Old smokers should beware of bladder cancer. Change your urination habits to prevent bladder cancer?

Bladder cancer is a common malignant tumor that occurs on the bladder mucosa. It is relatively common in the urinary system. Among the incidence rates of urogenital tumors in my country, bladder cancer ranks first. In fact, smoking is one of the main causes of bladder cancer. Therefore, in daily life, we must pay more attention to our physical health and start with changing our urination habits, which can also help prevent bladder cancer.

Do not sit down after urinating

The physiological characteristics of men are quite special. The internal and external sphincters of the urethra are usually closed after urination, so that the urethra of the prostate will form a closed cavity. If you sit down immediately at this time, the pressure in the closed cavity will increase, and urine will easily flow back into it. The bacteria in the urethra will then take the opportunity to invade our body, thereby inducing prostatitis in men. After urinating, you can use your fingers to squeeze slightly between the scrotum and the anus, so that all the residual urine in the bladder can be discharged in time, which is actually beneficial for the treatment of chronic prostatitis.

Older men can choose to squat when urinating

If you often squat to urinate, the risk of developing rectal cancer or bladder cancer will be reduced by more than half. This is because squatting to urinate will cause the muscle movement to have a reflex effect, allowing waste in the intestines to be discharged in time, reducing the effect of the intestines absorbing carcinogens.

Regular urination

The pathogenesis of bladder cancer is mainly due to the long-term retention of urine in the bladder. The urine itself contains carcinogenic chemicals, which will cause a certain degree of damage to the muscle fibers in the bladder. Regardless of whether we have the urge to urinate or not, we should increase the frequency of urination, preferably once every hour.

The above are some preventive measures for bladder cancer. I hope that male friends will pay attention to them in their daily lives, so that the chance of cystitis can be reduced and the health of the body can be guaranteed to a certain extent. Pay attention to urination habits in normal times, which can also prevent other male diseases and make our bodies healthier.
