    Routine antibiotics after urodynamic investigation offer doubtful benefit for women. Many patients had undetected infections, suggesting antibiotics are more effective when administered before the tests.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Infectious Disease

    Background:

    • Urodynamic investigations are common urological procedures.
    • Antibiotic prophylaxis is sometimes used post-procedure to prevent infections.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of routine antibiotic prophylaxis administered after urodynamic investigation.
    • To determine the incidence of unsuspected infections in women undergoing urodynamic testing.

    Main Methods:

    • Study included 96 women undergoing urodynamic investigation.
    • Data collected on post-procedure infections and pre-existing infections.

    Main Results:

    • Routine antibiotic prophylaxis after the procedure showed doubtful value.
    • A significant number of women had unsuspected infections at the time of testing, despite prior screening.

    Conclusions:

    • Post-procedure antibiotic prophylaxis following urodynamic investigation is of questionable benefit.
    • Administering antibiotics before urodynamic investigation may be more effective due to the high incidence of pre-existing, undetected infections.
