i am so happy i found this, this has been happening to be since i was in elementary school. i always wondered like why do my eyes water when ever i go to urinate. im a pretty private person so i never thought to tell my mother. i noticed one time in middle school i was in the bathroom and a girl came out the stall and her friend was like why are you crying and she said my eyes just water whenever i use the bathroom, i thought it would be creepy to ask her about it so i just shut up. but i knew we couldnt be the only two people in the world who this happened to. im happy i found this. shout out to google haha.

I don'know why today while peeing and tearing, this question comes in my mind that why I am only the one in my family who get tears while peeing whereas I got this since my childhood but never bother since today while watching movie need to go to pee and same thing happen, I wash my hands only got out in rush because i don't want to miss movie. But suddenly my brother ask me "why are you crying, what happen", I said "I am not crying" and think why this happens to me. I searched google but can't find anything else except this forum.

Thanks everyone for telling me that I am not the only one.

I am very thankful if any one can give any reason or tell why this happen.

Why Do I Cry When I Poop?

Dr Oz said that it is actually normal for some people to cry when they poop.  If you look at how your brain makes decisions, going to the bathroom happens naturally.  Your brain sends a message to your colon and says go to the bathroom, but the same parasympathetic system controls your tears, and so the signal can get crossed.  Dr Oz said that this is not rare and some people only figure out that this does not happen to everyone by comparing themselves to what their friends say.  Dr Oz said that some people can sweat or have blood pressure changes when they poop too!

Hmm...so i'm not alone. I'm now 29 yrs old and my eyes water when I pee .... since i remember. I really wondered why this is happening all my life. I kept it secret not to confuse folks around. I really hope this will attract the attention of the "curious specialist" and we'll have the explanation we have all waited so long for.

I have also had this happen to me my whole life.  I thought it happened to everyone until I casually mentioned it to my Dr. when I was a teenager...he thought I was a nut-job and told me I was "really weird" and that he'd never heard of it before...it's pretty obvious that nobody really knows why this happens...but at least we know now that we're not the only ones. :)

I am a 60 year old male and this has been happining to me for the last year or two. I hate this because I sometimes take the newspaper to the bathroom with me and can't read for taking off my glasses and wiping my eyes.

Thank goodness, I am not alone. My eyes tear when I use the restroom (both one and two) and when I have the big "O". I'm glad I can finally tell my husband that I'm not a big weirdo. He'll still think it's weird, but at least I'm not alone.

I'm in my mid 50's and I can't remember a time it hasn't happened when I go to the bathroom, regardless of what I'm doing. The amount of tears varies from eyes slightly watering to tears rolling down my face, preventing me being able to read and messing up my make-up. Like most of you, any doctor I have mentioned this to has looked at me like I said I enjoy sticking pins in my eyes. In other words they look at me like I may have mental health issues.

Well hello all with all that I have read some crazy and some with meanings to help.  I have had this problem since as long as I can remember and now in my 50s it's something that I have had to live with.  Asked different doctors they don't know why, it's like what I read earlier the body senses the need to cry, over active tear ducts.  No depression, no sadness, no hurts, no pee out of your eyes, no burning, just tears people.  Of all of the million upon millions of people in this world there are going to be differences in the body some normal some not.  You have people who can't cry at all.  Honest of all of the things that can go wrong in our body and can do to itself I will take this any day.  No worries it is your natural way of your body.  So from the age of 4 to 54 it has not changes, for me it is just  natural for me to grap tissue to wipe my eyes first than grap more tissue to wipe what I need to next.

I am 43 and have cried when I urinate since I was born. I have had hundreds of blood test and can find nothing there. I don't even realize I am doing it any more. Yes I would like to know why. But at 43 unless you have pain you should be okay.
