Summary
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common complication after surgery for prolapse or
urinary incontinence. UTIs are painful and have the potential to turn into kidney infections.
We are asking women who self-catheterize after surgery to try either an antibiotic or a
placebo pill so we can see if we can prevent UTIs without causing side effects.
This study will not require any additional visits or blood draws. You will be asked to answer
some questions, keep a brief diary of your experience, and immediately report any symptoms of
a UTI to your doctor.
