Gentlemen… Do You Dribble After You Pee?

If you’re a man in the Hudson Valley and you finish at the urinal, walk away, and then feel unexpected leakage—you’re not alone.

Dribbling after urination, also known as post-void dribbling, is one of the most common urinary complaints to treat at Below The Belt Health, a men’s pelvic floor physical therapy practice serving the Hudson Valley and the surrounding areas.

The good news? This problem is very treatable.

What Is Post-Void Dribbling in Men?

Post-void dribbling refers to urine leakage that occurs after you think you’re finished peeing. Common signs include:

• A few drops after leaving the urinal

• Damp underwear later in the day

• Needing to shake, squeeze, or wait longer

Many men assume this is “just aging,” but in most cases, it’s related to pelvic floor muscle function.

Why Do Men Dribble After Urination?

The most common cause is pelvic floor weakness or poor coordination.

Your pelvic floor muscles help:

• Support the bladder and prostate

• Fully empty urine from the urethra

• Maintain continence after urination

As men age—or after prostate issues, long periods of sitting, high stress, or certain workouts—these muscles can lose strength or timing. When that happens, urine can remain in the urethra and leak out after you walk away.

A Common Sign You May Need Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

If you’re done peeing but it still feels like it’s “raining” afterward, your body is telling you something.

For many men in, post-urination dribbling is the first sign that pelvic floor strengthening and retraining could help.

Pelvic Floor Exercises for Men: Getting Started

Before strengthening, you need to identify the correct muscles.

Imagine you’re giving a urine sample at your doctor’s office and need to stop mid-stream.

👉The muscles you’d use to stop filling the cup are your pelvic floor muscles.

We don’t recommend routinely stopping your urine flow—this is just a cue to help you recognize the muscles.

Beginner Pelvic Floor Exercise Routine

Start conservatively. Pelvic floor muscles respond best to consistent, well-dosed training.

Try this:

• Gently contract the pelvic floor

• Hold for 2–3 seconds

• Fully relax

Complete:

• 10 slow contractions

• 10 quick contractions

• Up to 3 times per day

Avoid clenching your abs or glutes, and keep breathing normally.

Why Seeing a Male Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist Matters

Many men try exercises on their own and either:

• Use the wrong muscles

• Overtrain and increase tension

• Don’t see results and give up

At Below The Belt Health's office in Wappingers Falls, NY, male pelvic floor physical therapy focuses on:

• Strength and relaxation

• Muscle coordination and timing

• Personalized progression based on your symptoms

This is not generic advice—it’s targeted care designed specifically for men.

When to Seek Pelvic Floor PT

You may benefit from professional help if you experience:

• Ongoing dribbling after urination

• Urinary leakage with movement or exercise

• Difficulty fully emptying your bladder

• Prostate-related urinary changes

Pelvic floor physical therapy is private, respectful, and evidence-based.
