Pessary Fittings: COMING SOON
Pessaries are devices that are used to help reduce and manage symptoms of Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP). As you can see, they come in different shapes and sizes as your vaginal canal and type of prolapse you might be experiencing is unique.
Fee for Assessment: $185 ( we direct bill this under Physiotherapy)
Fee for Pessary: $75 (we cannot direct bill for this, but can provide you with a note, and you can try to claim this through your Health Spending Account)
At KAAIAA, our therapists are trained to measure and fit you with the pessary that you would benefit most from. A good fit will ensure reduction in symptoms of heaviness, pressure, bulging, discomfort, so that you can partake in daily activities and exercise. The first appointment involves fitting you, educating about how to remove/insert the pessary, how to clean it, and exercises to help the pelvic floor.
Secondary visits are to ensure the vaginal canal and tissues are healthy, making sure the pessary is a good fit and beyond this, giving you further exercises to ensure your pelvic floor stays healthy. While using a pessary is a good option at reducing your symptoms, we need to ensure the pessary stays a good fit and does not fall out due to weakened muscles, and that you do not develop any further symptoms.
