What It Means When Your Pee Feels Hot – Health Digest
While not cause for concern, one reason your pee may feel particularly hot as it’s expelled from the body is perhaps because you just gave it your all during a workout, which can boost internal body temperature, explains Healthline. One’s internal body temperature may also be higher throughout pregnancy, during which time the body’s metabolism naturally speeds up.
A 2012 study published in the International Journal of Biometeorology found that because urine temperature can provide us with a fairly accurate read on body temperature, urine temperature measurements may be an effective way to gauge heat stroke or hypothermia risk in workers whose jobs involve manual labor in particularly hot or cold environments. Alternatively, if your pee feels excessively hot, it may mean that you have a fever. If you’re unsure how high your body temperature must be to qualify as a fever, we’ve answered that question for you. For adults, if a fever exceeds 103 degrees Fahrenheit, or you have a stubborn fever of at least 101 degrees Fahrenheit that persists for longer than a week or two, be sure to contact your physician.
