Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The continuous dribbling of urine during the period can be due to a fistula. This needs a proper examination by your gynecologist to find out the cause and treatment can be planned based on the diagnosis.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
