Why men have urinary dribble and what to do about it! | After Dribble

[@greatspirit]

Can we stop and take a moment to give full credit to Dr. Malik who tackles the most awkward and secretive urological issues with such grace, composure and endearing competence?

[@soilmanted]

No. That is what physicians are supposed to do. What we should be doing, and doing more often, is taking a moment to criticize those physicians seem unable or unwilling to tackle urogenital care without awkwardness, or embarrassment. They are out there, and they are a pain in the tuchas.

@@soilmanted Is bedside manner something that can be taught? Or is it innate talent that is just honed?

[@gooddaygene8355]

@@soilmanted Your response ties nicely into my initial question of bedside manner being taught and adopted, or being innate and developed. You were advised to READ "How to Make Friends and Influence People." Was the expectation that you would adopt the entire framework that Carnegie presented ("taught" your "bedside manner?") Or, would you look at the information and adopt it to what you already knew about the subject innately (innate and developed "bedside manner?") Thankfully, you have done the latter. You analyzed the incoming information against what you already knew, or experienced. Some people do not do this, or do it in different ways. Carl Jung mused, "“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” We all see the world through fundamentally different lenses and make different judgements based on what we "see" using differing criteria. For Carnegie, that was his "truth." It made sense to him, his cognition, and how he lived his life. Not to you. Not to others. Take a look into Jungian Analytical Psychology. I would not be surprised that you are an Introverted Thinking (Ti) lead based off of your posting and analysis. It may provide answers for you. Or it may not.

The main cause of post void dribbling is the retention of urine in the urethra. The urethra is a passive tube, it does not have muscles to propel the urine out. It is analogous to a garden hose, you can close the tap (sphincter) but when you pick up the hose the water drips out. It is almost never related to a stricture and any urine in the prostatic urethra would not be cleared by milking of the urethra or Kegel exercises. It is not exclusive to old men, and happens to younger men and even women and children occasionally. And yes I am a urologist.

I have felt that in some cases there is a neurological component. Perhaps the autonomic system can influence the neurology in such a way as to affect voiding. Consider that essential hypertension can be caused by neurologic bias at ganglia proximal to the kidneys. Often times stress hormones exacerbate this condition. Maybe that same autonomic process - related to stress hormones - can effect voiding in the same way?

This is long before troubles with dribbling. Got use to sitting and would always sit at home. The last ten years or more I'vc had the dribbling. Don't have any prostate enlargement. I have tried the massage way to finish the emptying It's difficult however I working on it. I hate this problem and I wear black shorts and underwear when possible to cover up and missed dribble. Anyhow absent any men's dribble issues I prefer to sit when confident the bowl and flow is clean. Sometimes i look at my phone to relax to help voiding. That's my story and i'm sticking to it.

For me I noticed it is heavily tied with stress, particularly relational stress. When I am stressed out i notice that my pelvic floor muscles tend to be stiff and dont respond well to stimulations from my brain to release urine. However with Yoga and pelvic floor stretching and relaxation, I have noticed a MASSIVE improvement. I used to get to that last little bit of urine in my bladder and i could feel it just not wanting to come out no matter how much i relaxed and some of it would come out when I sat down. Now it feels SOOO NICE for the little bit to come out and feel satisfied my bladder is completely empty. When I do that final little pinch the last little bit squirts out. Interestingly, I never found out about pelvic floor issues being tied to emotional stress until i did my own research. Even my urologist was like I have no idea what could be causing this.

I think there's a connection between all sorts of prostate issues and stress. I read the book Teach Us to Sit Still and it was really eye opening.

[@89tonstar]

From what I understand its actually not a prostate issue until it is a prostate issue. In other words, the muscles down there that aid in urination and ejaculation all become extremely tight or weak and tight. They are directly connected to our diaphragm and the stress on our gut ties into it.

[@mrghost4509]

I have had this issue since I was kid and I'm 52 now. None of the doctors have been able to tell my why this has been going on.

I had the condition in my early 30's. It turned out to be severe candida albicans overgrowth and cleared up with taking powdered nystatin mixed in water 4x daily for a month, in increasing (small doses). Likely caused by long-term use of Tetracycline (antibiotic) to treat acne which was commonly prescribed to teenagers in the mid 60's to mid-70's. It killed off all the good intestinal flora, let candida grow unabated and had to be eradicated in the gut and urinary tract with an antifungal treatment (nystatin). I also took a good course of probiotics. I'm 66 now, and there has been no recurrence.

[@Unlimited0X]

What brand of nystatin and is it safe to consume??

[@edrodriguez4540]

Hey how did you find out if was a severe Candida albicans overgrowth? I had a yeast infection balanitis but it went away but still suffering from this post void. I am in my early 30S as well. Would you be kind enough to share more info about this?

