Here’s the breakdown:

✅ For people with a prostate (men):

Research shows that sitting often leads to:

• Better bladder emptying (lower post-void residual volume)

• Stronger, more continuous urine flow

• Less straining

• More relaxed pelvic floor muscles

This is especially true if you have:

• Prostate enlargement (common after age 30–40)

• Pelvic floor tension

• Urinary hesitancy or intermittency

Sitting stabilises the pelvis and promotes relaxation of the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles, making urination smoother.

🧍‍♂️ Standing can be worse if:

• You tense your pelvic floor

• You push/strain

• You have BPH or mild obstruction

• You’re anxious (common with “shy bladder”)

🪑 Why sitting helps the flow

When sitting:

• The pelvic floor is in a more relaxed position

• The bladder neck and urethra align better

• You’re not subconsciously tightening your core or glutes

• Parasympathetic (“rest and void”) activity increases

⚠️ When sitting may not matter:

If you’re young, healthy, and have no urinary symptoms, the difference between standing and sitting is usually small.

✔️ If your goal is best flow + most complete emptying, the evidence points to:

→ Sitting is generally better.
