Can you feel your pessary ? Please tell me whether what I feel is normal!
I have a grade 2 rectocele and a grade 1 cystocele. 7 months PP and have been in PFPT since 4 months PP. Symptoms are vaginal bulging, heaviness and pelvic pain.
Today I had a ring pessary fitted and I’m struggling to know if it’s the “right” fit. I am very sensitive to new sensations and I can feel “something” there, but I’m not in specific pain from it or anything. Perhaps the feeling is more akin to some internal pressure, but nothing’s rubbing - it’s more like an inflated balloon inside me.
When people are saying they feel nothing with it in (beyond their improved prolapse symptoms), is it actually nothing? Like you can’t tell the difference between wearing and not wearing it (if ignoring your actual prolapse symptoms)?
Wondering if I’m just being a bit sensitive! I can probably get used to this feeling with time, but do I have to? My GP (UK based) was not that helpful when answering my questions today. Thanks!
