Urination is a physiological phenomenon in humans, and normal individuals urinate every day, so no one pays attention to the method of urination. However, from the perspective of disease prevention and fitness, if men can master some scientific urination methods, they can reduce the chances of developing various diseases such as bladder cancer, prostate cancer, rectal cancer, and chronic prostatitis. Therefore, men's urination also requires attention. So, what scientific urination methods should male compatriots master?
Men's urination requires attention: Adopt a squatting position
For men, if they can change to a squatting position for urination like women, it will reduce the risk of cancer. Squatting urination can cause a series of muscle movements and related reflexes, accelerate the clearance of fecal waste in the intestines, shorten the retention time of feces in the intestines, reduce the reabsorption of carcinogens such as hydrogen sulfide, indole, and fecal stercobilin, and protect the intestinal mucosa from the toxicity of carcinogens. Relevant survey data show that the incidence of cancer in men who squat for urination is reduced by 40% compared to those who urinate while standing. This is also one of the secrets why Indian men who are accustomed to squatting have a low incidence of colon cancer.
Urinate once every hour
There is no fixed rule for when and how often people urinate.
The usual practice is:
When you feel the urge to urinate (when the bladder is full), go to the toilet. However, there is a new saying now. If you don't want to become a bladder cancer patient, you need to remember the latest advice from medical experts: urinate once every hour, regardless of whether you have the urge to urinate or not. Experts explain that the possibility of bladder cancer is directly proportional to the time urine stays in the bladder. It turns out that there is a carcinogenic chemical substance in urine that can damage the muscle fibers of the bladder, destroy its cells, and promote carcinogenesis. Researchers have compared the urine expelled every hour with the urine expelled every 2-3 hours. The latter contains a considerable amount of carcinogens. Therefore, it is recommended to urinate once every hour to effectively reduce the risk of bladder cancer.
Efficiently eliminate residual urine
If residual urine is not completely expelled, it can easily induce urinary tract infections and become a major cause of illness. How can residual urine be completely expelled? Experts suggest a few techniques:
Regularly do pelvic floor exercises to enhance the contraction of the perineal muscles and urethral muscles, which can promote the quick expulsion of residual urine.
After urination, use your finger to press the perineal area between the scrotum and anus. This can not only expel residual urine but also be beneficial for people with prostatitis.
