What is a pessary?
Vaginal pessaries are flexible devices made of medical grade silicone, that are inserted into the vagina to help treat various gynecological issues.
Common uses for vaginal pessaries include treating urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. Consider wearing a pessary if you:
- Need temporary or long-term help with urine leakage
- Have bothersome urinary incontinence or prolapse symptoms and want a non-surgical option.
Pessaries vary in size and shape. To find the best fit for you, an office visit will be scheduled with one of our experienced providers. Proper care and maintenance are essential for the longevity and effectiveness of the pessary. Please follow the instructions provided by your provider on how to clean and care for your pessary regularly.
