However, an isolated questionnaire for PMD was lacking and out of the researchers’ interest. PMS has always been evaluated together with other LUTS in these questionnaires. The universally accepted questionnaires, such as the Danish Prostatic Symptom score (DAN ‐ PSS ‐ 1), and the International Prostate Symptom score (IPSS) developed for diagnosis, treatment, follow-up of LUTS (7,8). PMD was also shown to account for much of the PMS in men (5) and it was postulated that PMD is perhaps one of the most common lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) (5,6). The prevalence rate of PMD in men is positively associated with advanced age and was reported to a wide range between 5.5% and 58.1% (3,4). The exact pathophysiological mechanism for PMD is unclear and it can be found in men without any underlying pathognomonic findings (2). PMD is defined as the involuntary loss of urine generally just after leaving the toilet in men or immediately after a person has finished urinating (1). Post-micturition dribble (PMD) and the sensation of incomplete emptying are considered the post-micturition symptoms (PMS). The effectiveness of bulbar urethral massage used in the treatment of PMD can be evaluated more objectively with this questionnaire. Moreover, thanks to this validation study, a valid questionnaire was obtained for Turkish studies on PMD. This study could lead to the validation of HMPDQ in different countries. Post-micturition dribble (PMD) is common as an isolated symptom in men, hallym post micturition dribble questionnaire (HPMDQ) has been developed as the only measurement tool for this symptom. Quality of life scales, questionnaires and scoring systems have been used in many areas of modern medicine to provide reproducible and accurate measurements. What’s known on the subject? and What does the study add? Keywords: Post-micturition dribble, questionnaire, Turkish validation, incontinence This study also showed that bulbar urethral massage is an effective method to relieve PMD. The Turkish version of HPMDQ was observed as a reliable tool for evaluating patients with PMD.

The mean value of HPMDQ-Q5, evaluating the treatment response of bulbar urethra massage, was 1.81+1.02, suggesting an effective treatment of PMD. Considering the relationship between the HPMDQ and the IPSS, the HPMDQ’s total score correlated significantly with that of the total IPSS (p=0.660, p<0.001), the voiding symptoms of the LUTS (p=0.621, p<0.001), and post-void residual volume (p=0.614, p<0.001) but not with the storage symptoms of the LUTS (p=0.245). The kappa coefficient for the total score of the Turkish HPMDQ score was 0.789. Fifty-five people being affected by PMD were offered bulbar urethral massage for one month and then re-applied with the questionnaires. The responses of 103 patients were analysed. The final draft of the Turkish HPMDQ and International Prostate Symptome score (IPSS) were compared for male patients who were admitted to the urology outpatient clinic between June 2020 and September 2020.

The secondary objective is to appraise the relationship between PMD and other LUTS and the effectiveness of bulbar urethral massage in patients with PMD. In this study, our primary aim was to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the hallym post micturition dribble questionnaire (HPMDQ).

As the evidence has been increasing about the post-micturition dribble (PMD) symptom, widely accepted lower-urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) questionnaires fail to assess PMD alone.
