New Trial Confirms Healthy Men Can Pee Standing or Sitting Without Clinical Difference
A new randomized crossover trial involving 52 healthy men aged 18 to 39 found that urinating while sitting or standing produces no significant difference in maximum urine flow rate or total volume expelled. While standing took slightly longer to reach peak flow, the difference was statistically minor and likely not clinically meaningful. The study suggests that for men without urinary issues, posture choice is a matter of personal preference rather than medical necessity.
