Does anxiety make you urinate a lot?

Anxiety does not directly cause increased urination. However, anxiety can lead to increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system, which can cause various physical symptoms, including increased heart rate, sweating, and dilation of blood vessels. These physical symptoms can sometimes be mistaken for the need to urinate. Additionally, anxiety can lead to increased production of stress hormones, such as cortisol, which can affect fluid balance in the body and potentially contribute to more frequent urination. However, it is important to note that anxiety-induced frequent urination is not a common or typical symptom. If you are experiencing frequent urination and are concerned about it, it is always best to consult a medical professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
