Peeing sitting down
This posture when peeing is also bad for your body. Your pelvic floor muscles can only truly relax when you’re seated. This will allow you to fully empty your bladder. This is especially true for women because men’s anatomy allows them to pee more easily when standing. But it’s also recommended for them to pee sitting down. Only when sitting down can be uncomfortable, like after giving birth, is it recommended to pee standing up.
Bladder won’t be completely empty
We mentioned before that you can only truly empty your bladder when sitting down. This is extremely important for lowering your risk of bladder problems. Not doing so can result in a bladder infection because you’re not peeing out all the bacteria. These bacteria can stay behind in your bladder and cause a urinary tract infection.
