Read More »Busy men might want to consider sitting down when they pee — not because it’s one of the few moments of the day they can rest but because it might be better for them. For older men with prostate problems, in particular, sitting down to urinate could help them empty their bladders more effectively and reduce the risks of cysts and other health complications. “Men may start peeing sitting if their prostates are large and they need to help relax the pelvic muscles in an effort to help push the urine out,” Dr. Jamin Brahmbhatt, a urologist and professor at University of Central Florida College of Medicine, told Fatherly. Scientists are not exactly sure what causes benign prostate hypertrophy, or an enlarged prostate gland, but the likelihood of having one increases with age. Hormones have something to do with it, as men who had their testicles removed at a young age due to cancer do not have these problems, research shows, and when men with enlarged prostates have their testicles removed, their prostates tend to shrink. The good news is that an enlarged prostate is thought to be a natural part of aging and not necessarily a precursor to prostate cancer. The bad news is that all that pressure from the prostate can increase the risk of bladder cysts, infections, and discomfort or difficulty while urinating. But when men with enlarged prostates pee sitting down, studies suggest they’re able to empty their bladders more quickly and effectively, which can reduce some of these problems. Still, once your prostate is so troublesome that you’re sitting down just to pee effectively, you are probably overdue for an appointment with your urologist. “This is more something they become familiar with over time when they start having trouble urinating,” Brahmbhatt says. “It should be a reason to talk to your doctor or urologist about medical or surgical options.” This is especially the case if you’re under the age of 50 — young men shouldn’t be experiencing age-related prostate enlargement or trouble peeing. If you are noticing changes in stream, or blood in your urine, you should seek immediate medical attention.

From now until you snip the cord, a lot may happen that no one will have prepared you for ahead of time. There's no way to anticipate every possible scenario, but you need not be completely in the dark. It's also good to have an idea of ways you can be helpful to the mom-to-be. The thing about men and pregnancy is that there's only so much you can do -- the expectant mother really does all the work. They also get all the attention. We all know they deserves it -- and then some -- but it's a common source of tension for couples during pregnancy, says Leonard Boulanger, a clinical social worker and fatherhood specialist for the Visiting Nurse Association and Hospice of Vermont and New Hampshire. "In the whole process, the father feels that he is being ignored," Boulanger tells WebMD. Getting involved early and "at every level," Boulanger says, not only makes things easier for the mother, but it also keeps you from feeling left out.
