What Is a Vaginal Pessary?
A vaginal pessary is a removable medical-grade silicone device placed in the vagina. Its purpose is to provide structural support to the pelvic organs, such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum, when the pelvic floor muscles have weakened. By supporting these organs, a pessary can effectively alleviate the symptoms associated with pelvic organ prolapse.
Your Pessary Fitting and Management
Initial Consultation and Evaluation
Your visit begins with a thorough pelvic examination and a discussion of your symptoms and medical history. Our team at Florida Bladder Institute will assess the type and severity of your prolapse to determine if a pessary is the right option for you. This comprehensive evaluation ensures we understand your unique anatomical needs.
Custom Pessary Fitting Process
Finding the correct pessary involves trying several shapes and sizes during your appointment. The goal is to find a device that is both effective in supporting your pelvic organs and comfortable for you to wear throughout the day. We will ensure the fit is precise before you leave.
Learning to Use Your Device
Once the ideal pessary is selected, we will teach you how to insert, remove, and clean it yourself. Our team provides clear, step-by-step instructions and ample time to practice, empowering you to manage your device at home with confidence.
Follow-Up and Ongoing Care
Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to check the pessary’s fit and ensure your vaginal tissues remain healthy. These visits allow us to make any necessary adjustments and confirm the device continues to provide optimal support. Consistent care is key to long-term success.
