“…Guidelines on how to fit a pessary, case reports describing rare complications without any literature review and experts’ letters were excluded. From the remaining 41 articles which were considered useful, 13 articles were a review [2, 5, 8–18], and 28 articles were original research articles [3, 4, 6, 7, 19–43]. Only 10 articles [6, 19–21, 25, 27, 32, 34, 35, 41] met the exact criteria of the reviewers’ aim to assess the health-related quality of life in women with pelvic organ prolapse.…”

Pessaries have been used to treat women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) since the beginning of recorded history. This review aims to assess the effect of pessary treatment on the disease-specific, health-related quality of life in women with pelvic organ prolapse. After a Medline search using the Mesh term ‘pessary’ and critical appraisal, 41 articles were selected and used in this review. Pessaries are widely used to treat pelvic organ prolapse. It is minimally invasive and appears to be safe. Although there is evidence that the use of pessaries in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse is effective in alleviating symptoms and that patient satisfaction is high, the follow-up in many published papers is short, and the use of validated urogynaecological questionnaires is limited. Comparison with surgical treatment of pelvic organ prolapse is rare and not assessed in a randomised controlled trial.

Although various materials have been used in previous centuries, modern-day pessaries are made of either silicone or inert plastic.…”

Pelvic organ prolapse is common, with some degree of prolapse seen in up to 50 per cent of parous women, although many are asymptomatic.
