Is it healthier for men to sit when they pee? Dr. Nicole Fleschman says yes—and explains why this simple shift supports better bladder and pelvic floor function. Standing to urinate is a learned behavior rooted in military hygiene needs from the 1800s, not human physiology. The pelvic floor doesn’t naturally release in a standing posture, which makes emptying the bladder more difficult and creates more strain over time. Sitting allows the pelvic floor to relax, helping the bladder and prostate function with less effort.
