Shall I Continue Massaging the Bulbar Section to Avoid Dribbling of Urine?

Answered by Mawlana Ilyas Patel

Question

I learned about bulbar milking from this website and started doing it as I had the dribble problem. At first, I was doing fine but now after doing this large drop comes out, but some still remains in urethra, so I have to squeeze hard to get the last bit of urine out, so much so that it starts hurting. 

I have tried not squeezing but this leads to little amount of urine getting out which was inside. I am getting depressed doing this every single day. What to do to solve it?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate

I pray you are well.

It is good that you found the previous answer useful, and you have been following the guidelines in the answer.

I think you were doing extreme by squeezing, as there is no need. Urine is entering the bladder a lot of time. So, if you squeeze, after urine, some will come out. So, stop what you were doing. 

 I would like to suggest that you just do the following:

1. After using the toilet, wait a few moments to make sure all remaining drops exit,
2. Squeeze and slightly twist the private part,
3. Wipe the private part with toilet paper,
4. Wash the private part with water three or so times, as mentioned in the Maraqi al-Falah, and
5. Sprinkle water onto your clothes and private parts.

I suggest you do 5 and leave everything aside, ignore any feelings and doubts. This is the best way to fight your misgivings. Also, long term solution is to continue doing pelvic floor exercises. If your situation does not improve, you may consult a doctor.

I pray this helps in your question.
