Antibiotics before Bulkamid for bladder leakage
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a single dose of antibiotics before a Bulkamid procedure (a gel injection for bladder leakage) helps prevent infections. It is for people with stress urinary incontinence (leakage with coughing or sneezing) who are already planning to have this treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have a Bulkamid procedure for stress urinary incontinence (leakage with coughing, sneezing, or exercise).
- Your urine test (dip or culture) shows no infection before the procedure.
- You have had a test that shows you leak urine when you cough or strain (cough stress test or urodynamics).
- After you urinate, your bladder empties well (less than 150 mL left).
- You are not allergic to antibiotics, do not have kidney problems, and are not currently on daily antibiotics.
- You are not pregnant, do not have frequent UTIs (3 in the past year or 2 in the past 6 months), and are not having other pelvic surgery at the same time.

This study compares two treatments for stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when you cough or sneeze) done at the same time as surgery to fix a dropped bladder or uterus. One treatment is a small gel injection (bulking), the other is a sling procedure that supports the urethra.
This study looks at whether taking a short course of oral antibiotics after a urethral bulking procedure can prevent infections. If you are already planning to have this procedure, this study may help make your recovery smoother.
This trial tests whether taking antibiotics before a urethral bulking procedure can help prevent infections. It is for people who are scheduled for this procedure and have no history of recurrent UTIs or bladder problems.
This study compares two procedures for stress urinary incontinence: a bulking agent injection and a single-incision sling. If you're a woman who leaks urine with activity, you may be randomly assigned to get one of these treatments to see which works better over time.
This study tests a computer-based system to help you monitor your bladder symptoms after receiving Botox injections for overactive bladder or urge incontinence. The goal is to see if you can use this self-check tool at home to track how well the treatment is working.
This study looks at whether taking antibiotics shortly before bladder Botox injections affects outcomes for people with overactive bladder. It aims to clarify what to do about antibiotic use before treatment.
