How to prevent urine from splashing out

Preventing urine splashing can be achieved by adjusting urinating posture, controlling urinating speed, choosing a suitable toilet, etc. It is mainly related to urinating habits and hygienic environment.

1. Adjust posture

When men urinate, they can stay close to the edge of the toilet or squat slightly to reduce the vertical distance between urine and the toilet. Women are advised to lean forward about 15 degrees to allow urine to slide down the inner wall of the toilet. When using a toilet in a public place, toilet paper can be spread on the water surface to cushion the impact.

2. Control flow rate

Avoid sudden forced urination and achieve segmented urination through pelvic floor muscle control. At the beginning of urination, you can pause briefly for 1-2 seconds before continuing, keep a constant speed in the middle, and gently press the perineum to drain out the remaining urine before ending. Patients with prostatic hyperplasia can try the double urination method.

3. Choose a toilet

Domestic toilets can be installed with anti-splash foam or suspended splash pads, whose porous structure can effectively absorb impact. When going out, give priority to deep-trough urinals, whose curved design can guide the flow of urine. It is recommended to choose a portable urinal with a diversion channel on the inner wall.

4. Cleaning and maintenance

Regularly use acidic detergent to remove urine stains in the toilet and keep the surface hydrophilic. Treat ceramic toilets with citric acid once a month to prevent urine stains from forming a hydrophobic film. It is recommended that urinals be equipped with automatic sensor flushing devices to reduce urine retention.

5. Health management

If the urinary stream is bifurcated or ejaculation occurs, diseases such as urethral stricture and prostatitis should be investigated. Diabetic patients may experience abnormal urinary pressure and need to monitor blood sugar. Kegel exercises can be performed daily to enhance urinary sphincter control. Hold each contraction for 3 seconds and repeat 10-15 times.

It is recommended to choose a light-colored toilet to facilitate observation of the cleaning effect, and wipe the surrounding area with disinfectant wipes promptly after urination. People with long-term abnormal urination need to undergo urodynamic examination. People with frequent urination at night can prepare a splash-proof urinal next to the bed. Develop the habit of washing hands after using the toilet and use paper towels when touching public toilet buttons.
