Please let me know if there is a medical condition where men have to urinate sitting down?

Here are...: Being born as pointers, some men have to adopt becoming squatters so to cope with inconvenience and embarrassment from undesirable annoying urine flow direction caused by hypospadias, acquired perineal urethrotomy, or splaying slow urine flow (commonly in the elderlies), etc.; thereby, they will not mess and wet the pants and annoy the person living with, usually a lady. So, they sit down to pee.
