Where is the bladder located?

From the male's perspective, the bladder is located on the upper part of the penis, which is the pubic hair area. You can press it with your hand. There is a horizontal bone here, which is the pubic bone. Behind the pubic bone is the location of the bladder. Normally, when there is no urine in the bladder, it is level with the pubic bone. If there is a lot of urine, the bladder will be higher than the pubic bone and reach the height below the navel. The main physiological function of the bladder is to store urine and excrete urine.

Physiological functions of the bladder:

1. Urine storage: During the metabolism of body fluids, the water is distributed throughout the body through the functions of the lungs, spleen, and kidneys, playing a role in moistening the body. After being used by the human body, it becomes the "remaining body fluids" and returns to the kidneys. Through the gasification function of the kidney, the clear fluid rises and the turbid fluid descends. The clear fluid returns to the body, and the turbid fluid is transported to the bladder and becomes urine. Therefore, it is said that "the remaining body fluid enters the bladder and becomes urine" and "urine is the remaining water" ("Treatise on the Causes and Symptoms of Various Diseases. Symptoms of Bladder Diseases"), which means that urine is transformed from body fluid. Urine and body fluid often influence each other. If body fluid is lacking, urine will be short; conversely, excessive urination will also lead to loss of body fluid.

2. Excretion of urine: Urine is stored in the bladder. When it reaches a certain capacity, the gasification function of the kidneys will make the bladder open appropriately, and the urine can be discharged from the body through the urinary orifice in time.

What foods are good for your bladder?

1. Eat raw (natural) food: eat most plant roots, fruits, green leaves, beans, seeds, and some fish. Western food is very different with meats, desserts, pies, French fries, cakes, milkshakes, potato chips and dips. It is difficult for housewives to buy raw foods in American supermarkets except for fish and agricultural products, and our cells are in a similar situation! 2. Eat foods of various colors: A diet rich in fruits and vegetables can reduce the incidence of 15 types of cancer, including colorectal cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer and lung cancer. Foods from the cruciferous family, including cabbage, broccoli, cabbage, and kale, are particularly beneficial in preventing breast and prostate cancer. There was a study that mainly involved men from the United States, China, and Japan, which found that men who ate a lot of cruciferous vegetables could indeed reduce their risk of prostate cancer by 39%.
