Urinating by people in different ways. In general, men choose to stand urine while women with urination sit.
For you Eve, urinating sitting will certainly make you much more comfortable. But for you men, choosing to urinate to stand may be easier for you because there is no need to bother.
However, did you know that in eastern countries in the world, urinating for men is also widely chosen? In fact, quite a lot of people say that urinating in this way can make men healthier. Is that true? Here is the answer.
Urination sits cleaner than pee stands
As you know, toilet hygiene is very important for health. Toilets can be a source of disease because there is a place where urine (urine) and feces (feces) are removed, which is the rest of human metabolism.
In 2012, Viggo Hansen, a politician in Sweden proposed a regulation that shocked the world. He said that men should urinate while sitting, instead of standing when in the toilet. According to him, urinating by sitting more hygienic. Because, how to urinate can reduce puddles or splashes on the toilet area.
Various types of viruses and bacteria that cause infectious diseases can indeed be transmitted through human residual fluids, one of which is urine. Therefore, keeping the toilet area clean is very important to prevent disease.
In addition, also in 2012, Stephen Shen, a minister of the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA), encouraged men to urinate by sitting because it would make the environment cleaner.
Urination is good for men with lower urinary tract symptoms
Urination is good for you with symptoms of a lower urinary tract or in English commonly called lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Those of you who have these symptoms will feel a slow flow of urine and frequent urination at night.
This symptom can be caused by several things. First by the swollen prostate gland. Swelling of the prostate gland will block your urine flow.
Second, because the bladder is overactive oroveractive bladder (OAB). An abnormal bladder contracting will cause a sudden urge to urinate. Third is the inability to be able to regulate body fluid balance for the elderly, especially at night. In people aged 65 and above, urinating at least once at night is common.
Other causes are diabetes, urinary tract infections, urinary stones, prostate cancer, urinary cancer, to multiple sclerosis.
Researchers from Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands, have carried out urine related research. This research was conducted by collecting 14 studies related to this matter and succeeded in making conclusions. Urinating sitting can indeed finish urine so there's no more left. In addition, the time needed to drain urine is also reduced even though it is not yet significant. So, patients with LUTS should urinate while sitting.
