Medical Video: The Secret Reason You Constantly Have to Pee
Do you urinate often but not complete? Panties can get wet because there is still residual urine dripping. Urine is not completely known in the medical world as post-micturition dribble (PMD). Although this condition can also be experienced by women, incomplete urine is indeed more common in men.
You who have this problem might work around this by clogging your underwear or wrapping your penis with tissue. In fact, you should deal directly with the root of the problem. So, please study sundries post-micturition dribble (PMD) below.
Symptoms of urination are not complete
In men who have PMD, you can usually urinate as usual. However, after urinating, urine cannot go out completely. As a result, even though it has been shaken or forced, the urine still drips a little.
Usually there are no other complaints such as pain or pain reported by men with PMD. However, in some cases, men with PMD experience symptoms similar to urinary incontinence and anyang-anyangan.
The cause of urination is not complete
Complete urination or PMD caused by weak muscles in the pelvic area, especially the muscle called bulbocavernosus. This muscle should contract to push urine out of the bladder. The outflow of urine in men is not straight down, but is shaped like the letter S. Therefore, gravity alone is not enough to complete urine. Bulbocavernosus muscle is needed to empty the bladder. If the muscle is weakened, you have difficulty controlling the contraction. As a result, urine can drip because it slowly descends itself without being pushed by the muscles.
According to a number of studies, PMD is often experienced by men over the age of 50. However, anyone can experience PMD regardless of age. There are a number of PMD triggers that you might not realize. Here are some of them.
- Lower urinary tract disorders (LUTS)
- Benign prostate enlargement
- Prostatitis (inflammation and prostate infection)
- Being overweight or lacking in exercise
- Nerve disorders or damage
- Often lifting heavy loads or coughing
How to complete urination
If you experience PMD, try to practice urinating when you are at home. Here is a trick that you can cheat on to finish urinating.
- After urinating, wait a few seconds for the bladder to completely empty.
- Place your index finger, middle finger and ring finger on the left hand behind the scrotum and apply pressure like a light massage.
- With the same finger position, massage slowly towards the tip of the penis under the scrotum.
- If it feels like it's going to come out, you can shake the penis so that the urine comes out faster.
- Repeat this technique twice before leaving the bathroom to make sure you are completely finished.
How do you deal with PMD?
Uncompleted urine can be cured with proper treatment. Check with your doctor to find out and deal with the causes of your PMD. To strengthen the bulbocavernosus muscle, you can do Kegel exercises regularly. You can see the guide to doing Kegel exercises in this link.
If the massage after urinating and Kegel exercises is not very helpful, you can use adult diapers. This method can be tried if PMD already feels very disturbing.
