Use of Pessary Rings:

1. Pelvic Support Defects:

In the nonsurgical treatment of pelvic support problems, the pessary is most commonly implemented. Multiple vaginal deliveries may cause the pelvic floor muscles to deteriorate. Conditions that require repetitive bearing down, such as chronic constipation, chronic coughing, or repetitive heavy lifting, can make a woman more susceptible to pelvic floor dysfunction after a hysterectomy or other pelvic surgery.

Some patients may choose to use a pessary as a temporary management option, even though surgical repair of certain pelvic support deficiencies offers a more long-lasting alternative. More people are presenting with pelvic floor problems as the elderly population grows. Most of these patients can safely utilize a pessary, even though many of them would not be good candidates for surgery.

2. Support Uterine Prolapse:

The severity of uterine prolapse is categorized (Figure 2). When the perineum is depressed in first-degree uterine prolapse, the cervix is exposed. In second-degree prolapse, the uterine fundus is still enclosed within the vaginal introitus, but the cervix is visible outside of it. The entire uterus is outside of the vaginal introitus in third-degree prolapse, also known as procidentia. Incontinence, vaginitis, cystitis, and perhaps uterine cancer are all linked to uterine prolapse.

How to treat Uterine prolapse?

The most common treatment for first- and second-degree uterine prolapse is a ring pessary. Additionally helpful in the management of mild to moderate uterine prolapse are the doughnut and inflatable pessaries. A ring pessary with support is beneficial if the cystocele and uterine prolapse are related.

Third-degree uterine prolapse is managed with the cube pessary. Removal may be challenging for some individuals since the cube is held in place by suction. With this kind of pessary, the uterus can be supported even in the absence of vaginal tone. It is necessary to remove and clean the cube pessary every day because it lacks drainage capabilities.

How to insert a pessary ring with support?

Patients with third-degree uterine prolapse can also utilize a donut-shaped, inflatable, or Gellhorn pessary. The Gellhorn pessary is made to treat serious vaginal or uterine prolapse. The Gellhorn provides substantial support, but it can be challenging for the patient to take off. A Gehrung pessary might be the most beneficial if a cystocele or rectocele also coexists with the third-degree uterine prolapse. However, inserting the Gehrung can be challenging.
