A urologist shocked the internet when he revealed that most men “pee the wrong way.” According to the statement of Dr. Gerald Collins Daily StarThere is a “correct and useful” way to urinate.
According to information published by a urologist, urinating while sitting is “more hygienic and better for bladder health,” which is contrary to the habit of most men who responded to a medical survey conducted in 13 countries.
doctor. Collins, who works as a specialist urologist at Alexandra Hospital in Cheshire, used data from the YouGov report on male urination to back up his claim and show that, little by little, men are moving “from urinating standing up”.
In all, more than 7,000 men from 13 countries were interviewed, who confirmed that they still chose to urinate standing up.
unexpected data
According to the survey in question, Germany led with about 40% of respondents saying they prefer to urinate while sitting, while in Singapore only 5% of respondents sit down to urinate.
According to the same survey, this choice may be directly related to the “feeling of masculinity” that the act of urinating standing gives men. In addition, the vast majority of respondents who said they “pee standing up only” are older men.
However, according to the urologist, they will only benefit from this practice because sitting ensures greater relaxation of the pelvic muscles and spine, which facilitates movement.
In addition, after reviewing the research results and statements made by Dr. Collins, many women supported the doctor’s statement by saying that the act of “sit-peeing” would help solve a “serious problem with purpose.”
