dribbling debate

[inflamed]

I still have this annoying syptom everytime I go to the toilet and am wondering how much of a problem it is?

[scotsman]

Thankfully that's never been an issue for me.

I'm in the sometimes category. Often times if I doze off, but not fully asleep, I have this problem. I also get it almost every time if I rush through urination and don't wait the extra seconds until everything has cleared out.

I think I have dribbled since I was about 20....maybe there is something to it as far as chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome goes....who knows

[Dj Smitty]

sometimes I get this towards the end of peeing. that last 5-10% seems to dribble out or sometimes, I kinda squirt it out in waves. It's almost always worse when my bladder contraction is not strong due to.....well I don't know why sometimes I pee like a race horse and other times like an 80 year old man.....sometimes from one pee to another. I'm pretty sure an alpha blocker would really improve this for you though.....it certainly did for me for about a month. I just couldn't take the side effects.

before SP I used to dribble so bad I was pissing on myself and the floor.

That is no longer a problem

In my case, there was a correlation between pain in the prostate region and dribbling. As that pain faded away, so did the dribbling. It was definitely annoying, but I learned to stay at the toilet for an extra minute or so, to compensate.

I still sometimes have this problem....even when I have a really good and powerful stream, I manage to dribble down my leg or on my pants in the crotch region so it looks as if I pissed myself. I'm used to it, which is why I find sitting down on the toilet much easier. I think a lot of guys pee on themselves though, even those without CPPS/prostatitis. My friend always sits down to pee because he says he's always missing the target.

I probably use more bog roll to wipe the toilet seat than my ass most days went back to urologist who didn't think alpha blockers would help me.

[webslave]

Alpha blockers are a recognised (if not entirely effective) form of treatment for CP/CPPS. See if your GP (family doc) will let you try them).

[kenn101]

Since using Alpha blockers I only have the problem sometimes, usually it only happens when the pain is extreme.

the newer one works really well....Xatral its called. The problem is, for me, I had to stop taking it because it acted as a stimulant and my blood pressure/heart rate went through the roof like I had ingested a gram of cocaine. Obviously not good but it did help me pee normally for a few weeks when I was at my worst.

After 2 years of this illness I still drip sometimes. Sometimes I have split streams. In my first year I took alpha blockers, it ended up hellish as I ended up having urgency but could not pee.

[Dj Smitty]

what exactly causes a split urinary stream? I still get this, even when I have a really forceful pee! It's always present after ejaculation, but sometimes when I haven't done that for awhile, I still miss the target because its split. I don't see how it can happen.....a few days ago, I started peeing with good force behind it, one half went all over the floor to the right and the other half of the stream missed the toilet to the left. It reminded me of that movie with Jim Carey.....Me Myself and Irene.

[robertpagen]

I am curious what used to cause split streams too when I was symptomatic. They were maddening yet comical.
