Question Title: dripForum: The Urology Forum
| ||||
to doctor, i have had minor drip(where my penis would continue to release urine even though i was done) problems all my life. however, after i went to army basic training where i consumed a over 2 gallons of water a day, the drip got much worse. i think i "blew out" the muscle that hold urine in my bladder and penis. i sometimes release an ounce of urine within 10 minuntes after i go, which makes for some very embarrassing moments. i went to the army four years ago....i have been deluding myself into thinking that it will "just go away". i have been researching my options lately....i cannot wear some sort of pad in the army..that just wont work.....i am interested in some way of fixing this problem.....i am willing to do whatever is necessary to help myself, but i would rather avoid surgery....please save me from a life of toilet paper wadded up in my underwear so i dont make a mess....
The condition you describe is called post void dribbling. The cause is a small amount of urine that remains in the prostatic or bulbar urethra. These are the parts of the urethra near the junction of the scrotum and the penis. Some men try to shake their penises to get rid of the extra urine. But this is not usually helpful.
