Leaking After Urinating

[Jerry Lee]

There is another thing you can try - I was told this /shown this (on a diagram) by a continence nurse once - so I assume it's geninuine but I can't find a reference anywhere on the net which slightly bothers me now - so "your mileage may vary"!

Basically, as you get older, and especially after some kinds of illness/accident (both apply in my case) you end up with something a bit like a "u-bend" in your uretha (the tube that connects your bladder to the end of your penis. And like a u-bend under a washbasin, it can collect fluid in it when you urinate. The trick therefore is to raise it a little to empty it before you put away! It also helps avoid UTIs. I was told the idea is to press upwards gently behind your scrotum - and then the bit that would otherwise dribble out when you've put away - or worse still sit there and increase infection risk - gets to flow out safely.

Certainly works for me.
