Sorry to take so long in replying. I have had great success using a pessary. I went to a urologist and was fitted. I was instructed on putting it in and taking it out and the care needed. Now I go once a year for it to be checked. I am 82 yrs. old and I am very active. I line dance two hours a week and walk a lot. I discussed the use of a pessary with my internist and he agreed with me about talking to a urologist. I have known women who have had surgery for the cystocele and in a few years they have to have it again. I did have a hysterectomy 33 yrs. ago. I know all women are not the same but I think some doctors are too quick to operate. There are many factors to consider.
