Causes of Morning Urination
There are several reasons why you might have to pee first thing in the morning. One of the most common is simply that your body has been holding onto urine all night, and it's time to release it. This is especially true if you've been drinking a lot of fluids before bed. Another reason you might have to pee in the morning is because of an overactive bladder. Your bladder is designed to hold urine until you're ready to release it, but if it's too sensitive, it may send signals to your brain that it's time to go even when your bladder isn't full.Solutions for Morning Urination
