Hi ladies
has anyone used a pessary after they have had a hysterectomy ? I had a hysterectomy 3 years ago because of prolapsed uterus and now have a stage 3 prolapsed bladder , I'm waiting for a date to be set for my op . I'm lead to believe that a pessary would t hold in place because there is no uterus there so less likely to fall out? I don't do well with foreign objects in me ( had to have to coil took out after 3 weeks as hated the feel of it)
Sorry meant to say 'more likely to fall out'
I had a ring pessary inserted 2 twice prior to surgery. Once they find the right shape and size that fit properly. You shouldn't feel it. Believe me they do come in all shapes sizes and colours 😃😃
Was yours just to have while you waited for surgery ? The pain and heaviness is getting so bad I may look into it while I'm waitkng for surgery
Yes it was. It took a few attempts to get the right fit but once the right one was found it was quite comfortable.
