WebMD:

A small amount of dribbling after urinating, also known as post-micturition dribble (PMD), is a common phenomenon, especially as men age, and is often considered normal.

Why it happens:

Urethral muscle relaxation: The muscle that controls urine flow in the urethra relaxes after urination, sometimes allowing trapped urine to leak out.

Prostate size: As men age, the prostate gland can enlarge, potentially affecting the urethra and leading to PMD.

Pelvic floor muscles: Strong pelvic floor muscles can sometimes trap urine, leading to dribbling after urination.

When to seek medical advice:

While PMD is often normal, it's important to consult a doctor if the dribbling is excessive, accompanied by other symptoms like pain, burning, or difficulty urinating, or if it significantly impacts daily life.

Harvard Med school:

Many men dribble urine shortly after they have finished using the toilet and the bladder feels empty. Even waiting a moment and shaking the penis before zipping up won't stop it. The medical term for this is post-micturition dribbling. It's common in older men because the muscles surrounding the urethra — the long tube in the penis that allows urine to pass out of the body — don't squeeze as hard as they once did. This leaves a small pool of urine at a dip in the urethra behind the base of the penis. In less than a minute after finishing, this extra urine dribbles out.

Though dribbling after urination is more likely to affect men, women get it, too. A study conducted in 1997 reported that the prevalence of post-void dribbling in women was 30% to 50%. Depending on the age group, the highest prevalence is among women aged 65 to 74.

After 3 consecutive championship titles, the U. S. failed last night to advance to the CONCACAF Nation's League final, igniting criticsm from fans online about whether Poccitino is fit for the job.

Some factors boil down to players from European clubs being jet lagged as well as the schedule change, as the final is usually held during the summer, as well as the US team having too long of a break in between games.

But Poccitino's starting line up, substitutions and strategy is also questionable, especially after he went back on his promise of not starting players who get little to no field time in club matches.

The U. S. had bad luck throughout the last decade with coaching and failing to reach major finals and once even failing to qualify for the World Cup.

And with the Gold Cup coming up this year and the World Cup coming up next year, should the U. S. not take any chances and just replace him now, or should they wait to see how we do in the Gold Cup?

The U. S. has historically had the best results with American coaches
