It's healthier for men to urinate in a different way

For thousands of years, men have been peeing while standing. Some studies have shown that peeing while standing is actually not good for men. It seems that you need a revolution now. It may be better for you to pee in a different way.

The best way 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 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.

It is healthiest to defecate once an hour

There is no set rule for when and how often a person urinates. The usual practice is as follows:

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. Experts from the National Institute of Toxicology in the United States explain that the likelihood 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 attack the muscle fibers of the bladder, destroy its cells, and promote its cancer. Researchers compared urine discharged every hour with urine discharged 2 to 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.

Men should not 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.

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.

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 residual 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.
