I seem to have some wierd incontinence problem. After I pee, no matter how much ‘shaking’, ‘TP dabbing’ etc to make sure my bladder is fully empty, when I put my pants on, I seem to get a little bit ‘extra’ that decides to come out after I’ve already zipped up. This creates an incredibly embarassing ‘spot’ which on khakis is extremely noticable (I have to wear khakis for work).
Any idea why this happens? For a while I thought maybe the pressure of my underwear was causing this, but even when I wear boxers or loose fitting underwear it sometimes happens. I can stand there at the toilet for 5 minutes, waiting, thinking I’ve gotten every last drop, but as soon as I pull my pants on and start to leave, suddenly, :eek:
It is a rather embarassing problem and there have been a few times when I had to ‘accidentally’ spill something on my lap so I could explain the spot as some spilled water that way people wouldn’t think I accidentally wet my pants.
Have you tried pressing the area behind your testicles, after you pee? It’s supposed to release any extra drops that are planning to make an appearance later.
That’s an interesting thought, I’ll definitely have to try it and see if that fixes things.
My best guess is that there is urine somewhere past the urethral sphincter which is collecting in some part of the urethra (I’ve heard that a man’s urethra is 9" long)
Or maybe my urethra is shaped like the p-trap (get it? ha ha… ) of a sink
The same thing happens to me. I’m a 37 year old guy and I’ve been dribbling for several years. I asked my PCP about it and he said that it’s common in guys in their 30’s and 40’s. Apparently, it’s just one of those things that has to do with getting older.
And yes, try pressing the area behind the testicles to release any extra droplets.
If that doesn’t work, it could be a constriction of some kind. Unless I remember incorrectly, you are a fairly young fella. I was about your age when I had a similar problem (okay, I’m not a guy, but whatever) and had to have it corrected/widened (they knocked me out so I never felt a thing). Once there is enough room for all the fluid to drain out at the same time, there won’t be anything left over for unpleasant surprises later.
I tried the ‘pressing’ thing that was mentioned, and no dribbling, so at first I thought that cured it!
Then I read another reply about sitting when peeing, and I realized that I was sitting when I peed the time I did the ‘pressing’ trick, so I’m thinking maybe if I sit that might help it.
This is something that has effected me and, from what I hear, the great majority of men as they pass through 30s 40s 50s. FWIW I don’t remember hearing about anything terrible this can be an indicator for, unless you count aging.
But you might look into prostate troubles to see if it’s a sign of that, especially in younger men. You can definitely get reamed if need be.
Ah, sitting, yes. My dad (in his late 70s) was told by his urologist to sit because of all the trouble he’d had with prostate and kidney stones. Well, mostly the prostate.
With more men sitting and more women learning how to do it standing up, there could be a massive urination shift in society…
Try cutting back on your caffiene. I had a similar problem and I noticed that when I cut back from two pots of coffee to one pot the problem cleared up. (Yes, I do mean pots.)
How much you drink and what you drink will affect it.
Though sometimes I psych myself out I get so worried about if I will dribble. Sometimes I go to the toilet instead of the urinal just so that afterward I can put a wad of tp around the end of unco-operative member so that after I put him away he just gets the tp wet. Then I can pull that out and toss it in the toilett.
If you are really desperate, try this tip I heard from someone who is not that credible but the tip sounds like it should work. :dubious:
Anyway, once you sit down on the toilet to pee, bend down so your forearms touch the bathroom floor (or come close to it.) That should get all the urine out
Something I realized is that yes, I do consume quite a lot of caffeine. I wouldn’t be surprised if that is a big factor. I will also experiment with the ‘bending’ trick mentioned (in my own bathroom). From what it seems it sounds like the idea is to get the urethra as straight as possible, pointing ‘down’ so the urine doesn’t have anywhere to collect. Sounds good.
