What Are Pessaries and Prolapse?

A Vaginal pessary is a medical device that is similar to a firm ring or diaphragm that is used to treat a medical condition called prolapse. Prolapse happens when an organ within the body moves down below its normal position and usually protrudes from an orifice such as the rectum or the vagina. A pessary is used to effectively provide support and prevent these organs from slipping down past their normal position and comes in several different forms to treat varying medical conditions. In addition to prolapse, pessaries can also be used to treat retroverted uterus, cystocele and stress urinary incontinence.
