Problem #1 – a Male urination problemsrequires that a man have enough length to point his penis into the urinal.  As men age, pubic fat frequently envelops the penis and causes less available length to point into a urinal.

 Problem #2 – he also has to maintain the appropriate angle of the urinal to prevent urine from spilling back onto him. This is very difficult, especially if the man has any sort or restrictive appliance or cast.  Urine will not run up hill and if the appropriate angle is not maintained – there goes the urine all over the man and any surrounding area.

Problem #3 – a moderate amount of dexterity is required and the use of both hands is almost a necessity.  Males who have lost one arm or have had a stroke are especially challenged.  Men with tremors are generally stable with their arm or hand against their body, but as soon as they move their arm away holding the urinal the tremors resume and making it difficult to place the filled urinal onto a surface without spilling it.

These are just 3 of the problems associated with using a male urinal and there are often limited to no solution to the problem.   The answer is in the type of male urinal utilized.  Try a Male Urinary Drainage System as a great alternative.
