In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The primary aim of this study is to assess the utility of prophylactic oral antibiotics at time of Bulkamid transurethral bulking to reduce the incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI) in the immediate postoperative period. The secondary aims of the study include assessing UTI rates and success rates if patients require temporary indwelling catheter versus intermittent self-catheterization (ISC).
