i just got a pessary today. I really do not like it but I don't have money for surgery and I am afraid surgery would not work anyways. My doc said he was surprised I would try the pessary. After he put it in he said come back in 3 months! I said I needed him to show me how to remove and put it in myself. I got it out and then he was out the door. The nurse or medical assistant was no help. I managed to get it back in. When I talked to him in his office. he said that if I got it in I did not have to see him in a week. Also said it might fall out during a bowel movement. I was pretty bummed.
After a few hours, i had to go and sure enough out it came! I figured I will try again tomorrow- bought KY jelly for the insert.
I know I have a bad attitude but the whole thing sucks. I am 57 and don't want to have surgery that will not work. Dr is suggesting surgery with vag hyst. This whole thing has me freaked but I am trying to lose weight due to my blood pressure and I want to go back to exercising and am hoping this will help me because I am chafing inside using the treadmill with this bladder almost hanging out.. Don't feel much was explained to me, just getting a push for surgery. nice that he is so confident, but then most doctors have to be. I find most of them to be arrogant. I work in a hospital so I don't like most docs anyways. Figure I will end up with surgery but taking it slow and hoping tomorrow will be better so I can go to the gym. Very depressed and sorry to be such a downer! Good luck everybody!
