Hi! I am now 72 and had a hysterectomy when I was 30. First bladder lift at 35 second around 40. I have had pelvic floor therapy and not had much of a problem since. I have some leakage but I have other issues that are taking precedence right now. Find a doc that deals with the therapy methods...there are new techniques out there. The pessary thing sounds messy and like something my grandmother had...lol. But, don't give up...no reason we older women can't age gracefully.

Hi,

The pessary is not messy at all and I don’t understand some peoples’ negative reaction to it. My young pelvic floor therapist , a few years ago, had to use one. Like me, she doesn’t feel it at all and told me that hers had a hole in the middle of the ring and she did not have to remove it for intercourse. It’s a small silicone device and, at the tender age of 81, I have been using the same pessary for the past 5 years. No need to replace it as long as you wash it between uses.
A positive plus is that it stops the urge to urinate all the time.
