Young men should stand for a while after urinating

　　elderly men You can squat down to urinate

　　According to available data, men who frequently urinate while squatting have a 50% lower risk of developing rectal cancer, bladder cancer, and prostate cancer compared to those who urinate while standing. This is because squatting while urinating triggers a series of muscle movements and related reflexes that help accelerate the elimination of waste from the intestines, reduce the time feces remain in the digestive tract, and decrease the intestine's absorption of carcinogens. Additionally, elderly men who get up at night to urinate should also adopt a squatting position to prevent orthostatic hypotension during urination.

　　Urinate once every hour

　　The incidence of bladder cancer is directly proportional to the length of time urine remains in the bladder. This is because urine contains a chemical substance that can cause cancer; this substance damages the muscle fibers of the bladder, leading to the development of cancer.

　　Whether one feels the need to urinate or not, it is advisable to increase the frequency of urination. The most scientific approach is to urinate once every hour.

　　Exercising pressure on the perineum after urination

　　The urethra in men is longer, which can lead to incomplete emptying of the bladder and subsequently cause urinary tract infections. So, how can we completely eliminate the remaining urine? Yang Yushu introduced two methods: ①After urinating, you can use your fingers to apply some pressure on the perineal area between the scrotum and the anus. This not only helps to empty any remaining urine in the bladder but also contributes to the treatment of chronic conditions Prostatitis There are certain benefits to it. ②Regularly perform Kegel exercises to strengthen the muscles of the perineum and urethra, thereby minimizing the amount of urine remaining in the bladder as much as possible.

　　Don’t sit down immediately after urinating

　　Studies on the male physiological structure have shown that after urination, the internal and external urethral sphincters close, forming a closed cavity in the urethra at the level of the prostate. If you sit down immediately at this point, it will increase the pressure inside this closed cavity, causing residual urine to flow back and triggering prostatitis. Therefore, men should stand for 3 to 5 minutes after urinating before sitting down again.
