Why do we feel the urge to pee more in winters? AIIMS-trained urologist answers and warns against a common mistake
Experiencing more frequent bathroom breaks in winter is a normal physiological response known as cold diuresis. Cold temperatures constrict blood vessels, pushing blood inward and tricking kidneys into thinking the body is overhydrated, leading to increased urine production. Urologists warn against reducing water intake, as this can worsen discomfort by concentrating urine.
