The bladder has the ability to store enough urine so that we can carry out our daily activities without too many interruptions, including the entire night. Numerous experts, among which the Mayo Clinic stands out, indicate that to evacuate the bladder in the best way it is essential to be in a position that allows Relax the body and muscles of the pelvic floor.
With such a premise, the dichotomy of whether men must urinate standing, as they have always done (by practicality and also for a cultural issue) or it is better to feel to empty the bladder. In addition to numerous scientific studies that support a position in front of another, the Jorge Ángel Nurse and Disseminator He has published in his Instagram profile a fun video in which he gives us the answer.
Why does the media nurse recommend urinating sitting?

As Jorge Ángel explains, “it has been shown that when the musculature is relaxed and, therefore, The bladder empties better, leaving less residue Post-mictional “.
When standing up, The muscles surrounding the pelvis and the spine They tense and it is likely that the bladder does not empty at all, bacteria accumulate and increase the possibilities of an infection.
But, in addition, the expert advises people with prostate problems to do so in this way, in addition to recommending it in general to be more hygienic“Because there are people who look like a sprinkler when going to the bathroom,” he adds.
Scientific research endorses smelling
