Can I use the iDish if I am pregnant?
The iDish is not suitable for use during pregnancy. If you are pregnant, we recommend the Ring with Knob instead. However, please speak with your midwife, GP or consultant before using any pelvic floor device to ensure it is appropriate for you.
What is a vaginal pessary and what is it used for?
A vaginal pessary is a removable device placed inside the vagina to support pelvic organs. It is commonly used to treat pelvic organ prolapse (such as cystocele or rectocele) and stress urinary incontinence. Pessaries provide internal support to relieve symptoms and improve comfort without the need for surgery.
Is a pessary a safe alternative to surgery?
Yes, pessaries are considered a safe, conservative, and reversible treatment option for many people with prolapse or stress incontinence. They are often recommended as an alternative to surgery or while waiting for surgical treatment. Modern pessaries are typically made from medical-grade silicone and are designed for long-term use under professional guidance.
How do I know which pessary type and size is right for me?
Choosing the correct type and size is essential for comfort and effectiveness. A healthcare professional, such as a gynaecologist or women’s health physiotherapist, should assess your condition and fit the pessary properly. They can also show you how to insert, remove, and clean it safely.
What makes the iDish with Support different from a standard urethral dish pessary?
The iDish features an enlarged support pilot, providing increased urethral support to help reduce symptoms of stress urinary incontinence.
Can the iDish be used if I also have prolapse?
Yes. It may be used to manage stress incontinence either alone or alongside prolapse symptoms, depending on clinical assessment.
