Vaginal Pessaries

Treatment Overview

A vaginal pessary is a removable device placed into the vagina. It is designed to support areas of pelvic organ prolapse.

A variety of pessaries are available, including the ring, inflatable, doughnut, and Gellhorn.

Your doctor will fit your pessary to hold the pelvic organs in position without causing discomfort. Pessaries come in different sizes and should be fitted carefully.

Pessaries can be used successfully to treat other gynecologic conditions, such as a uterus that is in the wrong position or stress incontinence.
