It has become a habit for generations, if men urinate in a standing position. It is also supported by means of removing hanging urinals, such as those in malls or offices in general. But, is there a danger of standing urine positions for men?
Danger of urinary position standing for men with lower urinary tract disorders
Researchers at the Urology Department at Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands, collected and analyzed 11 studies that compared the effects of urinary position while sitting or squatting with standing urinary position. There are three things that are compared, first is the rate of urine flow, the time needed to urinate, and finally is the amount of urine left in the bladder.
The result, for healthy men, did not reveal any striking difference or danger between standing urine and squatting urine. However, there is an analysis report that states that men with LUTS (lower urinary tract symptoms) or symptoms of lower urinary tract disorders, it will be more able to empty the bladder, increase the speed of urine, and reduce the time needed to urinate if he urinates while squatting compared with standing urine.
What are the symptoms of a lower urinary tract disorder in men?
The following are some of the symptoms that occur if you experience a lower urinary tract disorder:
- Pain or pain when urinating
- Feeling like always urinating and can't be held back
- Discomfort and pain in the lower abdomen
- The urine color is cloudy, sometimes even urine mixed with blood
- The body feels tired, unpleasant, and painful
- Feeling that urine is not completely out after passing urine
Urinating in a squat position makes the pelvic and hip muscles more relaxed
When a person with a urinary tract disorder urinates while standing, his body tries hard to maintain bone bbackward erect. This position will activate many muscles near the hip and pelvis. But, it's different when you urinate while squatting or sitting. The urinary position while squatting can make the stage and hip muscles more relaxed, making the urination process easier.
Then, when urinating while squatting, this position is the same as when defecating. Well, your bladder will be depressed and all urine will come out of the body without remaining.
This is also in accordance with the explanation that an increase in intra-abdominal pressure will make an increase in intra vesica pressure (bladder) which makes the flow of urine released better.
Do healthy men also need to urinate sitting?
In view of this evidence, the researchers have themlimit so that men with lower urinary tract disorders to urinate in a sitting position. However,Healthy men do not need to stop urinating standing up, because in healthy men there is no difference in the dynamic profile of urine when urinating in a squatting position or urinating in a standing position. So, the choice is to be adjusted according to convenience.
