  • Title: Use of a pessary for the management of pelvic organ prolapse.
    Author: Fritzinger KG, Newman DK, Dinkin E.
    Journal: Lippincotts Prim Care Pract; 1997; 1(4):431-6. PubMed ID: 9313536.
    Abstract:
    Pessaries provide nonsurgical management of pelvic organ prolapse in women who are not viable candidates for or who do not choose to undergo surgical intervention. It is necessary to take into consideration that when pessary use is indicated, it is crucial that the clinician assess the physical and mental capabilities of the individual. A client with compromised eyesight or motor abilities may not be able to manage the insertion and subsequent care of the device.
