I got a pessary ring. The thing does reduce my leaks because some of my retention is from urine staying in the prolapsed area. Push the prolapse forward with the pessary and now my pads are drier in between.
To insert it wash hands, put gel all over it, pinch the ring with the bump toward the top, lay down, take deep breaths, relax, and push it up into the vagina, let go of it. It should stay in place. You should be able to pee.
If it falls out it is too small. If you cannot pee it may be too large unless you have some sort of other obstruction.
You dont need expensive gels. Dollar store KY type gel works just fine for easier insertion for one dollar.
Notify healthcare or take it out before any MRI.
