It is best for men to stand for a while after urinating

Correct urination for men can reduce the risk of bladder cancer, prostate cancer, rectal cancer, chronic prostatitis and many other diseases. Older men can squat to urinate. Studies on the physiological structure of men show that after urinating, the internal and external sphincters of the urethra will close, forming a closed cavity in the prostate urethra.

Correct urination for men can reduce the risk of bladder cancer, prostate cancer, rectal cancer, chronic prostatitis and many other diseases.

Elderly men can squat to urinate

Relevant data show that men who often squat to urinate have half the risk of colorectal cancer, bladder cancer and prostate cancer as those who stand to urinate. This is because squatting to urinate can cause a series of muscle movements and related reflexes in the human body, which can accelerate the elimination of intestinal waste, shorten the time that feces stay in the intestines, and reduce the absorption of carcinogens by the intestines. In addition, elderly men should also squat to urinate when they get up at night to urinate in order to avoid urinary syncope.

Urinating once an hour

The incidence of bladder cancer is directly proportional to the time urine remains in the bladder. This is because there is a carcinogenic chemical in urine that damages the muscle fibers of the bladder and promotes cancer.

Regardless of whether you feel the urge to urinate or not, you should increase the frequency of urination. The most scientific approach is to urinate once an hour.

Squeeze the perineum after urinating

Men have a long urethra, which makes it easy for them to have incomplete urination, which can lead to urinary tract infection. So, how can we drain the remaining urine? Yang Yushu introduced two methods: ① After urinating, you can squeeze the perineum between the scrotum and the anus with your fingers. This not only helps to drain the urine remaining in the bladder, but also has certain benefits for the treatment of chronic prostatitis. ② Do more pelvic floor exercises to strengthen the contraction of the perineum muscles and urethra muscles, thereby reducing the urine remaining in the bladder as much as possible.

Don't sit down immediately after urinating

Research on the physiological structure of men shows that after urinating, the internal and external sphincters of the urethra will close, forming a closed cavity in the urethra of the prostate. If you sit down immediately at this time, the pressure in this closed cavity will increase, causing the residual urine to reflux and induce prostatitis. Therefore, men should stand for 3-5 minutes after urinating before sitting down.
