Well don't !
Many of us , especially at a public toilet will hover... and I'm sure that occasionally will do us no harm.. but if you're hovering at home than Stop!
According to medical experts you can be doing serious damage
Making a habit of hovering over the toilet seat can also lead to a prolapse,
This is because hovering will cause a weaker stream of urine, encouraging women to 'bare down or push', which can 'contribute to a prolapse if continued for an extended period of time',
This is because, unlike men, women do not have a prostate, which supports the male bladder when peeing standing up.
'By hovering over the toilet seat, you are not allowing your bladder to fully empty as the position causes your pelvic floor to tense up,' he says. 'This means that not all of the urine may be emptied from your bladder.'
But for men, if they are young and healthy, it doesn't matter if they sit or stand to pee, as it triggers no difference in flow rate or how much the bladder is emptied.
However, men with lower urinary tract symptoms — such as a high temperature, cloudy pee and needing to pee more suddenly — could benefit from sitting to help increase flow and empty the bladder.

Be thankful there's a place to go, and you don't have to pee in the south forty.
