I am 56 years old with cystocele (PROLAPSED BLADDER) I am not
incontinent, but can feel and see bladder at my vaginal entrance.
NOT FUN. I did get fit for a pessary, but little to no information
from the docotor on how to use it etc. I am postmenopausal, thus
a more dry thin walled vagina. Since estrogen cream is so expensive
if you do not have insurance, it was not suggested that I use estrogen first to prepare my vaginal walls. WRONG..... First uses were disaster!!!! Pain - bleeding ...A JOKE REALLY....My thoughts were "THIS IS ALL THEY HAVE TO OFFER A WOMAN"?!!!! I knew then that it is truly a man's world. A man on the moon, space stations, mars explorations, vagina on a man, penis on a woman , and this is all that is offer medically for women!!!!!
Well after use (a must) of estogen cream, i tried again.... Lying down like in the doctors office to insert and remove.. OUCH...BIRTHING THE FRIZBIE....Or the dog chew toy, as my neighbor longingly refers to my pessary.
Then i could not reach the little device inside me.... great... so i used a crocet hook to fish out the little booger!!!! SCARY!!!!!!! No one talks about this stuff. THE REALITY OF USE OF A PESSARY !!
So once again I tried...
Estrogen Creme a must.
I tied tampon strings together , secured it to one of the holes, so i could find my pessary, and give it a pull to remove.
It works best if you get on your hands and knees to insert and remove (if you can)., so your bladder and organs are fallen back
into their correct positions, and you are not fighting against gravity.
Insert some gel before removal, and it makes removal alot easier.
During urination, pull tampon string to the side.
During defication(pooping) pull it foward. Make sure you take things
to avoid constipation, because this device presses again your rectum, slowing things down. Also giving you consistant feelings of having to poop.
I removal mine every few days, clean pessary and string with hot soapy water. Peroxide also if you wish.
Then use your estrogen creme with no pessary in, for full absorbtion into your vaginal walls.
If you do not like the side effects of estrogen creme, use just a half
a gram, twice a week then you should not get hot sweats, goopy vagina, moody etc.(My personal opinion..experience.NOT MEDICAL ADVICE.)
Well I hope this information will be useful to you ladies....Good luck
HAPPY KEIGELS.......
