Read More »Peeing standing up is the go-to for most men, but one expert has warned it might be better for you to take a seat. If you usually urinate in a vertical position, you’ll know it has its benefits. This includes not having to sit on a questionable public toilet seat and generally being able to pee wherever. Doctors in the Netherlands however found that sitting down could be beneficial, especially for men who suffer with prostate issues. This is because it allows them to pee with greater force than they would be able to if they were stood up. If you stand up, they said, your muscles are stimulated in your pelvis and spine. Writing in the 2014 study, the experts said people have been sitting and squatting to urinate for many years. Doctors added that when people sit, pelvic and hip muscles are relaxed, making urination easier. Associate Clinical Professor at the UCLA Department of Urology. Dr Jesse N. Mills said that sitting down is also a better option for men who might struggle to stand up for long periods of time. “A lot of guys sit to pee if they can’t fully evacuate their bladder. “When you sit down, you can use your abdominal muscles more, and you get your last few squirts out and feel like you’ve emptied better,” he told Thrillist. However Dr Mills added the research doesn’t mean everyone now needs to take a seat when it’s time to pee. He explained that as long as you feel your bladder has emptied, then you are fine to urinate in either position. If you’re struggling to get that empty feeling then you should seek medical attention. You may not realise that your bladder is failing to empty properly every time you use the toilet. Prof Stergios Stelios Doumouchtsis, a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist previously said this could be down to an underlying cause. “If the bladder is not emptying properly, it may cause stasis of urine [also known as urinary retention] and result in infections or bladder stones. “Because infections can result in sepsis, or kidney infections, if you have symptoms of incomplete bladder emptying, it needs to be checked by a specialist.” Symptoms include a slow stream of urine, straining to urinate, intermittent stream, double or multiple voids in a sequence and taking a while for urination to start.

You may feel slight, momentary discomfort during the test. The procedure does not cause significant pain or any damage to the prostate.
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.

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.
