A pessary is a medical device that is inserted into the vagina to support the pelvic organs, such as the uterus, bladder, or rectum. Pessaries are often used to treat conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, and fecal incontinence. There are many different types of pessaries, and the type that is right for you will depend on your individual needs.
If you are considering using a pessary, it is important to talk to your doctor to discuss the benefits and risks. Pessaries can be an effective treatment for many conditions, but they are not right for everyone. Your doctor can help you decide if a pessary is right for you and can provide you with instructions on how to insert and remove it.
