Prolapsed Uterus Other Therapy

If a woman does not want surgery or is a poor candidate for surgery, she may decide to wear a supportive device, called a pessary, in the vaginal canal to support the falling uterus.

Also, pessaries can be irritating inside the vagina and may cause a foul-smelling discharge.
