A pessary is a small, medical-grade device inserted into the vagina to support the pelvic organs.
It’s commonly used to relieve symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse (like bladder, uterus, or rectal prolapse) and stress urinary incontinence. It’s a non-surgical solution that can offer immediate, effective relief with minimal disruption to your daily life.
No, most patients find the fitting process to be very manageable. You may feel some pressure or mild discomfort during the initial fitting, but it’s usually brief.
Our team is trained to ensure your comfort throughout the process, and the pessary itself should feel unnoticeable once properly fitted. We understand that the process may be unfamiliar for a lot of women, which is why our team takes the time to walk you through what the process will entail, and answer any questions you may have.
The cost can vary depending on the type of pessary and whether it’s covered through private insurance or benefit plans.
If patients have extended health care benefits that cover physiotherapy services, we can direct bill for the initial assessment, pessary fitting and follow-up appointment costs. Patients will have to pay out of pocket for the pessary itself.
We’re happy to provide a detailed estimate and help you navigate your insurance options.
No, you don’t need a doctor’s referral to book an appointment at our pessary clinic. You can book directly with us, online or by phone. However, it is highly recommended if you already have a referral from your doctor or specialist, we’re happy to coordinate care with them.
Most patients are fitted with a pessary in a single visit. However In some cases, a follow-up may be needed to fine-tune the fit or explore different styles.
After that, we recommend regular check-ins every few months to monitor comfort and hygiene.
Yes, but it’s very manageable.
Some types of pessaries can be removed, cleaned, and reinserted at home, while others may require periodic check-ups at the clinic for cleaning and inspection.
We’ll teach you exactly how to care for your specific type and ensure it stays safe and effective.
