“We are devoted to the specialized service of fitting pessaries.”
Pessary fitting
Pessary
A pessary is a removable, flexible device inserted into the vagina to support the pelvic organs, including the bladder, uterus, and rectum, helping to reduce unwanted symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
The most common symptoms of prolapse include heaviness, pressure, and bulging at the vaginal opening, low back or low abdominal pain, and incomplete or difficulty emptying the bladder or bowels.
Urinary Incontinence
Pessaries can also be used in instances of urinary incontinence (bladder leakage), when rushing to the bathroom, sneezing, coughing, laughing, running, or jumping, etc.
Fitted for You
Internal Exam
The appropriate size and shape is determined through an internal pelvic exam. It may take a few trials to find the best fit- one that is comfortable and supports the pelvic organs well. A properly fitted pessary is comfortable when it is in place.
Decreased Symptoms
About two-thirds of women find that a pessary helps to decrease their symptoms.
