I got a pessary about 2 months ago. I had a prolapsed uterus. Dr. recommended an Inflatoball type. as opposed to a ring type. I'm 69 and he said its a kinder gentler pessary as it doesn't cause abbrasions as much as other types. At first, although weird ( it has a tube that hangs out of your vagina, and having to pump it up with a little pump apperatus...ick) BUT I really tried to make it work. At first it seemed to do the job, but now I'm having trouble with my BLADDER now coming out of my vagina inspite of the pessary in place... I went back to doc and he said my bladder is "spilling " over ( whatever that means) now I feel just as bad as whenI started this journey. He did not give a suggestion (?) I WILL NOT do surgery and am willing to keep trying but I think my doc just doesn't want to bother with it. He's using the surgery word a lot. I KNOW I can make this work and I've even talked to Naturepath doctors and it really seems like such a fixable problem. As miserable as this is. I cant give up and that probably means changing doctors OR do it the home remedy way with BIG or double tampons. I really can't believe that in 2017 this is all that's offered besides horrible surgery. Seriously try everything short of irreversible surgery.
