Gellhorn Pessary

A Gellhorn pessary is a medical device used to support and manage pelvic organ prolapse, where organs like the bladder or uterus drop into the vaginal area. Made of flexible silicone, it is inserted into the vagina to lift and hold the organs in proper position, helping reduce symptoms like pressure or discomfort. It is often used as a non-surgical option for women who want relief without surgery or before considering surgical procedures. Proper fitting and maintenance by a healthcare provider are essential for comfort and effectiveness.
