Hmmm, I've never noticed that I do. Maybe it's something you should check with your doctor about?

here's one research for you: Post-micturition convulsion syndrome, also known as piss shivers or pee shivers, is a phenomenon where one feels a shiver running down the spine following urination. This is a form of myoclonus. It is experienced mostly in males. Although no serious studies have been done in this field, there are a few theories to explain this phenomenon: Sudden loss of temperature and blood pressure Stimulation of nerves in the tip of the pen.is Parasympathetic nervous reflex (a catch-all explanation for such things). greetings. : )
