  • Title: Characteristics of women with continued use of vaginal pessaries.
    Author: Lewthwaite BJ, Staley D, Girouard L, Maslow K.
    Journal: Urol Nurs; 2013; 33(4):171-6. PubMed ID: 24079114.
    Abstract:
    Vaginal pessaries have been shown to be a safe, effective treatment for pelvic organ prolapse, and in some cases, female urinary incontinence. There are limited data that predict long-term pessary use; therefore, the aim of this retrospective, exploratory study was to describe selected characteristics of women using a pessary for 12 months or longer in a nurse-run clinic.
