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.
