Can fear make you urinate more?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Fear can even make someone lose bladder control. The details are complex, but in a nutshell the limbic system overrides the prefrontal cortex as part of the fight or flight response. Essentially, the body is devoting itself to confronting the threat (causing the fear) and not to worrying about bladder control.
