Do not sit down immediately after urinating to risk prostatitis

　　male Correct urination can reduce the risk of bladder cancer, prostate cancer, rectal cancer, chronic prostatitis etc. disease probability. Elderly men can squat down to urinate. Research on male physiological structure shows that after a male urinates, the internal and external sphincter muscles of the urethra will close, causing the urethra of the prostate to form a closed cavity.

　　Men should not sit down immediately after urinating

　　Research on male physiological structure shows that after a male urinates, the internal and external sphincter muscles of the urethra will close, causing the urethra of the prostate to form a closed cavity. If you sit down immediately at this time, it will increase the pressure in this closed cavity, causing reflux of residual urine and causing prostatitis. Therefore, men should stand for 3-5 minutes after urinating and then sit down again.

　　Squeeze your perineum after urinating

　　Men have longer urethras, which can lead to urinary tract infections. So, how can we eliminate the remaining urine? Yang Yushu introduced two methods: ① After urinating, you can use your fingers to squeeze the perineum between the scrotum and anus. Doing so can not only discharge the remaining urine in the bladder, but also has certain benefits in the treatment of chronic prostatitis. ②Do more levator ani exercises to enhance the contraction of the perineal muscles and urethral muscles, thereby minimizing the residual urine in the bladder.

　　Elderly men can squat down to urinate

　　Relevant data show that men who often urinate in a squatting position are half as likely to develop rectal cancer, bladder cancer and prostate cancer than those who urinate while standing. This is because squatting to urinate can cause the human body to undergo a series of muscle movements and related reflexes, which can accelerate the elimination of intestinal waste, shorten the residence time of feces in the intestine, and reduce the absorption of carcinogens by the intestine. In addition, in order to avoid micturition syncope when elderly men get up at night to urinate, they should also urinate in a squatting position.

　　Urinating once an hour

　　The incidence of bladder cancer is directly proportional to the length of time urine remains in the bladder. This is because there is a carcinogenic chemical in the urine that destroys the muscle fibers of the bladder and promotes cancer.
