Due to the special physiological structure of men, the urethra is long. After urination, the internal and external sphincter of the urethra will close, making the urethra of the prostate form a closed cavity. If you sit down immediately at this moment, it will increase the pressure in the closed cavity, easily causing residual urine reflux, which provides an opportunity for bacteria in the urethra to trigger prostatitis. So, the correct urination method reduces the risk of prostatitis.
For men, as they age, they become increasingly concerned about prostate problems. Research has shown that proper urination reduces the risk of prostatitis.
1. Men must stand and urinate, which is determined by their physiological structure. The male urethra is an S-shaped shape, and when standing, urine can flow out naturally due to the influence of gravity. When squatting or sitting for urination, the urethra becomes a hooked shape and can be compressed, causing pelvic congestion and difficulty in excreting urine. Over time, inflammation or other health issues may occur in the bladder and urethra.
2. After urination, men should not rush back to their seats, but should stand and move for 3-5 minutes before sitting down. This is because, after the male urinates, the internal and external sphincter of the urethra will close, making the urethra of the prostate form a closed cavity. If you sit down immediately at this time, it will increase abdominal pressure, and the pressure in the closed cavity will also increase. Firstly, it will cause residual urine reflux, which can be exploited by bacteria in the urethra, leading to chronic prostatitis. The second is to exacerbate the existing prostate disease, which can worsen the symptoms of bladder outlet obstruction over time.
3. People should increase the frequency of urination, regardless of whether they feel like urinating or not. The most scientific practice is to urinate once an hour. Research shows that the incidence rate of bladder cancer is proportional to the time of urine retention in the bladder. This is because there is a chemical substance in urine that can cause cancer, which can largely destroy the muscle fibers of the bladder and promote its carcinogenesis.
Expert tip: Men should pay attention to details in their daily lives and try to avoid prostate diseases coming to their doorstep. Avoid drinking too much alcohol, eating less spicy food and fast food, and pay attention to keeping warm in daily life. Do not sit for too long or hold your urine.
