Usage
Your doctor will begin with an ultrasonic vaginal examination (supine or standing) whether the cervical os is opened or shortened overall. He will also check if there is an infection.
The pessary with the correct size is inserted with the curve upward. Thus, the larger diameter can support the cervix by resting on the sacrum and / or the pelvic floor muscles. The pessary is placed so that the cervix is located in the top ring diameter. A slight swelling (edema) of the cervix may be a desired effect. Possible descensus complaints are resolved immediately after the insertion. If the pessary is inserted with the rim down, it can not provide its supporting effect in an optimal way.
