I Am Involuntary Urinating, What Could Be The Problem ?

A lot of times here recently after I use the bathroom... I continue to dribble out and have no idea why... it is starting to cause problems when going in public... also within the past year I have began to wet the bed when consuming alcohol... it never happened before but now happens too frequently... what could be the problem ?

Hi.. It is common to have few drops of urine to dribble after urination. If it is not limited to only few drops other conditions con contribute to the problem.. It could be a due to a prostrate problem or an infection or due to neuromuscular problems or secondary to alcohol consumption.. Add alcohol can cause diuresis that is it increases the amount of urine production and can cause bed wetting.. This can be especially true if the alcohol is consumed late in the night.. Hence I would suggest you to get yourself checked by a specialist to see if any such causes might be present.. Also quiting alcohol may help in improving these symptoms..
