Can girls urinate while standing?
I'm sure there are a few but it's rare. More comfortable and no "accidents" sitting down.
I have seen women in Africa wearing long skirts suddenly stop, stand for a while with their feet about two feet apart and carry on, leaving a puddle behind. No wet spot on the skirt either.
Yep, that's how you can do if you wear a skirt and no underwear. But over here most women do which is why we squat.
How do you urinate without a sound?
If you are male, aim for the inner walls of the urinal or toilet - urinating on the sides will decrease splashing and noise.
If you are female, you might try putting some toilet paper into the water before you sit down, so that you are not urinating directly into the middle of the water.
What is the best prevention against kidney stones?
A simple and most important lifestyle change to prevent stones is to drink more liquids-water is best. If you tend to form stones, you should try to drink enough liquids throughout the day to produce at least 2 quarts of urine in every 24-hour period.
People who form calcium stones used to be told to avoid dairy products and other foods with high calcium content. But recent studies have shown that foods high in calcium, including dairy products, may help prevent calcium stones. Taking calcium in pill form, however, may increase the risk of developing stones.
You may be told to avoid food with added vitamin D and certain types of antacids that have a calcium base. If you have very acidic urine, you may need to eat less meat, fish, and poultry. These foods increase the amount of acid in the urine.
To prevent cystine stones, you should drink enough water each day to dilute the concentration of cystine that escapes into the urine, which may be difficult. More than a gallon of water may be needed every 24 hours, and a third of that must be drunk during the night.
