What is prolapse?
The pelvic floor is supposed to act like a hammock, holding everything up.
Sometimes the pelvic floor can weaken and cause prolapse, when the pelvic organs (like the bladder, rectum, uterus, or vagina) shift downward. This can cause an uncomfortable feeling of pressure.
And a pessary?
A pessary is like a little shelf for your pelvic floor – a low risk, non-surgical option that offers support when you need it.
It is placed in the vagina to support the pelvic organs and give you immediate relief. It sits in a similar spot as a tampon and enables you to move freely throughout your day!
A TALE AS OLD AS TIME
The idea of a pessary isn’t new. Women have sought relief for prolapse for thousands of years. In fact, the first recorded pessary was a pomegranate, referenced by Hippocrates in 400 BCE.
Prolapse & pessaries
At Reia, we believe modern women deserve a modern pessary.
We’re done with the 30s – that’s the 1930s when the “current” Gellhorn pessary was invented. On to the (20)20s!
