"Question I am an 18-year-old man and every time I go to the toilet, I often leak a bit in my pants even though I think I have finished.  This has been happening for a long time now and it bothers me quite a lot.  I have tried to sit down while urinating, but that doesn&amp;#039;t help at all. In fact it only makes the problem worse because I leak a lot when I stand up.  I hope you can help me. Answer It is not unusual for men to leak a bit of urine after they think they have finished urinating.  A survey has shown that 40 percent of all men over 40 have this problem. However it is more unusual in a young man such as yourself. No one knows why exactly this dripping occurs.  One important thing to note, however, is that a male urethra, which is about 15-20cm long, is not a straight tube.  The urethra is more accurately shaped like an upturned &amp;#039;S&amp;#039;. If a little urine collects in the upper curve, it might not come out while you are urinating and then drip out afterwards.  If this is the case, try &amp;#039;milking&amp;#039; the urethra after urination. It&amp;#039;s not enough to just shake the penis a little bit.  You have to milk the part of the urethra which is close to the bit of skin right behind the scrotum, as this is where the urine will have collected.  You can feel the urethra yourself in this place as tube-shaped, firm structure. Move your finger forwards from this spot with a firm pressure.  If this doesn&amp;#039;t help and you still leak more than a few drops you should consult your doctor. If you have any other symptoms apart from a few drips you should consult your doctor and have an examination, as it is not normal for young men like yourself to have serious urinary incontinence.
