Brief Answer:
Part of normal mechanism.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX and welcome to HCM.
Well i can understand your concern.
As an Urologist, i must tell you, once you've strained to let urine start flowing out,
suddenly trying to stop it, will eventually cause the stream to stop, but a little will continue as little drops or a dribble. It's quite normal.
In case you're not intending to pass urine, and it starts to dribble, then you need to get an urodynamic evaluation, by an Urologist.
Hope your doubt is cleared. Feel free to contact me anytime.
Wish you well.

Brief Answer:
quite normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again.
Yes. During times of increased stress, frequent urination is quite normal.
You may not empty the bladder fully. But, keep in mind, if you find it recurring regularly, it's best to see your doctor.
In the meantime, start practicing meditation techniques to control anxiety.
Wish you well.
