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,” says Jamin Brahmbhatt, M.D., a urologist and professor at the University of Central Florida College of Medicine. Scientists aren’t exactly sure what causes an enlarged prostate gland, or benign prostate hypertrophy. 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? 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’re probably overdue for an appointment with your urologist. “It should be a reason to talk to your doctor or urologist about medical or surgical options,” Brahmbhatt says. 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’re noticing changes in stream, or blood in your urine, seek immediate medical attention. For younger, healthy men, sitting to pee probably won’t provide any benefit to their prostates one way or another. But it still might be a more hygienic option. Physicists have found that peeing standing up significantly increases the velocity of the stream and potential for backsplash, amounting to less hygienic, more bacteria-filled bathrooms. So if dads aren’t going to pee sitting down for their prostates, they can do it for their partners. It will be good practice for their 50th birthdays. “There are men that have bad aim and can soak the toilet with splatters of urine,” Brahmbhatt says. “Sitting and urinating on the toilet does increase your odds of making sure the urine is actually going down the drain.”

Doctors use the digital rectal exam (DRE) as a relatively simple test to check the prostate. Because the prostate is an internal organ, your doctor cannot look at it directly. But because the prostate lies in front of the rectum, they can feel it by inserting a gloved, lubricated finger into the rectum. It may be performed in the screening of prostate cancer. Who Should Get a Digital Rectal Exam? Not all medical institutions agree on when men should begin screening (routine testing) for prostate cancer or even if a DRE should be part of the screening. To help detect prostate cancer in its early stages, the American Cancer Society recommends that men talk to their doctors about the benefits, risks, and limitations of prostate cancer screening before deciding whether to be tested. For most men at average risk, discussions about screening begin at age 50. However, some doctors recommend that men at higher risk of prostate cancer -- African-American men or men with a family history of prostate cancer -- start screening earlier. What Happens During a Digital Rectal Exam? Your health care provider will insert a gloved finger into the rectum and feel the prostate for hard, lumpy, or abnormal areas. The test takes only a few minutes to complete. You may feel slight, momentary discomfort during the test. The procedure does not cause significant pain or any damage to the prostate.
