pee shiver

a recent conversation with a friend culminated with me searching and searching for information regarding the normally occuring phenomena of pee shiver,

pee shiver - you know when you are draining off the last bits of your urine, and ur body sort of convulses, like you having a minor split second spasm,

well, there's not much literature on the subject on the net, (possibly due to my limited googling ability,) but anyway,

one Dr R. James Swanson from Old Dominion University attributes it to the "micturition reflex relayed through the autonomic nervous system (ANS)" This means that we shiver (micturition reflex) more when there is a bigger volume (means greater pressure) of urine flowing through our urinary tract since our nerve endings are located there,

huh?

putting it simply, if you're one of those who hold in your urine, you'll probably experience the shivering more often - so you were right dil!  ¶ 10:45 pm
