What is a Pessary and Why Would You Need One?
A pessary is a small, removable medical device designed to support your pelvic organs and reduce symptoms caused by pelvic organ prolapse. Think of it as a gentle scaffold for your pelvic organs, providing relief from prolapse symptoms, such as feelings of pressure, bulging, or heaviness. Made from soft, medical-grade silicone, pessaries come in various shapes and sizes because every woman’s anatomy is unique. They can be used all the time or just during activities like exercise or gardening.
Pessaries are a suitable option for the management of prolapse symptoms for many women. Your pelvic health physiotherapist or health care provider can discuss this with you.
The Pessary Fitting Process at Beyond East Melbourne
At Beyond East Melbourne, we take a personalised approach to ensure your pessary is fitted comfortably and effectively. Please note our Pessary fitting appointments are on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Step 1: Initial Consultation
Your journey starts with a Pelvic Floor consultation. During this session, we assess your individual needs and determine if a pessary is the right solution for your condition. We’ll provide detailed information about pessaries, including their benefits and how they work. Before proceeding with a fitting, medical clearance from your GP is required. Don’t worry – we’ll guide you through this process and can assist in discussing your care with your GP.
Step 2: The Pessary Fitting Appointment
The fitting process is a 60-minute appointment with one of our highly trained Women’s, Men’s & Pelvic Health Physiotherapists. During this session, we’ll determine the best type, size, and shape of pessary for your unique needs. Depending on the type of pessary, we’ll teach you how to insert, remove, and care for it, equipping you with the confidence to manage it on your own if needed.
Step 3: Ongoing Care
Follow-up appointments are essential to ensure the pessary continues to work effectively and safely for you. Some clients may need a few fittings to find the perfect pessary, as it’s a process of trial and adjustment. These follow-ups allow us to make necessary adjustments and ensure your pessary provides the long-term support you need.
At Beyond East Melbourne, we’re here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring you feel supported and empowered throughout the process.
