Firstly, I would suggest that you see your GP for a full check-up, as one of the common health issues of a man of your age is the prostate. The GP will do a physical and some pathology tests to rule out any prostate or other medical causes for the dribbling of urine.

You should also make contact with a Continence Advisor in your area for a full assessment which will also identify some reasons why you are experiencing the dribbling of urine. The number to find a Continence Advisor in your local area is The Continence Foundation of Australia on freecall 1800 33 00 66. They can also advise you on male specific incontinence aids to assist you to avoid embarrassment, such as a Depend Guards for Men.

One of the main causes of urine leakage and dribbling apart from prostate problems for a male is poor bladder habits and not milking the penis of urine. All males should sit to pass urine and not stand. This is because a few mLs of urine is trapped in the dip of the urethra, and when you pull up your underwear, the pressure that is created expresses the urine in that dip, resulting in dribbling of urine.
