Although PMD can affect both men and women it’s more common in men.Īnd, for men, PMD can also be caused by health conditions like an enlarged prostate or bladder/pelvic infections, or behavioral factors such as having a smokers cough or being overweight. Weaker muscles don’t contract as effectively to push the urine along the urethra, and that’s why some gets left behind. It’s commonly caused by weakening of the pelvic floor muscles. PMD dribble after urination occurs because some of the urine gets left behind in a curve of the urethra behind the base of the penis. This type of dribbling is different than dribbles that you can shake out while still at the toilet.Īnd, it’s also different than squirts and dribbles from pressure or stress on the bladder, like when coughing or lifting something heavy. Involuntary dribbling after urination when you think you’re finished is a type of urinary incontinence called Post Micturition Dribble (PMD).
