Pelvic Health Concerns We Investigate & Manage
We do not just provide a quick change; we provide deep, clinical assessments to optimise your daily comfort. Led by top female specialists in Birmingham, we investigate the following:
Routine Pessary Changes (3-6 Months Overdue)
Pessaries must be changed regularly to prevent infection and tissue damage. If you are overdue on the public health waiting list, we provide immediate, seamless changes.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse Symptoms
If you are experiencing a feeling of heaviness, dragging, or a bulge in the vagina, our specialists assess your prolapse degree and ensure your pessary is providing adequate support.
Pessary Discomfort or Falling Out
A pessary should not cause pain or fall out frequently. We evaluate your sizing and can recommend alternative shapes or sizes to fully restore your comfort.
Discharge, Odour, or Bleeding
Unexplained discharge or bleeding with a pessary requires urgent investigation. We thoroughly check your vaginal tissues for ulceration or infection and provide the necessary medical treatment straightaway.
Types Of Pessaries We Work With
Our Birmingham pessary clinic relies on high-precision assessments to ensure you have the exact right fit for your unique anatomy.
Ring Pessary (With or Without Support)
The most common option for mild-to-moderate prolapse is designed to sit comfortably and provide structural support.
Shelf & Gellhorn Pessaries
Used for more advanced prolapse, offering a firmer base of support when a standard ring is no longer effective.
Cube Pessaries
Ideal for severe prolapse or when pelvic floor muscles are very weak; these use suction to stay securely in place.
Specialist Escalation Pathway
If your needs are highly complex, we have a direct escalation pathway to our Consultant Gynaecologist in Birmingham, ensuring your care is completely seamless.
What to Expect at Your Ring Pessary Appointment in Birmingham
Pre-Consultation Preparation
You can book your appointment directly without a GP referral. We advise bringing any previous medical notes regarding your prolapse, your current pessary size (if known), and a list of your current medications.
During the Appointment
Your specialist will take the time to truly understand your symptoms, daily activities, and any specific worries you might have. A thorough, dignified pelvic examination will be conducted, followed immediately by the safe removal, cleaning, or replacement of your pessary.
Comprehensive Evaluation
We believe medical appointments should never feel rushed. Your doctor will evaluate your vaginal tissue health (checking for thinning or irritation) and ensure the fit is perfectly secure.
Treatment Plan
Should your results highlight an area for improvement, such as the need for vaginal oestrogen cream to improve tissue health, we can arrange a private prescription.
Coaching & Specialist Support
We will clearly explain how to care for your pelvic health at home, what signs of infection to watch for, and how to schedule your next routine change so you are never left waiting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Typically, a ring pessary should be changed every 3 to 6 months to prevent infection and protect your vaginal tissues. We will advise you on the exact timeframe for your specific device.
No. You can book an appointment directly with our pessary clinic in Birmingham for immediate care without needing an NHS GP referral.
The procedure should not be painful. You may feel slight pressure during the removal and insertion, but our female specialists are highly trained to ensure the process is as gentle, swift, and comfortable as possible.
Our appointments are completely unhurried. The physical change takes just a few minutes, but we allocate plenty of time to discuss your symptoms, check your tissue health, and answer any questions you have.
You should book an appointment straightaway. Unexplained discharge, odour, or bleeding can indicate an infection or ulceration. We will investigate this immediately and provide the necessary treatment.
Absolutely. We regularly welcome patients who had their initial fitting on the NHS or at another clinic and simply want a faster, more convenient routine change.
If you know your current size, that is brilliant; please bring that information. However, if you do not know it, our doctors will gently measure and determine the exact size you need during your examination.
We work with a comprehensive range of devices, including standard ring pessaries, shelf, Gellhorn, and cube pessaries.
Some patients do self-manage their ring pessaries. However, if you experience pain, difficulty inserting it, bleeding, or if it has been over 6 months since a professional checked your tissue health, you should see our clinicians for a thorough assessment.
