Description

Pessaries are medical devices designed to provide support or relief for various pelvic floor disorders, such as pelvic organ prolapse or urinary incontinence, by supporting the vaginal walls or elevating the uterus. They come in various shapes, sizes, and materials, including silicone, plastic, or rubber, and are inserted into the vagina to provide structural support. Pessaries are commonly used when conservative measures, such as pelvic floor exercises or lifestyle modifications, have not provided sufficient relief, or when surgery is not desired or feasible. They can be fitted and prescribed by healthcare providers and require regular monitoring and maintenance. Pessaries are effective in managing symptoms and improving quality of life for individuals with pelvic floor disorders.
