Hi,
When you are ready for a pessary, please try several styles and sizes until you get the right fit.
I tried 2 rings...different sizes...and they were not comfortable. The next style had a little nubby
handle and, on the second size try, I knew it was an immediate fit. You should not be able to feel
anything. It should not fall out or irritate you in any way. I had a very patient AARNP in the OBY/GYN office.
Best thing I ever did. She should make sure you can insert and remove on your own before you leave
the office. She will probably recommend a vaginal RX cream (I use a low dose estrogen cream twice a week
which means I remove at night, use the cream, and re insert the following day. Use of some kind of
vaginal cream will also make removing and inserting easier....think of it like a moisutrizer.

Good luck
FL Mary

Thank you for your input. I went to the bladder institute and saw the AARNP. She didn't explain anything because I opted for the Emsella chair. I feel she will be good if I decide on the pessary. The pessary sounds messy, but it beats surgery. I appreciate your positive comments.
