Pessary Fitting and Support

If you live in Oklahoma City and are experiencing pelvic organ prolapse or stress urinary incontinence, your urologist may recommend a vaginal pessary. Pessaries are a safe, non-surgical option that can help support your pelvic organs and improve your quality of life.

What Is a Vaginal Pessary?

A vaginal pessary is a small, medical-grade silicone device that is placed inside the vagina to support the bladder, uterus, or rectum. It is commonly used to treat:

Pelvic organ prolapse (when organs drop into or outside of the vaginal canal)
Stress urinary incontinence (leakage with coughing, laughing, or exercising)

Pessaries come in different shapes and sizes. Your urologist will fit you with the right pessary based on your needs and comfort.

Benefits of Vaginal Pessaries

Non-surgical option: No anesthesia or recovery time needed.
Effective symptom relief: Helps reduce bulging, pelvic pressure, and leakage.
Customizable: Can be fitted and adjusted to your comfort.
Reversible: Can be removed at any time if you decide on another treatment.

For many women, especially those who want to avoid or delay surgery, pessaries offer excellent relief.

What to Expect During Fitting

During your pessary fitting in our Oklahoma City clinic, your urologist will:

Perform a gentle pelvic exam.
Try different pessary sizes or shapes for the best fit.
Show you how to insert, remove, and clean it (if you prefer self-care).

Some women choose to remove their pessary for cleaning, while others prefer routine cleaning and checks in the office.

Caring for Your Pessary

Clean it regularly with mild soap and water if you remove it at home.
Schedule follow-up visits so your urologist can check fit and vaginal health.
Report any irritation, unusual discharge, or discomfort.

Is a Vaginal Pessary Right for You?

A vaginal pessary may be a good option if you:

Have pelvic organ prolapse or stress urinary incontinence.
Want to avoid or postpone surgery.
Prefer a conservative, reversible treatment option.

Many women in Oklahoma City find pessaries help them return to daily activities comfortably and confidently.
