What Can Men Do to Stop Dribbling After Urination?
Men experiencing dribbling after urination may benefit from medications like tadalafil, which can help improve urinary symptoms.
Explanation
Dribbling after urination, or post-micturition dribble, can be bothersome for many men. Some studies suggest that medications like tadalafil, commonly used for erectile dysfunction, might help reduce this issue.
How Tadalafil Helps:
- Tadalafil is noted for improving urinary symptoms in men.
- It may improve the flow rate of urine, which can help with complete bladder emptying.
Studies:
- Research by Yang et al. indicates that tadalafil 5 mg can help reduce post-micturition dribble.
- Roehrborn et al. show that daily use of tadalafil can improve urinary flow, potentially reducing dribble.
If you are experiencing dribbling after urination, discussing these options with a healthcare provider can help determine the best course of action for you.
