Why do we pee when we are cold?


Question:
I would think that by peeing we loose heat so it seems to pee when we need to keep heat the most. Any ideas?

Answers:
The coldness causes your muscles to contract to generate heat, and you get an urge to pee when your bladder muscles contract. Also, when you're cold, you body wants to use its energy to heat itself, not any urine it may be holding, so it releases any that's there.
Because peeing is cool, get it, haha I'm so funny!
I always put it down to a drop in the barometric pressure. conversely, my body holds fluid when its hot.
i only need to pee when i got to go, not anything to do with the heat or cold
Because when your body is cold, everything contracts or "shrinks" just a little and therefore is squeezes the pee out.
Muscles contract to create heat, including those around your bladder.
It is too keep us warmer I haven't given it any thought but my Dad told me once.
Ha Ha Ha

never thought of that


good one


moose is most logical
i dont pee, when im cold.
I don't notice a difference... when ya gotta go you gotta go is what i say.
Mon ami, sadly I pee now at any time more than when I was a young man. The definition of getting old is you have to pee when you don't want to; and you can't pee when you want .
lol that is a gd 1

Maybe the thought of ice or cold water makes u pee? lol
Body heat is maintained by nervous system..Sweating maintains normal temp. to 98.4 degree F. By peeing no heat loss to body. Heat loss is due to 1. Radiation. 2. conduction. 3.convection. 4.Evaporation.
Maintain body temp. by food & water intake.
It's so true! I pee more when i'm cold.
