| Sumario: | Post-micturition dribble is an embarrassing condition which affects many men of all ages. It can be caused by a weak bulbocavernosus muscle which is unable to empty the bulbar portion of the urethra by reflex action after voiding. Results from this study show that postmicturition dribble is common in men with erectile dysfunction. Previously, bulbar urethra massage has been taught as a self-help technique. This study's findings suggest that pelvic floor muscle exercises which include a 'squeeze out' pelvic floor muscle contraction after voiding urine are significantly effective for men with postmicturition dribble and are superior to bulbar urethral massage. |
