your digestive system, your brain, your bladder, etc. So when you are feeling worried you you might feel the need to go more often then normally and this is completely normal! If anything you can always check in with your doctor to make sure everything is in check. Remember everything is connected so feeling uneasy in the stomach can also result from being anxious but it's not need to worry over, it's as ai said completely normal to feel like this! Taking some time out and addressing what's causing the anxiety might help stop this or control this!

When we feel anxious we have the urge to use the restroom so much as a body to cope with the emotion that we are feeling. This allows us to remove ourselves from the place that we got a response from and take a step back. It's a fight or flight mode that we have as people that we do. It's not the most helpful thing but if you can get your mind off of what is making you anxious to can be helfpul as well. For example when I was feeling this way I would listen to music to help with how I was feeling.

Anxiety is an evolutionary response to dangerous situations. Way back when, when humans were living in the wild, things were a lot more dangerous! One way our body worked to keep us safe if, say, a dangerous animal was near, was to activate a fight-or-flight response in our brain and body to get us ready to face danger. Our hearts beat faster, our eyes take in more light, our bodies fill with adrenaline, and our excretory systems can be stimulated by hormones...leading to us having to pee or poop. Of course, we're likely not facing lions or tigers or bears much these days, but our body still responds to anxiety with the same full-body reaction. Uncomfortable, definitely, but perfectly normal!

Hello;) To answer your question scientifically, anxious feelings usually increase heart beat rate and blood pressure. This squeezes out more water from your blood at the kidneys to create more urine. That's why you need to go to the WC more frequently when you are anxious about something. Our body does this because they want to lower the blood pressure to help protect your internal organs and blood vessels. This is quite common and is a perfectly healthy phenomenon so don't worry too much about it. Please consult your doctor if you experience pain or you have other symptoms that cannot explained. I hope this answer helps.

Stress and anxiety closely affect our digestive system and may also lead to gastro-intestinal issues, among other things. Increased levels of stress and anxiety may lead to imbalance of 'good' bacteria and 'bad' bacteria in our intestines, which are essential to break down food during digestion. This can cause issues such as stomach ache, indigestion, constipation, diarrhea or even nausea. It can also lead to increase in stomach acids, causing heart burn and indigestion. Additionally, anxiety also stresses our muscles, mainly those in our gut region, which may exert extra pressure on the bladder and even on the intestines, hence the need to go to the toilet frequently.

I believe that there is a physiological reason behind this. When we are stressed or anxious, there is a very complicated physiological process (that I won't go into because I don't want this to be a massive response), that leads to the adrenal glands releasing cortisol into the bloodstream. The effect of cortisol on the body is the fight or flight response, which is what we feel when we're anxious. During this response, blood flow is redirected towards the muscles and the heart, and away from all "unnecessary organs" (the GI tract especially). This next part is a hypothesis, but when we shut down blood flow to these organs, the smooth muscles will contract less and lead to an easier release of fluids (i.e you need to pee more). Not quite sure if there's an actual verified explanation , but this was just my line of thought!

I can’t say with certainty as I am not a trained/educated professional in any related field, but my guess is that it has to do with it being a natural physiological response. Anxiety is linked to our “Fight or Flight” response, but for the life of me, I can’t imagine the modern day value of releasing urine in the face of danger (building anxiety). Even if imagining a caveman confronted by a saber-toothed cat, not sure the value, unless an empty bladder increases or optimizes one’s ability to get physical, fighting off the threat or evading it. Hope this helps.
