Understanding Post-Void Dribble
- Post-void dribble is the little bit of urine that dribbles out just after peeing.
- It affects a large portion of men, potentially more than 58%, causing significant annoyance.
Prostate Causes Urinary Dribble
- Enlarged prostate can trap urine in the prostate urethra causing dribble once sphincters open.
- Men have two sphincters that can trap urine after peeing, leading to dribble when relaxed.
Muscle Weakness Leads to Dribble
- Muscle weakness or neuromuscular dysfunction may also cause post-void dribble when urine isn't fully propelled out.
- Age or neurological conditions can weaken muscles needed to push urine fully through the urethra.
