Abstract

(Objectives) We investigated the actual status of post micturition dribble (PMD) after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).<br> (Patients and methods) We surveyed 388 patients who underwent TURP to determine whether they experienced urinary incontinence one year after the procedure. If they reported it, its frequency, degree and the type of urinary incontinence (stress urinary incontinence, urge incontinence, PMD) were investigated using a questionnaire.<br> (Results) Of the 270 patients who responded to the questionnaire, 78 (29%) reported urinary incontinence. Although most of them experienced incontinence infrequently (less than once or twice a week) with a mild degree (tiny spot on the underwear), a few reported frequent (every day) or severe (wet pants or need a pad) urinary incontinence. PMD was the most common type of urinary incontinence, and was found in 48 patients (62%).<br> (Conclusion) PMD occurred in half or more of the patients with urinary incontinence after TURP.<br>
