It is possible for anxiety to cause the urge to urinate. Anxiety activates the body's "fight or flight" response, which can cause physical symptoms such as increased heart rate, sweating, and the urge to urinate.
When you feel anxious, your body releases stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, which can stimulate the bladder and cause you to feel like you need to urinate, even if your bladder is not full. This is because the muscles in your pelvic floor can become tense, which can irritate the bladder and cause the urge to urinate.
If you are experiencing frequent urges to urinate due to anxiety, it is important to speak with a healthcare provider. They can help you determine the underlying cause of your anxiety and recommend appropriate treatments, which may include therapy, medication, or lifestyle changes. In some cases, pelvic floor physical therapy may be helpful in relieving the symptoms of anxiety-related urinary urgency.
