In this episode, the doctors discuss a common yet often embarrassing condition known as post void leakage or post void dribble. This condition occurs when a small amount of urine leaks after you’ve already finished peeing. The episode provides insight into why this happens, particularly why it is more common in men than women.
The discussion touches on how urine can become trapped in the urethra due to factors such as pelvic floor weakness and urethral anatomy. They explain the importance of understanding when post void dribble is normal versus when it might be a reason to consult a healthcare provider.
For those who may be experiencing this issue, the doctors share simple habits and exercises that can help reduce leakage, including techniques such as double voiding and using pressure to encourage the expulsion of any residual urine.
If you find that you’re dribbling after leaving the bathroom, know that you’re not alone, and there are actionable steps you can take to alleviate this issue.
