Vaginal pessaries

2 replies

Does anyone have any experience of vaginal pessaries. I went in January to have one fitted by my nurse practitioner and she tried two. The 2nd one was a better fit and left GPS with it. It came out with in a day and I learnt how to put it in. Sometimes it can stay in for a few days or hours but I love the immediate relief it gives. Nurse called and said we could try a larger one. Unfortunately she's now of on the sick and not sure when she'll be back also no one else at the surgery deals with these. So I've purchased a pvc one a size larger . The one I had fitted was silicone. So far so good. Don't feel uncomfortable or anything. Has anyone had experience with a pvc one ? I believe they only last 6 months where as a silicone one lasts 5 years. Thanks in advance xx

Is it a ring pessary ? For prolapse ?
I go every 6 months to get mine changed by the NP. I've had no trouble at all with mine.

I've had a pessary tablet for thrush, which came with a plastic applicator, a bit like a long thin version of a tampon applicator, but I suspect this is not what you're referring to, as it dissolved over some time, and I just got a little chalky residue.
