In simple words: This refers to the involuntary dripping of urine after you finish peeing.

Post-void dribbling, also known as after-dribble, is the involuntary leakage of urine immediately after urination. It typically occurs after exiting the toilet, when a small amount of urine remaining in the urethra continues to dribble out.

Example 1: A 65-year-old male presents with complaints of involuntary dribbling of urine after he finishes urinating. This has been ongoing for several months and is impacting his quality of life. After examination and review of medical history, the physician diagnoses him with post-void dribbling (N39.43)., A 40-year-old female patient reports experiencing leakage of urine after using the restroom, specifically after she thinks she is done urinating.She denies any other urinary symptoms.A physical examination and assessment of her medical history leads to a diagnosis of post-void dribbling (N39.43)., A patient who recently underwent prostate surgery is experiencing post-void dribbling. The surgeon documents this condition using the ICD-10-CM code N39.43.

Documentation should include details of the patient's symptoms, including frequency, duration, and amount of leakage, along with any associated symptoms. A physical exam documenting prostate size (in males) or pelvic floor muscle strength (in females) is also important.Additional tests to rule out other conditions may be included.

** Post-void dribbling can occur in both men and women, although it's more common in men, especially after prostate procedures.It’s important to distinguish post-void dribbling from other types of incontinence.Treatment options vary depending on the underlying cause and may include pelvic floor muscle exercises (Kegels), timed voiding, medications, or in some cases, surgery.
