Indications for investigation of post-micturition dribble in young adults

The endoscopic and urodynamic findings in eight male patients in whom post-micturition urinary dribble (PMD) was either the sole or predominant urinary symptom have been reviewed. In three patients whose only symptom was PMD, both endoscopic and videocystometric examinations were normal. In the remaining five patients with additional urinary symptoms, a functional or anatomical abnormality of the lower urinary tract was found in every patient. We conclude that in the assessment of patients with PMD, endoscopic and/or urodynamic investigation is of value only in those patients with multiple urinary symptoms.
