Comprehensive Pessary Fitting Service for Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Expert Assessment and Fitting – by our UK-Qualified Specialist.
Pelvic organ prolapse can affect every aspect of a woman’s life — from physical comfort and mobility to self-esteem and confidence. At Wolds Holistic Health, women are offered a professional, compassionate, and clinically advanced pessary fitting service, led by Helena, a senior pelvic health physiotherapist with full UK competencies in pessary care.
Helena is fully trained, experienced, and insured to assess, fit, and manage a range of vaginal pessaries used in the UK. Her service provides a safe, non-surgical option for managing prolapse symptoms, with personalised care that focuses on the whole woman — not just the diagnosis.
What is a pessary?
A pessary is a small medical-grade device worn inside the vagina to support the pelvic organs. It can reduce or eliminate symptoms such as:
• Vaginal heaviness, pressure, or bulging
• Urinary leakage, urgency, or difficulty emptying
• Discomfort with movement, lifting, or intimacy
• A sense of pelvic instability or “something not being right”
Pessaries are suitable for women seeking alternatives to surgery, those waiting for surgical intervention, or anyone looking to regain confidence and comfort while continuing pelvic floor rehabilitation.
What does the service include?
The comprehensive pessary service at Wolds Holistic Health is tailored to the individual and includes:
• A detailed pelvic health consultation, including symptom review, lifestyle impact, and personal goals
• A full pelvic floor and vaginal examination, including prolapse type and grading
• Fitting and trial of a range of pessaries available in the UK, including:
ring, ring with support, shaatz, donut, gellhorn, cube, shelf and inflatable pessaries
• Full education on pessary use, care, hygiene, and self-management if appropriate
• Guidance on pelvic floor exercises and long-term strategies for prolapse management
• Follow-up reviews to monitor fit, comfort, safety, and effectiveness
• Liaison with GPs or specialists if needed
All assessments are carried out in a private, supportive setting, with time for women to ask questions and feel empowered.
Who is this service for?
This service is ideal for women who:
• Have been diagnosed with pelvic organ prolapse
• Are experiencing symptoms such as pressure, leaking, or bulging
• Prefer a non-surgical management option
• Are waiting for or recovering from surgery
• Are postnatal or menopausal and looking for gentle support
• Have tried pessaries in the past but found them uncomfortable or ineffective
Helena frequently sees women who have been told “nothing more can be done” — and offers a fresh, personalised, and skilled approach to restoring comfort and function.
