What is a vaginal pessary?

A vaginal pessary is a soft removable plastic or silicone device that is inserted into your vagina to help support areas that are affected by pelvic organ prolapse, such as your vaginal walls and uterus.

Dr Siva will measure and fit the right size and type of pessary for you in his rooms. Ring pessaries can be removed and reinserted by you daily for cleaning or before sexual intercourse, while other types of pessaries will need to be removed and cleaned by Dr Siva in his rooms every 3 to 6 months.
