Squeezing after urination is not obligatory, and it is prescribed to abandon it if it causes harm. What the jurists mentioned about "natr" (shaking the penis) and squeezing is a means to remove any remaining urine, not an end in itself. Therefore, one should not preoccupy themselves with these means. Rather, one should perform proper ' (ablution after relieving oneself) once the urine flow has stopped. If one wishes to move or bend, they may do so without considering it a necessary rule.
