What should men do after urinating?

First of all, men must urinate while standing, which is determined by their physiological structure. The male urethra is S-shaped, and when standing, under the influence of gravity, urine can flow out more naturally.

When you squat or sit to urinate, the urethra will become an inverted hook shape and will be compressed, causing pelvic congestion and making it more difficult for urine to be discharged from the body. Over time, the bladder and urethra may become inflamed or have other health problems.

Secondly, men should not rush back to their seats after urinating, but should stand and move around for 3-5 minutes before sitting down. This is because after urinating, the internal and external sphincters of the urethra will close, forming a closed cavity in the prostate urethra. If you sit down immediately at this time, it will increase abdominal pressure, and the pressure in this closed cavity will also increase. First, it will cause the residual urine to reflux, and bacteria in the urethra will have an opportunity to take advantage, thereby inducing chronic prostatitis. Second, it will aggravate the original prostate symptoms, and over time, it will aggravate the symptoms of bladder outlet obstruction.
