Incomplete emptying can cause light bladder leakage in men!

To achieve more complete bladder emptying, a urinal is out of the question. Sitting on a toilet and encouraging the bladder to empty seems to help.  It also seems that if you go into a cubicle, the relative privacy of the environment can help make the visit complete.

The thing is, men have to be a little patient. Most light leakage occurs when men are in a hurry - and sadly - that seems to be often. Also, many men need to go again within minutes.  The trouble is men rush to the toilet and don't take their time to fully empty the urethra. 

For most men, if they take their time - or more like - if they don't rush their visit to the toilet - they won't suffer from the embarrassment of light bladder leakage.

Urine can simply collect in the widest part of your urethra and is not 'voided' completely. You can help with your hand by using gentle pressure behind your scrotum to force out any remaining urine.

You can also try exercise to strengthen the pelvic muscles. This can be done anywhere as you tense, hold and relax your pelvic muscles. However, this shouldn't be done too often because 'urine retention' is not recommended.

If you are suffering from light bladder leakage you should talk to your GP.  In the meantime, using one of the 'light leakage' shields available here will at least 'catch' the drips for you. Order a 'light' Trial Pack so you can try out a few solutions and decide whichsuits you best.
