Leaking when I stand up after peeing

I’m a year postpartum and about 50 percent of the time after I finish weeing and I stand up, I leak a tiny bit. Just a tiny little bit. It bothers me sooo much. I had a couple of sessions of phsyio, but I’m still suffering with this issue. Apparently it is to do with my hypertonic pelvic floor, but I thought I had learnt to release it properly. I feel so fed up. Am I alone? Does anyone have any ideas for me? Thank you.

I was told this could be due to a mild prolapse of the urethra - a urethrocele or anterior wall prolapse I think it's called. That was from a very good pelvic health physio. She recommended shifting position and leaning right forward at the end as there can be a kind of... pooling(?) effect due to the prolapse. But this might not be the case for you as I'd have thought the physio would've mentioned if there was a prolapse there!

Thank you for sharing. The physio did an internal check and said there was no sign of prolapse, but maybe she missed something . Thank you.
