The healthiest men actually do it once an hour

When it comes to urination, except for infants and young children, no one says they can't do it. However, from the perspective of fitness and disease prevention, how many people dare to say that the method of urination is scientific?

There are some rules for men to urinate: squatting position

For men, if you can change to squatting to urinate like women, you will be less vulnerable to cancer. It turns out that squatting to urinate can cause a series of muscle movements and related reflexes, accelerate the removal of intestinal waste, shorten the residence time of feces in the intestine, reduce the reabsorption of carcinogens such as hydrogen sulfide, indole, and skatin, and thus protect the intestinal mucosa from the toxicity of carcinogens. Relevant survey data show that the cancer rate of men who squat to urinate is 40% lower than that of those who stand to urinate. This is also one of the secrets of the low incidence of intestinal cancer among Indian men who are accustomed to squatting.

Once an hour

There is no fixed rule as to when and how often a person urinates.

The usual practice is:

Go to the toilet when you have a full bladder. However, if you don't want to become a bladder cancer patient, you have to remember the latest advice from medical experts: urinate once an hour, whether you feel like urinating or not. The explanation given by experts from the National Institute of Toxicology in the United States is that the possibility of bladder cancer is proportional to the time the urine stays in the bladder. It turns out that there is a carcinogenic chemical in urine that can damage the muscle fibers of the bladder, destroy its cells, and promote its cancer. Researchers compared urine discharged every hour with urine discharged 2-3 hours apart. The latter contained a lot of carcinogens, so it is recommended to urinate once an hour to effectively reduce the risk of bladder cancer.

How to Excrete Residual Urine

If urine is not completely discharged, it is easy to induce urinary tract infection, which becomes a major source of disease. How can we discharge the remaining urine? Experts introduce a few tips:

After urinating, use your fingers to squeeze the perineum between the scrotum and the anus. This not only helps to discharge residual urine, but is also beneficial for people with prostatitis.

Doing ani-lifting exercises frequently can strengthen the contraction of the perineum muscles and urethra muscles, which can help to expel residual urine as quickly as possible.
