What is a Pessary — and Who Can Benefit?
A pessary is a small, removable medical device that supports the pelvic organs and can help manage pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence. When chosen and fitted correctly, a pessary offers a nonsurgical, customizable option that can relieve pressure, improve bladder control, and enhance daily comfort.
Why Choose Urology Specialists of Austin for Pessary Care?
Our board-certified team provides comprehensive pessary services—from careful evaluation to precise fitting and ongoing maintenance. We take time to understand your goals, activity level, and anatomy, then recommend the pessary type and size that best matches your needs. Whether you’re exploring conservative care before surgery or seeking a long-term solution, our clinicians deliver evidence-based guidance and compassionate support.
Personalized Fitting and Education
A successful pessary starts with a meticulous fitting. During your visit, we assess pelvic support, measure for comfort, and teach you how to insert, remove, and clean your device safely. Many patients find immediate relief once their pessary is in place. We also schedule follow-ups to confirm proper positioning, check vaginal tissue health, and make quick adjustments if needed. If self-care isn’t your preference, our team is happy to manage routine cleaning and replacement for you.
Comfort, Safety, and Long-Term Results
Pessary therapy is flexible and reversible. You can pause or change your pessary as your lifestyle or symptoms evolve, and we coordinate care with your primary or women’s health provider when appropriate. Most patients can continue their usual activities—walking, exercise, and travel—while enjoying better bladder control and pelvic support. Should your condition change, our specialists can discuss additional therapies, including pelvic floor physical therapy or surgical options.
