No peer-reviewed publication reporting this trial's results has been linked yet. This can indicate results are unpublished — a known publication-bias signal. We re-check periodically.

Summary

Conduct a randomized control study to compare the tolerance of 4% chlorhexidine gluconate/4% isopropyl alcohol versus povidone iodine vaginal cleansing solutions for surgical preparations of the vagina. Patients will be randomized to either control (povidone iodine) or experimental (chlorhexidine gluconate), and then be given a short survey prior to and immediately after surgery, and again 24-48 hours via phone asking them about the presence and severity of vaginal dryness, burning, itchiness, unusual vaginal discharge, and pain or burning with urination.
