Pessary Ring for Uterine Prolapse Treatment

The pessary ring has been successfully used for many years and is becoming a popular treatment option. Pessary rings are an affordable and simple treatment for prolapse and stress incontinence. Pessaries are a safe alternative to costly surgery and the potential for associated complications.

How does the ring pessary work?

The vaginal pessary fits circularly around the cervix. This allows it to gently press the vaginal walls outward. As a result, it creates a supportive network for the pelvic floor.

Does the pessary ring treat uterine prolapse?

Uterus prolapse

Yes! This ring pessary is responsible for treating uterine prolapse. But, what is a 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.

Proper Cleaning Instructions for Vaginal Pessaries

The pessary ring should be removed regularly. Clean the pessary only with soapy water that is not too hot and then rinse carefully with warm water. Always check for possible cracks and tears.
