Dribbling after urination, also known as post-micturition dribble (PMD), is more common than many realize and affects both men and women. This video covers everything you need to know about why dribbling happens, its causes, and effective ways to manage and treat it.

You’ll learn the difference between PMD and residual urine, and how weak pelvic floor muscles, prostate issues in men, and childbirth or menopause in women contribute to this condition. Viewers will gain insight into how aging and hormonal changes can impact bladder control and when dribbling might be a sign of a more serious health issue.

We break down practical tips like bladder-emptying techniques (such as double voiding), specific posture improvements, pelvic floor exercises (including Kegels), dietary adjustments, and timed bathroom visits. For women, additional strategies like optimal toilet posture and pelvic muscle strengthening are discussed in detail.

The video also explores treatment options, ranging from behavioral changes and pelvic floor therapy to devices, medications, and surgical interventions like TURP or sling surgery, providing a tailored overview depending on gender-specific causes.

Wondering when it's time to see a doctor? We highlight red flags that could indicate infections, nerve conditions, or more serious urological problems.

TL;DR:

- Dribbling after urination, or post-micturition dribble (PMD), is caused by residual urine in the urethra.
- PMD is normal and common in both men and women; it can be improved and isn't usually harmful.
- In men, weak pelvic floor muscles and prostate issues are common causes; in women, childbirth and menopause can lead to PMD.
- Dribbling can indicate other health problems (like UTIs or nerve issues); if there's pain, blood, or frequent infections, get medical advice.
- Dribbling can be reduced by fully emptying the bladder and strengthening pelvic muscles through methods like Kegel exercises and double voiding.
- Avoiding certain foods and improving posture can also help prevent dribbling.
- If dribbling persists or worsens, consider seeing a doctor. Treatments, depending on the cause, may include surgery or pelvic floor therapy.

Considering weight loss surgery? This video breaks down everything you need to know about the long-term success of bariatric surgery and why it may be the most effective option for sustained weight loss and improved health.

Learn what defines long-term success — including maintaining a 50% reduction in excess weight over 5, 10, or even 15 years post-operation. We examine each surgical option in detail:

- Gastric Bypass: Proven long-term success and excellent for managing type 2 diabetes and acid reflux.
- Sleeve Gastrectomy: Popular with high success and lower surgical risk.
- Adjustable Gastric Band: Less favorable today due to lower success and more complications over time.

Compare surgery to other weight loss methods like restrictive diets, medical programs, and GLP-1 weight loss drugs. Discover how one-time surgery often beats the temporary results of short-term fixes.

Find out about major improvements in:
- Type 2 diabetes reversal
- Sleep apnea relief
- Heart disease prevention
- Cancer risk reduction
- Mental health and energy
- Fertility and safer pregnancies

We also explore what to expect post-surgery—including lifestyle changes, support systems, mental health impacts, and the importance of regular follow-up care to ensure long-term success.

If you’ve struggled with obesity, chronic health conditions, or constant yo-yo dieting, surgery might offer lasting relief. This video will give you the facts to make an informed decision and help you weigh the real-world benefits versus risks.

11/13/2025

TL;DR:

- Long-term success in bariatric surgery is defined as losing and maintaining 50% of excess body weight for an extended period.
- Gastric bypass and sleeve surgery show 65%-70% and 60%-65% success after 5 years respectively; success tends to decrease slightly after 10 and 15 years.
- Adjustable gastric band has lower success rates and is less popular due to more complications.
- Bariatric surgery is more effective in long-term weight loss than diets or weight loss drugs, as it causes the body to feel less hunger.
- Surgery also improves related health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and reduces risks for some cancers.
- Surgical patients frequently maintain more weight loss than with diets or drugs; lifestyle changes and support boost long-term success significantly.
- Bariatric surgery is generally safe but has some short-term and long-term risks like bleeding, infection, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and mental health changes.
- Post-surgery life involves dietary shifts, increased activity, and lifelong vitamin intake. Regular follow-ups are crucial.
- Bariatric surgery is recommended for individuals with a BMI of 40 or higher, or 35 with weight-related health issues; certain health or mental health issues may disqualify someone.
