In this prospective, institutional review board-approved, 2-cohort trial, all "new" patients presenting to a urogynecology office were offered to have a mirror or no-mirror present during their pelvic examination. Patients completed 100-mm visual analog scales regarding pain, anxiety, knowledge, control, embarrassment, and vulnerability before and after examination. The primary outcome was difference in level of pain and vulnerability between groups. Secondary outcomes included comparisons from baseline to postexamination scores within groups, patient satisfaction, and examination duration. A sample size of 68 participants in each arm was planned. From April 2019 to May 2020, 147 participants were enrolled. Two participants were excluded, 145 were included in the final analysis; 74 in the no-mirror group and 71 in the mirror group. The average age was 55.9 (±13) years, and the groue the examination experience for some.Clinical Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03785548. The objective of this study was to evaluate if twice-daily nitrofurantoin for 5 days after discontinuation of transurethral catheterization decreases the rate of urinary tract infection (UTI) in women with postoperative urinary retention (POUR) after pelvic reconstructive surgery. This was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial conducted across 2 clinical sites between October 2017 and April 2019. Women with acute POUR after pelvic reconstructive surgery were included and randomized to nitrofurantoin (100 mg) or placebo twice-daily for 5 days. The primary outcome was clinically suspected UTI (defined as dysuria, frequency, and irritation in the absence of vaginal discharge) and/or culture-proven UTI (defined as greater than 105 colony forming units of a single organism) within 30 days of surgery.
