I'm 18. I have uncircumcised penis and everytime after i urinate there is a strong smelly clear liquid oozing out from my penis and absorbed by my boxers. I was having this for almost two years but recently after i ate prescribed Acetazolamide for glaucoma, i noticed the volume of the clear liquid is increasing and it has white granules in it. But there is no pain just some little discomfort after urination about 10 seconds. When i urinate there is no problem and no painful ejaculation either. What should i do? My course for Acetazolamide is ending tomorrow. Help...

It is not unusual for men to leak a bit of urine after they think they have finished urinating.

A survey has shown that 40 percent of all men over 40 have this problem. However it is more unusual in a young man such as yourself.

No one knows why exactly this dripping occurs.

One important thing to note, however, is that a male urethra, which is about 15-20cm long, is not a straight tube.

The urethra is more accurately shaped like an upturned 'S'. If a little urine collects in the upper curve, it might not come out while you are urinating and then drip out afterwards.

If this is the case, try 'milking' the urethra after urination. It's not enough to just shake the penis a little bit.

You have to milk the part of the urethra which is close to the bit of skin right behind the scrotum, as this is where the urine will have collected.

You can feel the urethra yourself in this place as tube-shaped, firm structure. Move your finger forwards from this spot with a firm pressure.

If this doesn't help and you still leak more than a few drops you should consult your doctor.

If you have any other symptoms apart from a few drips you should consult your doctor and have an examination, as it is not normal for young men like yourself to have serious urinary incontinence.

Yours sincerely
