Prolapse Care

Vaginal support pessaries
A vaginal support pessary is a removable device, usually made from medical-grade silicone, designed to provide internal support and reduce symptoms such as heaviness, bulging or dragging.
Pessaries can be an excellent option for both short- and long-term management of prolapse and stress urinary incontinence. They may be used independently or alongside rehabilitation, depending on your goals and preferences.
Fitting, education and follow-up care are provided as part of a comprehensive prolapse management plan.
