Is it wrong that women are urinating in public?

 

Generally men are urinating in public more than women are doing so. Due to urination urgency most of women have the requirement of public urination. Minority of them are courageous to urinate in public when they are in urgent situations. Others are controlling their bladder and they become uncomfortable. And also female urinary incontinence is a big issue of women.  However, finding a suitable place for women to urinate outdoors is relatively difficult for men to do so. Many women are reluctant to urinate in public because of the hesitation that someone will see it. However, women also sometimes have to urinate in public for health reasons and to avoid discomfort. But in many social environments there is an attitude that it is inappropriate for women to urinate in public. However, it is better to change that attitude when it comes to women's urinary health. Women must encourage themselves to urinate in outdoor to get rid of urinary difficulties. And also it is important that women are practicing to urinate standing up, because urinate standing can be much comfortable when they have to urinate urgently.   

Female urination options.

 Squatting to urinate.

 

Generally vast majority of women are squatting to urinate even outdoor urinating. According to the type of toilet squatting or sitting can be occurred. Either in toilet or in outdoor women have to squat or sit mostly according to the dress they are wearing.

 

Urinate Standing up.

A very small percentage of women are urinate standing on some of occasions. This is happening mostly due to urgent urination. The short urethra of women is the main factor that makes them reluctant to urinate standing up. This is due to the possibility of scattering of urine and wetting of the lower body.

 

Half squatting to urinate.

 

This can be a better option when women have to use unsanitary toilets. However urinate standing is the best option when using dirty toilets to avoid germ infections. Half squatting may be more comfortable on some of occasions. When using toilets women can aim the urine stream at the toilet bowl without getting much close to it, especially when it is dirty.

Urinate standing up is simple for women, but most of them are not courageous.

Women should follow only a few simple steps to urinate standing up. Positioning well, managing cloths as expose the vaginal region, spreading the vaginal lips either sides by fingers, aiming the urine stream to the desired direction and urinating. Some times this may be easier than the normal way of female urination.  Then why most of women do not do like that? The main reason is the lack of courage to do so. Women are discouraged from urinating standing up primarily for cultural reasons. Most of women are thinking that urinate standing in public as a woman is unpleasant, even squatting to urinate the public urination of women is considered as unpleasant and bad in many of cultural environments. But it is not always true.  Whatever the attitude in the society towards female urinate standing, women may have to do it some of occasions due to hygienic reasons and for avoiding the inconvenience.

Why urinary tract infections are more common in women?

Urinary tract infections are caused by germs and affect the urinary system. The most commonly infecting parts of the body are the urethra, urinary tract, and bladder. Urinary tract infections are usually caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract and multiplying in the bladder. Although the body's immune system is active to protect against germs, when the immune system is weakened, germs are more likely to infect the body. Major fact that needs our attention is the spread of germs through the toilets. Especially when women are squatting to urinate, there is a big chance for germs to enter the urinary tract through the urethra. A woman has a shorter urethra than a man, which shortens the distance that germs have to travel to reach the bladder too. So anyone can understand the risk of women getting urinary tract infections. It also shows how women are less likely to become infected when they urinate standing up.
