A small discharge of urine just after urination, or "dribbling", is a very common occurrence and is not generally termed to be a serious medical affliction. Dribbling is not a condition where an individual is unable to control his or her bladder, a condition medically termed as incontinence and is more of the case of a little extra amount of urine trickling out of after urination has been deliberately stopped. Most cases of the condition will prove to be no more than socially embarrassing at the most, if the leakage is noticed through the trousers. Almost every man will experience the condition during various phases of his life. Due to the structure of the vagina and the number of folds present in the pelvic skin, dribbling is rarely encountered in the female form. In girls, the hymen will present another hurdle that the urine would need to cross before it starts to dribble. Of the many causes that could lead to dribbling, the most common one happens to be aging – factor that cases the weakening of muscles in both men and women. Certain other factors such as menopause or childbirth can also increase the likelihood of a woman losing control over her pelvic muscles. With regards to men though, the prostate gland that circles the urethra grows with age, thereby compensating for any loss of muscular tension in the pelvic area that could possibly lead to leakage.
Some of the symptoms experienced when suffering from dribbling include a sensation that the bladder was never completely emptied, the urge to urinate but only capable of passing smaller quantities of urine at a single time, an increase in the frequency of urination (largely as a result of the incomplete emptying of the bladder in each instance) or even a noticeable reduction in the force with which the urine is expelled from the body.
Most treatment options would incorporate some significant lifestyle changes and are thus normally only undertaken when the condition has a substantial impact on a person’s quality of life. You could try bladder training and try to control and resist the urge to urinate when possible. This helps strengthen the muscles significantly, thereby giving you some more control over when you can urinate. While you should make it a point to drink plenty of water over the course of the day, avoid consuming it in large quantities as this will only serve to increase the pressure applied to your urethra.
