Post-void dribbling

This code describes the involuntary leakage of urine that occurs after the completion of micturition, specifically after the patient believes they have finished urinating. It is a form of urinary incontinence, often resulting from incomplete emptying of the urethra.

Use this code when documentation explicitly states "post-void dribbling" or describes the characteristic symptom of urine leakage occurring shortly after voiding. This condition is frequently observed in men due to prostatic issues or urethral anatomy, but can also occur in women.

• Do not confuse with stress incontinence or urge incontinence, which have distinct clinical presentations and codes.
• Always look for documentation specifying the timing of the leakage relative to urination.
• Consider sequencing this code with underlying causes, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or urethral stricture, if documented.
