FAQ / Women's Health
Frequently asked.
Answers to the questions clinical buyers and care teams ask most about this product category.
What is a pessary used for?
Pessaries are removable silicone devices placed in the vagina to support pelvic organs that have descended due to prolapse. They provide a non-surgical option for pelvic organ prolapse and some types of stress urinary incontinence.
How often should a pessary be removed and cleaned?
Cleaning frequency varies by pessary type and patient capability — from daily to monthly. Your clinician will provide a specific schedule. Regular follow-up is essential for continued safe use.
Can a pessary be worn during sex?
Ring pessaries can often remain in place during sexual activity; other shapes (Gellhorn, cube, donut) typically must be removed. Discuss specifics with your clinician based on your pessary type.
Is a pessary covered by insurance?
Most pessaries are covered under medical benefits with appropriate diagnosis codes. Fitting visits are billed as office procedures. Confirm specifics with your payer.
