Bathroom breakthrough: new wash may stop UTIs in older women
NCT ID NCT06598514
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using a chlorhexidine rinse after bowel movements can reduce urinary tract infections (UTIs) in post-menopausal women who already use vaginal estrogen and have frequent UTIs. About 136 women aged 55-89 will be randomly assigned to use either the chlorhexidine rinse or a plain water rinse. The main goal is to see if the chlorhexidine group has fewer UTIs over 90 days.
