Do You Pee in Your Pants After You Pee? There’s a Cure for That

• Have you heard of post-micturition dribble? The term might not be familiar, but the sight of it probably is—a wet spot smack on the front of a man’s pants. It happens when the last few drops of urine leak out after a gent thinks he’s done using the bathroom. It can happen to women, too.

There’s a Cure for That

• How many people have urinary dribble is not exactly clear, but it’s not rare. A Finnish study, for example, asked people about it and found that 6% of adults between the ages of 18 and 79 have it—more men than women. In an American study, 11.8% of men and 8.5% of women between the ages of 30 and 79 said they have it.

WHY WOMEN DRIBBLE AFTER THEY PEE

• Urinary dribble is occasionally found in women who have anatomic abnormalities that prevent complete emptying of the bladder. Abnormalities include.• • A tiny pouch, called a diverticulum, on

the wall of the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body). Urine can become temporarily trapped in this pouch, only to trickle out later. Most women adapt to having a diverticulum and wear a pad to catch moisture. Another option is to have the diverticulum surgically removed.

WHY MEN DRIBBLE

• For men, gravity and muscle weakness are responsible for urinary dribble. The male urethra doesn’t run in a straight downhill line. It has a little dip in the middle of it, creating a pool where urine can collect. Normally, a muscle called the bulbocavernosus that fits around the urethra will automatically squeeze to force the urine out, but this muscle can lose its tone, especially in men older than 50. Instead, movement and gravity will cause the last few drops of urine that pool up in the dip of the urethra to involuntarily spill out of the body at an unpredictable time, leading to those embarrassing wet spots.
