Preventing repeat bladder infections in postmenopausal women
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests two approaches to prevent repeat bladder infections in postmenopausal women: a daily antibiotic pill or a vaginal tablet containing healthy bacteria and estrogen. The goal is to see which method works better over 6 months.

This study compares taking a daily antibiotic (nitrofurantoin) alone versus having a procedure that cauterizes bladder areas (fulguration) plus the same daily antibiotic, to see which is better at preventing recurrent urinary tract infections in women.
This study compares two common antibiotics, nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin, to see which works better for treating bladder infections (cystitis) in women. If you have a bladder infection, this trial will help find the best treatment for you.
This study looks at the bacteria living in the vagina, urine tract, and stool to learn why some women get repeated urinary tract infections (UTIs). The results may help doctors better prevent or treat UTIs in the future.
This trial studies different ways to prevent repeated bladder (urinary tract) infections in women. It may help people who keep getting these infections by testing safer or more effective prevention strategies.
This study tests whether a simple sugar called D-mannose can help prevent repeat urinary tract infections (UTIs) in postmenopausal women. If you have had frequent UTIs, this trial will see if D-mannose is a good option to keep you infection-free.
This trial tests a therapy (called GAG therapy) to prevent repeat urinary tract infections (UTIs) in adult women. It compares how similar the results are to a well-known antibiotic standard (nitrofurantoin) to see if it works reliably.
