Prolapse surgery
I have suffered with uterine prolapse for approximately 4 years and have had a
Gellhorn
pessary
for almost 3 years. Prolapse is now at stage 3 with more and more problems with the pessary, discomfort, burning bladder and infections. It came out so now have a larger pessary.

Pessary
I recently had a
gellhorn
pessary
fitted at the hospital pessary clinic. While it’s stopped the symptoms of cystocele I now get little stinging sensations and a dull lower stomach ache. In the last few days the ache has spread to my groin areas.

Vaginal probiotic- pessary
Hi. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for a vaginal probiotic that is in pessary form rather than oral. My consultant has asked me to take a pessary version as it is more targeted and direct and none of the bacteria is killed along the way in the gut. I can find loads of oral ones online

Lubion and utrogestan
Currently 1dp5dt, have Lubion added in this time. How does everyone space out their progesterone medication? I've been taking utrogestan every 8 hours, (6.30, 2.30 and 10.30) but once adding in the lubion wonder whether I should have a dose of something, whether it be lubion or pessary every 6 hours-so

2DP5DT FET - low sitting cervix when inserting pessaries
Hi all, I’m 2PD5DT on my second FET. I had a successful fresh cycle 4 years ago and have had 1 failed FET since then. Apologies if this is TMI but ive noticed since my transfer i can only insert my pessary so much before i’m ‘stopped’. Can only presume my cervix is sitting low which ive read means

positive pregnancy test - natural !!
I’m in shock. Did a first response test this morning cycle day 23 and it’s positive. I don’t want to allow myself to get excited because of the huge odds of it being genetically abnormal and miscarrying 🙃 especially with the high levels of DNA frag. I’m also worried it’s just going to delay treatment

cyclogest - help! (Used rectally but had to poop within 25-30 mins)
hi ladies, super quick question and sorry for TMI! I’ve used a cyclogest pessary this morning but within 30 mins had a bad tummy so had to go to the loo. Is this long enough for it to have absorbed? (There seemed to be a lot in the toilet) or is it safe to use another one just as a one off? Can

reoccurring thrush on dienogest
Hello everyone, just thought I’d ask for some advice as I’m struggling with reoccurring thrush at the moment and although that doesn’t sound awful, on top of all the other pain it’s the last thing I want. Little bit of back story, I was diagnosed with endo last year. Had a laparoscopy and ablation

Women with POP...have questions
I would like to know how women using a pessary handle their sex life. Do you remove the pessary or are you able to leave it in like using a diaphragm? I read and watched videos by therapist stating there are only certain positions if you have prolapse, I would like real first hand information, of

Rectocele anyone?
I am looking for other women's experiences regarding a rectocele? I was diagnosed around 25 years ago but really had no symptoms until recently. Now I have a feeling of pressure in my rectum most of the time and it's very uncomfortable. I was wondering what measures others have taken ... an operation

Cube pessary disaster
Finally saw an NHS specialist gynae nurse in local hospital this week, having been diagnosed with bladder & bowel prolapses as well as cervical prolapse. After examination she recommended a size 4 cube pessary. To paraphrase - insertion was a struggle (I’m OK with smears, IUD insertion & childbirth)
