This trial tests an antibiotic called fosfomycin for treating urinary tract infections in men. It aims to see if it works well and safely in a primary care setting.
This trial tests whether using a special antiseptic solution (Irrisept) when removing a urinary catheter can lower the chance of getting a urinary tract infection. It is for people visiting a urology clinic for catheter removal who are not already on antibiotics.
This study tests whether circumcision (removal of foreskin) helps prevent fever-causing urinary tract infections in newborn boys born with a rare bladder valve condition. Researchers will compare boys who receive circumcision with those who don't to see if it reduces infections.
This study tests whether putting testosterone in the vagina can help prevent future bladder infections (UTIs) compared with a dummy treatment. It’s for older postmenopausal women who keep getting UTIs, especially those who can’t or don’t want to use vaginal estrogen.
This trial studies whether giving antibiotics by mouth alone is enough to treat a urinary tract infection (UTI) in very young babies. It may help reduce the need for stronger or more invasive antibiotic approaches if you meet the study’s stability and urine-test requirements.
This trial tests a vaginal gel to see if it can prevent frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women. It may help if you have had at least 4 UTIs in the past year or 2 in the past 6 months.
