Due to the special physiological structure of men, if men sit down immediately after urination, it is likely to increase the risk of prostatitis. Prostatitis is a common disease in men. If it is not promptly prevented or treated as soon as possible, it can worsen what is known as a more serious prostate disease. Therefore, men should pay attention to details in their daily lives and try to avoid prostate disease "coming to their doorstep.".
The physiological structure of men is extraordinary, with a long urethra. After urination, the internal and external sphincters of the urethra close, forming a closed cavity in the urethra of the prostate. If you sit down immediately at this time, it will increase the pressure in this closed cavity, easily causing residual urine reflux, which provides an opportunity for bacteria in the urethra to induce prostatitis.
Proper urination can help reduce the risk of prostatitis
As men age, they become increasingly concerned about prostate problems. Research has shown that proper urination can help reduce 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 naturally due to the influence of gravity. "When squatting or sitting for urination, the urethra can become a barb shape, which can also be oppressed, causing pelvic congestion and making it difficult for urine to pass out of the body. Over time, inflammation or other health problems may occur in the bladder and urethra.".
2. After urinating, men should not rush back to their seats, but should stand and exercise for 3-5 minutes before sitting down. This is because, after male urination, the internal and external sphincters of the urethra will close, forming a closed cavity in the urethra of the prostate. If you sit down immediately at this time, it will increase abdominal pressure, and the pressure in this closed cavity will also increase. First, 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 original prostate disease, which over time worsens the symptoms of bladder outlet obstruction.
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 in urine that can cause cancer, which can largely destroy the muscle fibers of the bladder, causing it to become cancerous.
"Middle-aged men often experience hyperplasia or hypertrophy of the prostate, manifested by increased nocturnal urination, frequent urination, urgency, weak urine flow, and a feeling of endless urination.". To prevent this disease, avoid drinking too much alcohol, eating less spicy food and fast food, and pay attention to keeping warm during normal times. Do not sit too long or hold your urine.
