We compared standing and sitting urination and added some tips.
How do men usually write?
For Russia, this is not a question. But it turns out that in many other countries, men do not mind sitting down to write. YouGov Global Online Data Research and Analytics Group collected information from 13 countries and provided statistics (we added it to the end of the article).
Most of those who prefer to urinate sitting down live in Germany. At the same time, in German there is a pejorative term Sitzpinkler, which can literally be translated as "one who sits down to urinate." In slang, this is often called effeminate men. This is strange considering how beneficial it is for some to write sitting down.
Is there a difference between sitting and standing while urinating?
Yes, and quite big.
Convenience
It is more convenient to write while sitting, because your hands are free and you can get stuck in the phone. True, there is a risk get stuck in the toilet, which is not very good for the muscles of the pelvis and perineum. When you
sit in the toilet for too long, then unconsciously push. In the future, this can lead to the development of hemorrhoids.Purity
Those who pee while sitting are less likely to stain the floor in the toilet and the toilet bowl. True, some of the urine may end up on the buttocks, but this is not a problem if you shower regularly.
Benefit
Scientists from Holland collected data from 11 studies that found out which method is still preferable.
For healthy young men, it doesn't matter if you write sitting or standing. In both cases, no difference was found in the hydrodynamic properties of the jet. But for men with benign hyperplasia prostate the difference is quite noticeable. In this state, the organ increases in size and obstructs the flow of urine. Changing position has the same effect as taking alpha-blockers. Those who pee sitting down do not have urine left in their bladder, and this is very important for health.
Suspect benign prostatic hyperplasia Canif you want to urinate often, but it is difficult to start, the stream is weak, the flow is intermittent.
What is the danger of incomplete emptying of the bladder
In people with incomplete bladder emptying May be frequent urination or incontinence. And since the remaining urine is a breeding ground for bacteria, it can develop urinary tract infection. In addition, with stagnation of urine, stones in the bladder are more likely to form.
How to write correctly
There are a few things to keep in mind in order to to avoid problems with the urinary tract.
Don't stand it
It is clear that this is not always possible. But if you suffer often, then in the end it can lead to leakage of urine and incontinence.
And in children, it can also provoke recurrent infections, because stagnant urine will be a breeding ground for bacteria.
Empty your bladder completely
This will avoid problems with stagnation. Older men often do not even notice that there is still something left in the bubble. But you need to try to track your feelings.
But don't go to the bathroom too often.
If you force yourself to pee at any barely perceptible urge, then gradually accustom the bladder to small portions of urine - it will develop hyperactivity. This condition will interfere with sleep at night and travel far from home and toilets.
Don't push
Unlike a bowel movement, to urinate, you need to relax your muscles, not tense them. Pushing won't make you pee better, but it will aggravate your hemorrhoids and may cause pelvic sagging.
Drink enough liquid
Many problems with urination, such as education kidney stonesare caused by dehydration. In addition, concentrated urine corrodes the mucosa, and the urinary tract becomes more susceptible to infections.
Watch your feelings, and also pay attention to the color and smell of urine: it should not be dark or very bright, and also smell intense.
