Pessary Fitting
Expert Pelvic Health Care
A pessary is a soft, medical-grade silicone device placed inside the vagina. It supports the pelvic organs and helps reduce symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse. Some pessaries can also help manage certain types of urinary leakage.
At Alpine Physiotherapy, our Women’s Health physiotherapists provide expert assessment, sizing, pessary fitting and ongoing care. We understand that every woman is different. We take time to find the right pessary for your body and your lifestyle.
What Can a Pessary Help With?
A pessary may help if you experience:
- Pelvic organ prolapse
- A feeling of heaviness or dragging
- A vaginal bulge
- Bladder leakage during exercise or coughing
- Difficulty staying active because of prolapse symptoms
- Support during exercise or long days on your feet
Every Woman Is Different
There is no one-size-fits-all pessary. Every vagina has a unique shape and size. Pessaries also come in many different shapes and sizes.
Our highly trained Pelvic Health physiotherapist will assess your symptoms and anatomy carefully. We will fit the pessary that best suits your needs. If needed, we can trial different options until you are comfortable.
Stay Active With Confidence
A well-fitted pessary can help you return to the activities you enjoy. Many women find they can walk, hike, run, ski, lift weights, and enjoy everyday life with greater confidence.
Living in Wanaka means staying active. We want to help you continue doing the things you love without your pelvic symptoms holding you back.
Your Pessary Appointment
Your appointment includes a thorough pelvic health assessment and discussion about your goals. We explain every step before beginning. Your comfort and privacy are always our priority.
We will teach you how to care for your pessary. Some women remove and replace it themselves. Others prefer regular review appointments. We will recommend the best plan for you.
