Why does this happen? Understand science from doctor
Brain-bladder connection: There is direct contact between our brain and bladder. Dr. Sandeep Bafna, urologist at Apollo Hospital, Chennai, has explained the reason for this on Instagram. Uncontrollable urination or a strong urge to urinate during times of stress is directly related to the brain. Actually, there is a direct connection between your urinary bladder and your brain. When you are under stress, many hormonal changes occur in the brain which greatly increases the sensitivity of the entire body. For this reason, whether the bladder is full or not, it starts shrinking and suddenly there is a strong desire to urinate.
Fight and flight mode: Urologist while talking to Indian Express Dr. Harsh Harinath It is said that when a person is under stress or anxiety, the body releases stress hormones like adrenalin and cortisol. This hormone goes into fight and flight mode. That means the nerves and muscles of the entire body become hyperactive. Due to this, the bladder shrinks extremely and there is a strong urge to urinate.
Shrinkage of bladder: Due to stress, the muscles of the bladder start contracting, due to which it feels full even when it is empty.

what if equal
Dr. Harinath says that if there is a strong urge to urinate frequently, if there is pain and discomfort in the urinary tract even during sleep, then there could be some other reasons for this. In some people, UTI i.e. urinary tract infection i.e. infection in the urinary tract may be responsible for this. At the same time, the bladder of some people becomes hypersensitive. In this the nervous system becomes overactive due to which the urinary bladder shrinks again and again. In some people, anxiety disorder can also be responsible for this. People whose bladder is already sensitive or whose ability to control stress is weak, feel more intense and frequent urge to urinate during emotional stress.
