Self-care Pessary Management and Factors Associated With Long-Term Pessary Use
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to compare the outcomes of self-care (SC) versus office-based care (OC) in the long-term management of pessaries for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and to identify factors influencing long-term use. The study found that most patients successfully self-managed their pessaries, with SC users generally being healthier and experiencing fewer complications than OC users, while duration of use was primarily influenced by patient characteristics rather than the management strategy employed.
