Customer question:
Why do I have urine leakage even after urinating? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Urine leakage after urination can occur for various reasons:
- Incomplete bladder emptying: If the bladder is not emptied during urination, the remaining urine can cause leakage after you think you are done.
- Weakness of the pelvic floor muscles: if the pelvic floor muscles are weakened, the bladder may not be able to be adequately controlled, and urine may leak even after urination.
- Inflammation of the bladder or urinary tract infection: Inflammation of the bladder or other infections of the urinary tract can cause more frequent and uncontrollable urination and contribute to urine leakage.
- Hormonal changes: in women, hormonal changes such as menopause or pregnancy can affect the tone of the pelvic floor muscles and thereby increase the chance of incontinence.
- Other medical conditions: Certain conditions, such as diabetes, neurological diseases, or spinal cord injuries, can also affect bladder control.
Does leakage of urine after urination indicate incontinence?
Urine leakage after urination is not necessarily a direct indicator of incontinence. Several possible causes of this problem are not necessarily related to incontinence. Possible reasons include incomplete bladder emptying, the presence of a urinary tract infection, inflammation of the bladder, weakened pelvic floor muscles, hormonal changes (especially in women), or other medical conditions such as neurological diseases.
