After‐Dribble (A Common Problem For Men)

After-Dribble, also known as Post Micturition Incontinence refers to a state where bladder does not get vacant entirely while you urinate and by contrast, the urine accumulates in the tube leading from bladder. It may occur when a man discharge a small amount of urine post vacating their bladder. It may also occur when the muscles that encompass the urethra do not shrink perfectly and this stops the bladder from utterly vacating.

It is usual in older men because the muscles nearby the urethra, (also known as the lengthy tube in the penis which let on urine to move out of the body) do not compress as hard as they used to happen. This leaves a small provision of urine at a dip in the urethra behind the penis base, and within a minute or after finishing it, this additional urine dribbles out.

However, they may be hesitant to seek medical assistance about this problem but it is to be notice that post micturition dribble affects a large number of men and if this problem perseveres then it should be treated. Following incorporates the symptoms of Post Micturition Incontinence or after-dribble.

• When you have difficulty in starting the urine’s flow.

The most common cause of post-micturition dribble is usually caused by debilitate pelvic floor muscles which encircle the urethra. Listed below are the causes by which pelvic floor muscles may be weakened or debilitate.

1. A delicate bulbourethral muscle in men may cause the inner part of urethra behind the scrotum to sag a little, by which urine will accumulate after urination and as an outcome of muscle's movement, the urine is released.
2. There may be a dearth of support from muscles which belong to urethra.
3. Operation of an enlarged prostate gland may be a cause to weakened pelvic floor muscle.
4. Constant straining to vacant the bowels, mainly when constipation occurs.
5. Incessant cough is also a reason behind it because during cough, the abdominal muscles compress strongly and put pressure on the urinary bladder and pelvic floor muscles. The pelvic floor muscles require compacting with every cough to stop leakage.
6. Obesity is one of the most important causes and may contribute to the pelvic floor muscle becoming impaired.
7. Pelvic floor muscle may be weakened due to neurological loss.
8. Consistent hefty weight lifting may affect the pelvic floor muscles.
