Can sitting and urinating damage the male urethra? Counting Two Troubles of Men's Urethra

I have known since childhood that one of the differences between men and women is that men urinate while standing, while women squat. Which man squats down will definitely be laughed at by his friends. When people reach old age or fall ill, these things seem a bit uncontrollable. I heard that Japanese men have a habit of sitting and urinating for nearly 30% of the time. Chinese men will definitely laugh at them when they see it, but is this behavior beneficial to their health? Some people also say that sitting and urinating for the elderly is better for the body, is that really the case?

Sitting and urinating can damage a man's urethra?

Male standing urination is determined by their physiological structure. The male urethra is S-shaped, and when standing, it is affected by gravity, causing urine to naturally flow out.

The differences in physiological structure between men and women determine their behavioral differences in certain things. In terms of urination, sitting for women and standing for men is a widely recognized method among the public. However, recently, news about how men should stand, squat, and urinate has attracted a lot of attention. And in Japan, there are also reports showing that more and more men are sitting and urinating.

As early as 2004, TOTO, History of Japan's time-honored sanitary equipment manufacturer, conducted a survey of 2312 men over 20 years old. It found that 65.4% of men "urinated standing", but 23.7% of them were accustomed to "urinating sitting". In 2001, the company conducted a similar survey among housewives, asking about men's toilet habits at home. After all, one out of every seven adult Japanese men is accustomed to sitting and urinating. When asked why they urinate while sitting, many men answer that cleaning is convenient in order to prevent them from aiming and dirtying the toilet.

Experts say that it's okay for men to urinate once or twice while sitting. Over time, the risk of prostate and urethral diseases will greatly increase.

This is because after hundreds of millions of years of Natural selection, from reptiles to semi upright ape humans to mature humans, human standing is a great gesture, releasing both hands and promoting human progress. In this process, the anatomical structure of males is also given the advantage of standing for urination.

Firstly, convenience. This characteristic is not well spoken. Secondly, it helps to relieve pelvic pressure, as males have unique organs. This is the prostate, which forms the valve of the urethra. It can be said that one man is in charge of the pass. Standing urination can relieve the pelvic congestion pressure caused by sitting for a long time, fully discharge urine, and significantly reduce the risk of Prostatitis and lower urinary congestion. This is also the reason why in medicine, patients with Prostatitis do not advocate sitting for a long time to avoid aggravating pelvic congestion.
