Priority 22 from the Pessary use for Prolapse PSP

UNCERTAINTY: Should a young woman with a non-bothersome prolapse be encouraged to use a pessary to prevent future problems? (JLA PSP Priority 22)
Overall ranking 22
JLA question ID 0054/22
Explanatory note Many women have an anatomical prolapse which is not bothersome, nor causes any symptoms. A pessary as a supportive device might be used with early stages of prolapse to reduce the risk of the prolapse getting worse. Research could identify when a pessary might be used in this way, and if followed up in the long term might help us know whether some symptomatic prolapses are preventable.
