Pessary Replacement

Ring Pessary Replacement at Ready Health

At Ready Health, we provide replacement services for existing vaginal ring pessaries only – we do not fit new pessaries. It’s essential that you know your current pessary size before your appointment, as we can only replace the same size. Ring pessaries are effective, but they need to be changed every 3–6 months to prevent infection and ensure you remain comfortably fitted.

Although effective, they need to be changed every 4-6 months to avoid infection and to make sure that you’re still fitted with the right size.

What to expect during your replacement

During your appointment, your clinician will discuss your current pessary and any issues you’ve experienced. Once you’re in a comfortable position, a qualified medical professional will carefully remove your existing pessary and replace it with a new one, checking with you throughout the process to ensure it sits correctly. A well-fitted pessary should not be noticeable once in place. The procedure usually takes around 20–30 minutes, and most women experience only mild, brief discomfort. After your replacement, you’ll have the option to schedule your next appointment in advance to make ongoing care simple and convenient.

How often to replace your ring pessary

Most ring pessaries need replacing every 3–6 months, or sooner if you experience discomfort. Our clinicians are available year-round to provide affordable, timely care without long waits, helping you maintain your women’s health safely and comfortably.
