WhatUrinating while standing or sitting? That is the question. Some people think that sitting on the toilet and urinating is unmanly. However, there are countries where most people with a penis do this. In general, how much youngerthey are more likely to prefer to sit. But which is better for health? This may seem somewhat indifferent to us; but, according to a urologist who spoke on the subject in Telegraph, doing it sitting is much more useful.
Urologist, im. Gerald Collins, made these statements following the publication of a survey by a data analytics company YouGov. It asked men from 13 countries about their preferences when going to the toilet. Of these, the country that favored standing urination was Singaporewith Mexico hot on its heels, while in Germany It was here that there were more men who preferred to do it while sitting.
Interest was from 62% German who urinate while sitting, in front of 20% in Singapore and 21% in Mexico.. Concerning Spainstanding urination is still preferred, and only once 3.4% respondents who always do it while sitting. But, returning to the topic of health, why is it better to sit?
Pissing while standing gets worse the older you are.
As Collins explained, when urinating while standing pelvic muscles tighten. This can make it difficult to empty your bladder. Young people have no particular problems. However, as you get older, the risks may increase, especially in cases prostate enlargement.
This is a gland that is part of the fluid that accompanies semen in semen. It is found around the urethra, through which this substance exits, and also in the urine.
Its increase is very common in the elderly. This is called benign prostatic hyperplasia, it has nothing to do with cancer and does not increase the likelihood of its occurrence. It occurs in about 90% of men over 80 years of age, so it is very common. But what does this have to do with standing or sitting urination?
The bottom line is that people with such an increase experience frequent urge to urinate, but it is more difficult for them to do this. They have problems both starting and finishing, as it is difficult for them empty the bladder. And, of course, we have already seen that when urinating while standing, it is more difficult to empty it, so the difficulty is doubled.
May increase urinary tract infections
Urine infection is much more common in people with a vagina than in people with a penis. This is because your urinary tract is less straight, which makes it easier for bacteria to build up. We can think of it as a completely vertical pipe or a pipe with bends. Dirt from water can accumulate in the corners. In this case, the same thing happens with the microorganisms that cause the infection.
However, even if the ducts are straight, the bladder does not empty when used properly, bacteria are also more likely to accumulate, so there may be more infections.
With all this, this urologist and many other specialized scientists, I recommend sitting down to urinate.. Well, for all this and for hygiene. And this is the one who did not drip a little at random when urinating while standing, he will be the first to throw a stone.
