Pessary Fitting

A vaginal pessary is a removal soft, silicone device that is inserted into your vagina to help support pelvic organ descent. A pessary can help to lift the pelvic organs and relieve symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse as well as provide support whilst you are undertaking a pelvic floor muscle program.

Your physiotherapist may recommend a pessary for you to help reduce or stop urinary leakage, reduce or prevent pelvic organ prolapse, help support when returning to exercise or prevent surgical intervention.Prior to fitting a pessary your physiotherapist will need to do an assessment to ensure you are a good candidate for a pessary, including the assessment of your skin quality, severity of prolapse and your ability to manage your pessary.

We will also liaise with your health care providers (GP or Gynaecologist) to ensure your pessary is well managed.
