Winter Urination Problems: Frequent urination is a common problem in winter. Most people struggle with this problem and many times consider it a sign of disease. According to health experts, due to cold diuresis and less sweating, one has to urinate a little more often than normal in the cold season. However, if this problem is severe, it can also be a sign of diabetes, urinary infection or bladder problem. In such a condition, one should consult a doctor and get checked.
In winter, excessive urination starts due to many reasons.Frequent urination in winter: During the summer season, people drink a lot of water and also sweat a lot. Because of this people have to urinate less. Talking about winter, in this season the temperature is low and the need to drink water is also less felt. Despite this, many people have to urinate frequently in winter. This problem is so common in cold weather that many people start associating it with diabetes or kidney disease. According to health experts, in most cases this is a natural reaction of the body. If the problem increases, then investigation should be done.
Dr. Amarendra Pathak, Vice Chairman of Urology Department of Sir Gangaram Hospital, New Delhi told AyraNews24x7. It is absolutely true that people urinate more in winter. The biggest reason for this in cold is the process called cold diuresis. In cold weather, the body shrinks the blood vessels to keep itself warm, due to which the blood flow increases towards the internal organs. This increases the pressure on the kidney and it starts expelling extra fluid through urine. Apart from this, there is less sweating in winter, due to which water starts accumulating inside the body. The water that comes out in the form of sweat in summer, comes out in the form of urine in winter. This is the reason why one starts urinating frequently even without drinking much water. Cold air can also make the bladder more active.
Could be a sign of these diseases
According to urologists, people start drinking tea and coffee several times a day to avoid cold. These drinks are diuretic, meaning they produce more urine. Because of this people have to go for urination again and again. However, in some cases, excessive urination can also be a sign of diabetes, urine infection, prostate problem or overactive bladder. If there are problems like burning sensation with frequent urination, pain, change in color of urine, frequent waking up at night or excessive thirst, then it is important to get checked by a doctor. Being careless in this matter can increase the problem.
How can we get rid of this problem?
Doctor Pathak told that the problem of frequent urination in winter can be prevented. For this, drink enough water in cold, but do not drink too much at once. Avoid caffeine and excessive tea and coffee, as these are diuretics. Protect yourself from cold, keep the body warm and avoid sitting in a cold place for a long time. If frequent urination starts affecting your daily routine and sleep, do not take it lightly. The exact cause can be found out by timely doctor’s advice, blood sugar and urine testing. However, in most cases, this winter problem can be easily controlled with a little care and right habits.
