How a  Silicone Ring Pessary  Works

 silicone pessary ring is one of those helpful medical supportive devices that is utilized basically for the management of pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence. This is how it works:

Pressure Redistribution:
This, in turn distributes the pressure of the pelvic organs and gives a stable base hence relieving discomfort and the pressures on the pelvic floor and other related tissues.
Ease of Mobility:

Supporting Pelvic Organs:
The ring is placed inside the vagina and rests against the vaginal walls. It supports pelvic organs, like the bladder, uterus, and rectum, preventing them from slipping any further into the vaginal canal.

Ease of Mobility:
For female incontinence patients, using the pessary supports the bladder and urethra so as to minimize involuntary leakage through activities like coughing or sneezing.

Comfort and Mobility:
A pessary is supposed to be comfortable, but a fitting one would allow a woman the ease of moving about such an active lifestyle free of the discomfort or embarrassment that the symptoms of prolapse may manifest
