Cup Pessary Without Support - ProFem

Cup Pessary for Treating less Severe conditions

The cup pessary without extra support is ideal for less severe cases. This type is more flexible and may be easier to insert and remove on your own.

How does the pessary work?

The cup-shaped vaginal pessary supports and cradles the cervix to prevent prolapse. It stays securely in the vagina for maximum effectiveness.

When should i use a cup pessary without support

Uterus prolapse

The uterus is supported by the ‘hammock-like’ combination of pelvic floor muscles, tissue and ligaments.
When these structures are too weak the uterus slips downwards from its natural anatomical position into the vaginal cavity.

Cystocele

A cystocele occurs when the bladder pushes into the vagina. Depending on the grade of prolapse this can be from a grade one where the bladder bulges into the vaginal wall to the most severe where the bulge appears through the entrance of the vagina.

Stress incontinence

Stress incontinence is a form of urinary incontinence. It is due to insufficient strength of the closure of the bladder and can occur when pressure on the bladder is increased because of coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercise etc.

Proper Cleaning Instructions for Vaginal Pessaries

If you want to clean the cup pessary at home, the best way is by submerging it in lukewarm water and mild soap.
