As a 55 year old, relatively new pessary wearer, from Scotland, this was super helpful. I found you on tiktok of all places. I have a donut as anything bigger was uncomfortable - not much choice here. Sometimes it feels like it moves position. Might need the next size up. Had it in for over 6 months. Can't take it out myself. Wish there were people like you in Scotland. This was a great clip. Gonna see about buying the cream but have atrophy and LS so worry it might irritate it more. But honestly thanks for your clip👍

Thank you very much! I am glad that this was helpful. I appreciate your comments greatly. One thing to consider is seeing a nurse practitioner b/c they tend to have more time to speand with you. Good luck!

I would say to try the ring with Support first. If it doesn't work, then try the inflatable doughnut. An enterocele is essentially another term for vaginal vault prolapse after hysterectomy, if your uterus was removed.

Hi, I’m also from Scotland. I see this was three years ago but wondered if you are still using the pessary?

Thank you, I am 76 and my main hobby is hiking my Dr inserted the pessary and said to come back in a year. It fell out the first time I went to the toilet I don't like bothering people so your information was important for me to get on with it myself and start getting out there again thank you

I know a lot of women who don't want surgery or want to have babies, so this seems like a great idea!

Yes, it really works well for women who are pregnant and have bladder leakage upon exertion. Many time this bladder problem goes away after they delivery their baby.

Best explanation yet. Thank you. Yes the donut is a small torture device. I suffered with one for over a year. I did manage to insert it and remove it myself. But yikes. What is your opinion of the inflatable donut? I dread going in for a fitting. The time I did go for a fitting was horrendous. I left with the donut. For me it is enterocele and I can't find a whole lot of information about dealing with it specifically. I am thinking of trying a ring with support because of the possibility of ease of self care and maintenance. Thank you.

update: Small oval with support works . Was giving up hope but the small oval works very well.

Very helpful. I am anticipating getting a pessary next month and I have been kind of freaked out about. This (somewhat!) relieved my anxiety.

Does the pessary need to sit behind the pubic bone? Mine falls into the vaginal canal and idk if that means it’s not the right fit. My OB follow up is months away unfortunately

@TheVaginacologist Жыл бұрын

@@Pia1870. It is unlikely that the pessary is the cause of your pain. However, if you are able to manage the pessary, take it out and see if your pain resolves. If you are unable to manage it, return to the office for an exam. You can purchase a pessary assistant on Amazon, which helps you remove and insert the pessary.