[@ilblues]

@@edrodriguez4540 Please see my reply to UnlimitedOX. The complete workup by Dr. Wright included urine, stool and blood samples where they either found and cultured candida directly or found candida's markers. There may also have been some scrapings of the tongue where candida presents as thrush, or of the sinuses. There was another factor with me, concerning insufficient stomach acid, called hypochlorhydria for which Dr. Wright prescribed HCl with pepsin capsules taken with meals to better pre-digest food in the stomach. People with low HCl have something called intrinsic factor that impairs the ability to metabolize B12. Apparently an acid poor gut contributes to candida overgrowth. In the years since, I have not used Nystatin again. Though I have had candida flareups as often as I take broad spectrum antibiotics for an infection. The moment I've finished the antibiotics, I purchase a good anti-fungal and a probiotic acidophilis to take for a month. Cranberry juice helps too. For an anti-fungal, I've had good success with Enzymedica Candidase. I'm not choosy about the probiotic acidophilis. Presently I'm using one I get from Costco (like Sam's Club) by TruNature and I take one every morning which has virtually eliminated my GERD. God bless!

[@ilblues]

@@Unlimited0X My original reply was removed; I believe I understand why. The Nystatin treatment I was prescribed was probably off book and not safe. Turns out Nystatin comes in a powdered form for external use, and in pill or liquid form for internal use. My memory above is not faulty in the matter; I was instructed to mix nystatin powder in water and drink it 4x daily in increasing dosages for a month. But that was in 1986. Either it was a food grade / oral type of Nystatin I can no longer find, or the doctor had me take an external one internally while supervising me closely. Suffice to say it was not a pleasant experience between the nasty taste and the candida die-off. I looked at the doctor's web site and they no longer list nystatin on their treatment or pharmacy pages. Instead they sell OTC antifungal capsules. There are forms of Nystatin intended for oral/internal use in pill and liquid form. They require a prescription. Reviews say the pills are the nastiest tasting thing on God's earth as the pills are to be held in the mouth as long as it can be tolerated before swallowing. Search for "nystatin oral". I use Enzymedica Candidase for occasional candida flare ups. It seems to work as well as Nystatin did for me. God bless!

Thank you Doctor Malik for covering a subject I never thought I'd never see. In my case, every time I used a urinal, I had the dribble as soon as I put it back in and it relaxed.

No matter how long you try and shake it, it is always being closed off. If I had to pee in a bottle and it was relaxed, I didn't have the dribble after. Thanks again for bringing up the subject.

I think a point that is being missed here in the video is that the urethra is a passive tube similar to a water hose and does not contract like a muscle to expel every drop of urine. If you cut off the source, the bladder or faucet, there is still water or urine in the pipe. In the case of the urethra, it is even worse because when you urinate, there is a natural curve going up the scrotum and down the penis. This is a natural trap for urine to get stuck to work itself out later with movement and especially sitting down in a chair as this presses against the urethra behind the scrotum. Because of this natural curve or trap in the urethra a small drop or two of urine coming out is normal for all ages and can be remedied by pressing the urethra behind your scrotum wirh your hands after urinating. If you have other symptoms on top the dribble or excessive dribble, its best to see a urologist especially if you are a older male. I am not a doctor and had a drop or two of urine come out that i first noticed in my early 20s and this is the information i found with my own research and going to see a urologist in person.

There can be a few reasons for this. But for the average person, once your muscle to your bladder closes, you still have urine in your urethra. In order to get most of this out, you don't just shake. Although you may get most of what is near the distal end of your urethra out, you are still missing what is more proximal. What you can do is give a little pressure upwards under your perineum. This will help move urine that is still stuck close to the bladder muscle further down the urethra. Then you start at the shaft and gentle 'milk' the urine out. Then give it one final shake. Other reasons maybe a very tight sphincter muscle(s) that don't allow the bladder to drain. You may also have an enlarged prostate that sits right under the bladder. As we age, ALL men's prostates enlarge. There are medications you can take to help with this. The most common one used is called 'Flomax.' Also, it is more difficult to empty the bladder after sex. When a male/man gets an erection, it helps prevent semen from entering the bladder. It basically holds the muscle of the bladder shut. Other men may have over active bladders. There are treatments for this with Botox being one of the more common. Using certain medication like narcotics can prevent the muscles from relaxing as well. You should avoid anal sex as it is not natural and you can not only get a severe UTI, STD's, but also cause severe anus and rectal issues. We have seen a lot of people who engage in this behavior in the OR. The rectum is a waste management system. Intended to get rid of waste. I cannot tell you how many tears we have fixed and resections from people sticking things up there that don't belong. In addition, you can cause potential cancer cells that might be in the bladder and/or prostate to spread by putting pressure on it from sticking things in the rectum. You can also damage your sphincter muscles as well.

You may not want to do it in public at the urinal but in a stall it's fine. *After emptying and squeezing out what's there, bend straight over at the waist as if touching your toes and while bent then go to a crouch position for a moment then stand straight back up, re-squeeze the tube from the testes forward and you're done.* Plus the T.P. dab, of course.
