Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two common laxatives to see which works better for preventing constipation after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse or stress urinary incontinence. It will help find the best way to keep you comfortable during recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman scheduled for surgery to treat pelvic organ prolapse and/or stress urinary incontinence.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are not having any other bowel surgery at the same time (like colon resection or anal repair).
- You are not getting a sacral neuromodulation device (a nerve stimulator for the bladder) alone.

This study tests whether a non-surgical (“conservative”) approach can improve constipation-related bowel problems in women who have a mild-to-moderate rectal bulge from pelvic organ prolapse. It may help by addressing how the rectum and pelvic floor work during bowel movements.
This trial tests whether the drug tamsulosin (a medication that relaxes bladder muscles) helps you urinate more easily right after same-day surgery for pelvic organ prolapse or incontinence. It aims to reduce the need for a catheter after surgery.
This trial studies how well and how safely a synthetic mesh surgery works for people with pelvic organ prolapse, especially when it causes bladder or urinary problems. It may help find better symptom relief, but it also tracks side effects closely.
