Frequently Asked Questions About Pessary Fitting
What can a pessary help with?
A pessary is great for managing pelvic organ prolapse or stress incontinence. It can also provide extra support after having a baby or following pelvic surgery, helping you feel more comfortable and confident in your daily life.
Will the fitting hurt?
Not at all! Most women find the fitting process straightforward and comfortable. We take our time to ensure the pessary feels right for you, and we’ll always check in to make sure you’re at ease.
How do I look after my pessary?
Don’t worry—it’s simpler than you might think. We’ll show you exactly how to clean and care for your pessary, so it stays comfortable and effective.
Can I still exercise with a pessary?
Absolutely! Many women say their pessary lets them enjoy activities like walking, running, and yoga with less worry and more comfort.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed to book a pessary fitting with us. If you’re claiming through private health insurance, though, it’s a good idea to double-check with your provider.
How often do I need to replace or refit my pessary?
It varies from person to person, but a good rule of thumb is to come in for a check-up every 6 to 12 months to make sure everything’s still working well.
Can I take the pessary out myself?
Yes! If you feel comfortable, we’ll teach you how to remove and reinsert your pessary. Many women find it gives them more flexibility and control.
Is it covered by private health insurance?
Many health funds cover pessary fittings as part of physiotherapy. It’s best to check with your provider to see what’s included in your plan.
