The way in which a man should urinate has been the subject of debate throughout history. The urinals built into the wall of the bathrooms in public places lead us to think that he is clearly standing. However, a recent study suggests the opposite: the male gender should ‘pee’ sitting down.
It is true that the virile member gives an advantage, which could be described as comfort, when making this need. It is not mandatory to sit down: simply pulling out the penis is enough to discharge the urine that accumulates after the consumption of liquids.
But the study explains that this is not the best option for men. He should, according to experts, do it the same as the woman: sitting. And it is not a matter of gender equality, as has been said in previous investigations.
It’s not a matter of hygiene either. that although it is true that it is cleaner to urinate sitting down, this study carried out by doctors from the Alexandra Hospital in Chesire, in Englandfinds a health reason to recommend that men urinate sitting down.
Lionel Messi urinates sitting down, according to what the same Argentine soccer player declared in a talk. This is not a scientific reason either, but if the ‘ten’ does it, there must be something positive about this method.
Gerald Collins, a urologist at the aforementioned medical center, says that “sitting is probably the most efficient way to urinate, according to a review T13citing Telegraph.
The doctor maintains that doing it this way benefits bladder health. They explain that when a man stands up the muscles of the pelvis and spine remain active and when sitting down they relax. Then, it is much easier and more effective to empty the urine.
