A vaginal pessary is a small, removable medical device worn inside the vagina to support the pelvic organs and reduce prolapse or urinary leakage symptoms.
It offers:
💡Immediate symptom relief from heaviness, bulging, and pressure
💡An option to avoid or delay prolapse surgery
💡Reduction in bladder leakage and discomfort during movement
💡Extra support for postnatal recovery and exercise confidence
💡A safe, evidence-based, and non-invasive option
✅ No GP referral required
✅ Significantly shorter wait times than NHS gynaecology
✅ Norfolk’s only physiotherapist offering private pessary fittings
✅ Integrated pelvic floor rehab for better long-term results
✅ Ongoing support and pessary care education
✅ Holistic, trauma-informed and consent-led approach
This unique service combines expert vaginal assessment, pessary fitting, and physiotherapy-led rehab in one appointment.
📚Studies show over 70–90% of women report symptom relief from prolapse with pessary use¹
📚Combined pessary use + pelvic floor physiotherapy offers better long-term outcomes than either alone
📚Pessaries are safe for long-term wear, with low complication rates when used correctly²
📚NICE and IUGA recommend pessaries as a first-line conservative option for prolapse and SUI
