Does smoking cigarettes make you have to urinate more often?

Unlikely: Smoking cigarettes is a risk factor for bladder cancer. It should not make you urinate more often. However, the breakdown products of smoking can cause bladder irritability and possibly cause urinary symptoms although this is not common.

Why do I drip after urinating?

Dr. Robert Kwok answered

Maybe change habits: Post-void dribbling is the leakage of a bit of urine after the penis is back in the pants. A man can see his primary care doctor or a urologist, since adults can have more serious problems. If the penis is normal and the foreskin is not trapping urine, then be sure the penis hangs freely while peeing. One should relax at the end to let the last drops come out. Women who drip have different issues.

Feeling want to urinate frequently ?
2 doctor answers • 5 doctors weighed in
Dr. Jeff Livingston answered
Obstetrics and Gynecology 22 years experience
Infection vs OAB: When people feel like they have to urinate frequently this is called urinary urgency. This can be caused by bladder infections, oab (overactive bladder) or a chronic inflammatory condition called interstitial cystitis. An obgyn or urologist would be a good place to start or see your primary care doctor to help direct you.
