Why do I have to get up several times at night to pee, after an intense weight lifting workout?

After an intense weight lifting workout at the gym, I have to get up several times at night to pee. Why is that? On days I don't workout, that does not happen at all. Thanks.

1. maybe u hav a disease, u should go c ur doctor....

2. Muscles are probably a little swollen and pressing on the bladder. After a while this will subside. Keep up the work out routine end result is worth it.

3. When you workout you are probably drinking more fluids so your having to pee more often than usual.

4. The intense workout forces toxins out of those muscles and your body is eliminating them. Also, I bet you drink more water or Gatorade or something during the workout. Your body is just getting rid of waste created by that workout.

5. its most likely because when you work out it boosts your metabolism, so your body is burning food and energy faster. when your body metabolizes all that food, the waste has to go somewhere!!! also, when you work out youre probably drinking more fluids than usual to stay hydrated.

6. You should see a doctor. It could be a number of things not related to weightlifting. bladder problems, prostate, kidneys, hernia
