	Early American Manual Therapy
		Pessaries remain most useful devices in the treatment of many common displacements and to discard their use is to limit one's ability to properly care for many troublesome conditions.
		Pessaries may be used in practically all displacements, but are particularly useful in retro-displacements and in prolapsus, not only of the uterus, but of the vaginal walls as well.
		Stem pessaries are sometimes successfully used in anteflexion, to straighten the cervical canal, and to relieve the accompanying dysmenorrhoea and sterility.

		A vaginal pessary is a supportive device used to support the uterus (uterine prolapse) and/or vaginal walls (cystocele or rectocele), to improve certain types of urinary incontinence, and to aid in bladder emptying.
		A pessary can be used as a temporary measure to provide relief of symptoms while you await surgery or as a permanent alternative if you cannot or do not choose to undergo a surgical procedure.
		The size and type of pessary depends on the degree of prolapse or severity of the vaginal "hernia." Pessary fitting is often a matter of "trial and error." The pessary must fit properly in order to be effective.

	Prolapse and Pessaries: Frequently Asked Questions
		A pessary is a device that is inserted into the vagina to support sagging pelvic organs. By supporting the organs, it relieves the symptoms associated with prolapse.
		Pessaries are usually made of latex or polyvinyl. They come in many shapes. The most common ones are round and resemble a diaphragm, although the rim is firmer and the center is open. They also come in cube, donut and U shapes. A properly fitted pessary should cause no pain or discomfort.
		A pessary cannot cure a prolapse. It merely supports the sagging organs and relieves the symptoms. If the pessary is removed, the organs will sag and the symptoms will return. Surgery is the only cure for prolapse. Many women, however, are unable or unwilling to have surgery to correct their prolapse. For these women, the pessary is an excellent alternative.
