I am a 54 year old male. After visiting the toilet, I always seem to dribble for 2-3 minutes or so which leads to my underwear being slightly wet. Is this normal? What can I do about it? Philip

Some men do complain of leaking post urination. It’s usually related to a small amount of urine remaining in the urethra which then dribbles out with activity. I think you will find that if you "milk" the underside of your penis when you finish urinating this will help to ensure that your urethra is empty.
