Title: Is it healthier to urinate sitting down?
Post by: philippe Raimbault on 16/03/2009 21:07:53: I have been told, notably mostly by German friends, that it is much healthier to pee in a sitting position for men rather than the usual standing up position.
Even further that this reduces the risk of prostate cancer.
I am very skeptical and think it is feminist propaganda [;)]to have equality everywhere even in the toilets, appart from the fact that I concede that it reduces the risk of spill overs...
Has anyone any hard facts on this ?
