Why Men Spend More Time in the Toilet?
Why men spend more time in the toilet can be explained by physiological, prostate, and behavioral factors and is generally normal.
Reasons for Spending Longer Time in the Toilet
One of the main reasons men spend more time in the toilet is the structure of the bladder and urethra. Bladder capacity and urine flow rate directly affect the duration of voiding. The prostate gland can exert pressure on the urethra, and the feeling of incomplete emptying often leads men to stay longer in the toilet. Some men also prefer to void slowly and in a controlled manner due to bladder muscle strength. This is considered normal from a health perspective and can often be explained by mild prostate changes or age-related physiological differences. Bladder health and prostate function form the physiological reasons for the duration men spend in the toilet.Psychological Reasons for Spending Longer in the Toilet
Spending a long time in the toilet is not limited to physiology; men's behavioral habits also play an important role.1- Using the toilet as a relaxation space and taking short breaks,
2- Spending time on phone, reading, or other activities,
3- Seeking a quiet environment due to stress and a busy work schedule, contribute to men spending more time in the toilet. In addition, social and psychological factors reinforce this behavior. The time spent in the toilet arises from both meeting physiological needs and the combination of individual relaxation and personal space requirements. /
