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 a single dose of fosfomycin, an antibiotic, compared to a placebo for treating urinary tract infections in men. The goal is to see if it helps relieve symptoms and clear the infection better than no active treatment.
This study tests whether circumcision alone can reduce the risk of urinary tract infections with fever in newborn boys who have posterior urethral valves, a birth defect that can block urine flow. It compares circumcision alone to standard care, and aims to see if it helps prevent these infections.
This study tests whether the medication finasteride, normally used for hair loss or prostate problems, can reduce bacteria on the skin that sometimes cause joint infections after surgery. If you are a healthy man in the eligible age range, you may help researchers learn if this simple pill could lower infection risk.
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 trial tests whether early use of oxybutynin can improve bladder and urine behavior in very young boys with posterior urethral valves. It is mainly for babies whose bladder tests show problems even after valve surgery.
