PEG3350 vs Senna after urogynecologic surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, 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.

- You are a woman scheduled for surgery to treat pelvic organ prolapse and/or stress urinary incontinence.
- You are at least 18 years old.

This trial compares two common stool-softening medications—senna (a natural laxative) and polyethylene glycol (PEG, a synthetic stool softener)—to see which works better for children who have frequent accidents due to constipation. The goal is to find the most effective and safe treatment.
This study compares sitz baths to regular care after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. It aims to see if sitz baths can help reduce pain and improve recovery. If you are having prolapse repair surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether giving a laxative before certain robotic urologic surgeries improves bowel function after surgery. It may help reduce constipation and related discomfort during recovery.
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.
