why, even after vigorous shaking, i still get the pee drip onto my pants, and why does it seem to get progressively more as i grow older

Question

I fail to understand why this happens more often as i (m28) grow older, and the drip seems to burn the foreskin even more.
I dunno if this has been asked before

You may have an enlarged prostate. Other symptoms would include weak urine stream, dribbling, difficulty starting a stream, increased frequency of urination (especially at night), incomplete bladder emptying, possible pain/burning that can be in the tip of the penis or radiate from the hip. If this continues to be an issue go see your doctor as there are several reasons a prostate can be enlarged and you would need workup for an infection. Also consider applying upward pressure (a few times after urinating) to the perineum (area between testicles and anus) this will push out any urine that remains in the urethra as a result of the prostate clamping down on the urethra. As men grow older the prostate continues to grow. The vast majority of men will have enlarged prostate in their 70s, however, the first phase of growth is in the 20s and some do have symptoms (albeit rare) during that phase.
