Pelvic health is a vital, often overlooked part of overall well-being—especially for women navigating pelvic organ prolapse (POP) or urinary incontinence. If you’re exploring non-surgical options for relief, a pessary might be just what you need.



What Is a Pessary?

A pessary is a small, soft device inserted into the vagina to provide gentle internal support. It helps reposition and support pelvic organs, easing the pressure and discomfort caused by POP and reducing bladder leaks associated with incontinence. It’s safe, removable, and a go-to solution for many women seeking a non-invasive alternative to surgery.

Add Vaginal Estrogen for Enhanced Comfort

Vaginal estrogen therapy is a low-dose, localized hormone treatment delivered via cream, tablet, or ring. It’s applied directly to the vaginal area, and when combined with a pessary, the results can be transformative.

Why Combine Them?

Vaginal estrogen helps by:

• Keeping tissues soft, elastic, and resilient, which reduces the risk of friction or irritation from the pessary.
• Decreasing discharge, dryness, and inflammation, making day-to-day wear far more comfortable.
• Preventing minor pessary-related injuries due to thinning vaginal walls—a common concern post-menopause.

Because it’s local and low-dose, vaginal estrogen carries minimal systemic side effects, making it a safe option even for long-term use in most women.

The Bottom Line

When used together, pessaries and vaginal estrogen do more than just manage symptoms—they support the structure, health, and comfort of your pelvic region. That means:

• More confidence
• Greater comfort during movement and intimacy
• Better bladder control
• And less worry about irritation or complications
