(Abstracted from Obstet Gynecol 2020;135:100–105) Vaginal pessaries are recommended often as first-line treatment of pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence, especially for women who do not desire surgery or who are poor surgical candidates. Several studies have shown that pessaries improve symptoms of prolapse, bowel symptoms, body image perception, and overall quality of life.

: The use of a pessary for more than 12 months improves symptoms of prolapse and self perception of body image.
