Prolapse & Pessary Fittings at Inland Pelvic Health

Prolapse

A supportive, personalized approach to feeling strong and confident again

Pelvic organ prolapse can feel overwhelming—both physically and emotionally. Many people describe a sense of heaviness, pressure, or “something falling out,” and often they aren’t sure where to turn or what their options really are. At Inland Pelvic Health, our goal is to help you understand what’s happening in your body, feel supported every step of the way, and guide you toward treatment options that truly fit your lifestyle.

One of the most effective, low-risk tools for managing prolapse symptoms is a pessary—a small medical device worn inside the vagina to support the pelvic organs. For many patients, it provides immediate comfort, improves daily function, and opens the door to more comfortable exercise and long-term pelvic floor healing.

What Is a Pessary?

A pessary is a soft, silicone device available in many shapes and sizes. Think of it as an internal brace: it lifts and supports the bladder, uterus, or rectum depending on where your prolapse is occurring. A well-fitted pessary should feel comfortable, secure, and unnoticeable during your daily activities.

At Inland Pelvic Health, pessary fittings are performed by trained pelvic specialists who take the time to understand your symptoms, goals, and comfort preferences.

When Is a Pessary Helpful?

A pessary may be a good option if you’re experiencing:

• A sensation of pelvic pressure or heaviness

• A vaginal bulge

• Difficulty with exercise due to prolapse symptoms

• Mild to moderate bladder leakage

• Prolapse symptoms during pregnancy or postpartum

• Desire to avoid or delay surgery

Many patients choose a pessary as part of a broader treatment plan that includes pelvic therapy, strengthening, and lifestyle strategies.

What to Expect During a Pessary Fitting

Your fitting at Inland Pelvic Health is gentle, collaborative, and designed to empower you with confidence.

1. Assessment & Education

We start by listening—your symptoms, birth history, medical history, and daily concerns matter. Then we perform a comfortable internal exam to assess your prolapse, pelvic floor strength, and tissue health.

2. Guided Fitting

Based on your exam and your goals, your therapist will select a few pessary options to try. Together you’ll assess comfort, support, and the ability to move naturally. You’ll never feel rushed, and your voice leads the process.

3. Training & Follow-Up Care

If you choose to move forward with a pessary, we’ll teach you:

• How to insert and remove it if you want to be independent

• How to care for the pessary and your vaginal tissues

• When to wear it (daily, during exercise, or as needed)

• How pelvic therapy complements pessary use

Your follow-up visits ensure everything still feels right and that you’re progressing toward symptom relief and long-term pelvic health.
