Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Men aged 18 to 40 with primary post-micturition dribbling who can perform pelvic floor exercises and attend clinic visits are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients whose dribbling is secondary to BPH, urethral stricture or diverticulum, congenital urethral or penile malformations, neurological disorders, or other major systemic disease are unlikely to benefit from this exercise-based approach.

What this trial studies
Men with primary post-micturition dribbling are randomized to 12 weeks of either targeted pelvic floor muscle training or non-targeted exercises. Baseline and follow-up measures include medical history, physical exam, urine analysis, the Hallym Post-Micturition Dribble Questionnaire (HPMDQ), and a post-void pad test to quantify leakage and residual urine. The study compares changes between groups to see if targeted training reduces symptom frequency, severity, and measured leakage. Interventions are noninvasive, exercise-based, and delivered at a single center.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, targeted pelvic floor training could reduce post-urination leakage and improve daily comfort and confidence for affected men.
How similar studies have gone: Pelvic floor muscle training has shown benefit for some male lower urinary symptoms in small studies, but evidence specifically for primary post-micturition dribbling is limited.
