I have had ring pessaries fitted for years. My prolapse is a bit worse and today, when I went to have ring pessary changed, nurse suggested a Gelhorn pessary. She is a uro-gyno nurse and brilliant. Really best person to see. She suggested a physio appointment and appointment with a Consultant. Anyone else had one of this type of pessary?

Yes, I have one. My ring pessary started 'turning round' (so was sitting vertically rather than horizontally). I've had no problems with the gelhorn and find it a lot easier to remove and replace myself if necessary.
