Prophylactic Antibiotics for Outpatient Urethral Bulking: Impact on Post-Procedural Urinary Tract Infection Rates

Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether taking prophylactic (preventative) antibiotics at the time of standard of care clinic-based urethral bulking reduces the risk of post-procedural urinary tract infection (UTI).

Interventions

  • Drug Bactrim (800/160 mg) or Macrobid (100mg)
    Participants will receive a single oral dose of either Bactrim (800 mg sulfamethoxazole + 160 mg trimethoprim) or if allergic to sulfonamides, a single oral dose of Macrobid (100 mg nitrofurantoin) at the time of the urethral bulking procedure.

Primary outcome measures

  • Incidence of post-procedural urinary tract infection (UTI) within six weeks following urethral bulking procedure [Time frame: 6 Weeks]

Eligibility criteria

  • Negative testing for UTI in pre-procedural work-up (including either negative urine culture or urine dip negative for infection).
  • Post-void residual volume of 150 mL or less (measured by either catheterization or bladder scan)
  • Fluent in English or Spanish
  • Able and willing to provide informed consent
