The answer

If your feeling of urine drops exiting is merely an illusion, then it is a waswasah (whisper from Satan) that you should ignore, and wudu' is not invalidated except with certainty. However, if you are certain that urine exited after relieving yourself, you are not considered to suffer from سلس البول (urinary incontinence) unless the discharge is continuous, such that you do not find enough time to pray with proper taharah (purification).
