@jeffmarc - I do have a similar problem. I can pee ‘til I’m empty, then do some small activity immediately afterwards, like sitting or reaching to turn the light switch off, and…squirt!

I can bed down, pick up my 20-lb stand mixer, carry it across the room and set it down, no problem, but just a minute or so later, turn partway to my left or right, and…squirt!

I spoke to my care team about it and they suggested I try “massaging” my penis after peeing, to get rid of any last little drips, but that hasn’t really done much good.

It’s bearable, more an annoyance than anything else.

@turtbean
My guess would be that activating obliques causes squeezing bladder and squirting. Perhaps some very good PT would know how to fix that or what muscles need to get stronger to make contra-balance to obliques. Did you try activating Kegel before twisting ?
