I received a private message from a netizen in the background:
I used to hear my girlfriend say that she likes to pee standing up when she takes a bath, is this considered a quirk?
From the perspective of common sense, due to the influence of physiological structure, the posture of men and women is different, men generally pee standing up, women mostly squat or sit to pee, if women pee standing up, it is likely to cause pants to be wet.
However, many netizens have shared their experience of standing up to pee in the shower, let's see what they have to say:
Netizen A: It is very comfortable to rinse your body when you take a bath, and it feels very comfortable to pee standing up after suddenly urinating, and the water will directly wash the urine down.
Netizen B: Standing to pee seems to be more comfortable than squatting, but our girls lack hard conditions, and some urine will flow down the thighs.
So will it affect the health of women standing up to pee in the bath?
1. I want to pee as soon as I take a bath, does urinating while standing affect my health?
After a busy day of work and life, a hot bath before going to bed can relax the body and mind, but many people will have the urge to urinate when taking a bath, why is this?
Zhuo Yangjia, attending physician of the Department of Urology of Guangzhou First People's Hospital, reminded: Most of the reasons why I want to pee as soon as I take a bath are related to the following reasons!
1. Water temperature stimulation
When the bath water is warm, the body will release more adrenaline in response to stress, which will lead to the production of urine; In addition, high water temperatures can cause further contraction and relaxation of the bladder muscles and sphincter muscles in the urethra, which can also lead to a noticeable urge to urinate.
2. The sound of running water
Generally, there will be the sound of water when urinating, and there will also be the sound of water when taking a shower, and I can't help but associate the sound of water with urination, and the conditioned reflex wants to urinate.
3. Mental relaxation
The brain and muscles are in a relaxed state when bathing, and mental relaxation can make a person's ability to control urination poorly.
The urine of ordinary people is clean, and women pee standing up when taking a bath not only feels comfortable, but also saves water.
But some people are worried that women who urinate standing up in the shower will get the smell of urine residue and get gynecological diseases?
Because the distance between the vaginal opening and the urethral opening is very close, it is inevitable that urine will flow to the vaginal opening when urinating, so women will generally wipe it with a tissue after urinating, and the urine is generally sterile and will not infect the vagina.
And when you urinate when you stand up, the front and back walls of the vagina are fitted, and it is more difficult to be polluted by the outside world.
2. Is it normal for a lot of hair to fall out of the private parts when taking a bath?
As a kind of human body hair, private hair will fall out due to metabolism, and generally 10-20 pubic hairs fall off every day.
As we age, the body's sex hormones become less and the hair follicles continue to shrink, resulting in increased pubic hair loss and less pubic hair, which is a normal physiological phenomenon.
However, if you notice a lot of pubic hair falling out while taking a shower, be alert to certain diseases!
1. Hypothyroidism and chronic adrenal insufficiency
Chronic adrenal insufficiency, hypothyroidism and other diseases can affect the secretion of hormones in the body, resulting in pubic hair loss, abnormal skin pigmentation and other diseases.
2. Folliculitis
The private parts themselves are in a humid and stuffy environment all year round, and if you do not pay attention to hygiene, it is easy to cause folliculitis, which will lead to a large loss of pubic hair.
3. Anterior hypopituitarism or pituitary prolactinoma
If a large amount of hair loss from a woman's private parts may also be caused by diseases such as anterior pituitary hypofunction or pituitary prolactinoma, if pubic hair loss is accompanied by nipple discharge, menstrual disorders, headaches, menstrual symptoms and other symptoms, it is important to see a doctor as soon as possible.
In addition, if the private hair turns white at a young age or there is abnormal attachment to the private hair, you should also be vigilant and be careful that it is caused by skin lesions, pubic ringworm, pubic lice, etc.
3. Keep in mind the "two nos" in the bath and wash out the health
Bathing is a manifestation of paying attention to personal hygiene, everyone's bathing habits are different, but you must pay attention to the following points when taking a bath, and better wash out health!
1. The shower should be cleaned frequently
Many people neglect to clean their showers, and long-term unclean showers may increase the accumulation of Legionella bacteria, which can increase the risk of pneumonia. It is recommended to clean the water pipes and showers every 3-6 months.
2. The bathroom is often ventilated
The bathroom itself is humid all year round, which is easy to breed mold and bacteria, and enter the human respiratory tract with the heat, thereby increasing the risk of respiratory infection, so remember to ventilate before and after bathing, especially if you use a gas water heater.
3. Don't rub too hard
Many people like to rub vigorously in the bath, and some like to let the bath master rub it, but rubbing vigorously in the bath may cause the stratum corneum of the skin to be destroyed, and it will also lead to repeated damage to the skin and reduce its self-healing ability.
4. The water temperature should not be too high
If the bath water is too warm, the moisture on the surface of the skin and in the body will be taken away, resulting in itchy and cracked skin, and it will also cause blood vessels to dilate, blood flow faster, and even accidents.
Many women want to pee when taking a bath, which may be caused by mental relaxation, the influence of water flow, etc., and it is okay to pee when standing up occasionally, just rinse it off.
If you want a healthy bath, you should pay attention to the ventilation of the bathroom, clean the shower regularly, avoid rubbing too hard, and avoid the water temperature being too high.
