Sometimes right after urinating I feel as though urine 'drops' into some
sort of little holding area... it's not really painful, just slightly
uncomfortable... If I go to urinate, I can usually pass a little
(presumably that little bit)... if I just ignore it.. it usually doesn't
bother me... if I physically squeeze my sphincter shut then it seems to
not drop for as long as I hold it shut... but when I let out just a
small amount drops down t wherever it is that it is sitting... anyone
know what this might be?

Hey,
I'm new to this group, but that's exactly what I'd been going through.
Does it happen after ejaculating, too?
It's very probably prostatitis, but it could also feasibly be a
urethral stricture. The diagnosis of a stricture is very unpleasant
(catheter, camera... ow ow ow).
I'm still having this problem, and am going back to the uro in a few
weeks. In the meantime, I'm taking saw palmetto, and (on uro's advice)
trying to ejaculate more.
Best of luck,
Rob
