Health experts are advising against the common practice of urinating in the shower, citing potential health risks. A viral TikTok video with over 1 million views sparked the discussion, with one health care expert cautioning against emptying the bladder while standing, especially for women. The expert explained that this habit could lead to bladder leakage and damage the pelvic floor. Other professionals supported these claims, emphasizing the importance of sitting while urinating for both men and women. Standing while peeing not only poses hygiene concerns but also increases the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia in men. Despite cultural stigmas, experts stress the health benefits of sitting during urination to prevent potential health complications. (Nypost)
