What medical conditions could cause leaking after urination?

Leaking after urination can be caused by urine leaks from the urinary system or by certain medications that affect bladder function.

Explanation

Leaking after urination, also known as post-void dribbling, can happen due to a few reasons. One reason could be urine leaks from the urinary system, which might occur when there is a problem with the way urine is stored or flows through the body. Sometimes, these leaks can form collections called urinomas.

Another cause could be medications. Some drugs can affect how the bladder and urinary system work, leading to problems like leaking urine. This is known as drug-induced urinary incontinence. Medications can change how the bladder muscles work or how the body controls urine flow, leading to leakage.

If someone experiences leaking after urination, it may be helpful for them to talk to a healthcare provider to understand the cause and find the best way to manage it.
