Hi. I am DESPERATE!  I need advice on pros & cons of treatments to manage a female bladder prolapse, preferably without surgery. I have been considering a Pessary Ring but would like to hear from other users about their experiences. 

Can you feel it after it has been fitted?

Has anyone ever accidentally pushed one out?

If so, under what circumstances?

Does anyone have experience of long term use?

Has anyone had any adverse reactions?

Has anyone had any treatment abroad?

Has anyone had any experience of Kegel8 pelvic muscle exercisers?

Does anyone out there have an alternative solution?

    My bladder prolapse was stage 5, which is the worst. I had tried the pessary. Took several tries to get the right fit. It did make the back pain I was having go away. But I didn't like the thought of something like that. It didn't fall out, but you really have to try several to get the right fit. It wasn't for me, but surgery is a big deal too. I think it's good to try, if you don't like it, then you know surgergy for you or not. I used one for two months, then I left it out a month before my surgery, I thought it would be better for me to let things calm down there.
