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

Anxiety puts a stress on our bodies. Sometimes this can make muscles scrunch up, thus squeezing whatever is inside us out.

Have you ever seen a dog, especially an indoor dog get anxious when someone comes to their house and they pee right on the carpet even though they're potty trained? Its kind of like that. Your nervous system is linked to all parts of your body even the bladder. When my parents separated, I didn't know I was having a rough time with it until I had to go to the doctor because I thought I was diabetic. I was peeing nearly ever half hour when I went to visit my mother. At home with my father and grandmother I had no problems. I linked it to soley when I went to my mother's and I had to go see a counselor. She told me that when you have anxieties and fear it can make a person have to pee a lot and frequently. I had to start doing things to help relieve my anxieties before I was able to get back to a normal urinating schedule over there. It didn't matter for long, my folks got back together and I didn't have that worry. But this is a pesky problem that can also develop in your bowels. If you are having trouble, or are concerned see a therapist or a doctor or talk to someone you trust about it. Even talking can make a person feel better. Don't be shamed over this. Its a normal occurrence.

Because it's your nerves. That your body reaction so mostly likely you'll make a few trips okay????

Yes, our anxiety affects our bodies in many different ways, creating many uncomfortable symptoms such as frequent urinating

Being nervous or anxious can make you need to go to the bathroom frequently because the nervousness can make your stomach turn or hurt. When I get nervous or am excited or scared about being in public places, I tend to have to look for the nearest restroom.

I am not a doctor. But a guess is that anxiousness (stress) have a correlation to increase in stress hormones. They work in way that prepares the body for fight or flight situation. One of the parameters these hormones affects is the increase in waste secretion (the more energy the body uses during stress, the more by-product needed to be removed). Thus the frequent visit to the toilet

Anxiety is related to the Central Nervous System and everyone has different ways of somatization. Vomiting, going to bathroom frequently and other symptoms are common when you are anxious

I get that feeling quite often at work. I feel as though it is in large part because I want to be alone for a minute or two. It also creates a sense of immediate relief. I've never let the fact that I go to the bathroom a little more often then others get to me. It is what it is and if that is how I need to cope, then I will take those couple minutes to myself.

When your brain feels scared, it will try to find a way out of whatever situationit is scared of, and what is the easiest escape? The restroom. Your brain will tell your body it needs to use the toilet, and trick you into thinking you really have to.

Anxiety leads to a constant battle with disturbing thoughts and ideas. To get through the phase, individual indulge in behaviors which aid in controlling those thoughts and ideas. Thus, certain common behaviors are biting nails, fidgeting, going to toilet. It is a way to train the brain to let go the anxious feelings.
