Pessary Fittings at Brisbane Pelvic Physiotherapy

At Brisbane Pelvic Physiotherapy, we can only fit a pessary if the following criteria are met:

1.     You have had a speculum examination and clearance from a GP/ Gynaecologist

2.     You are willing to self-manage your pessary (this means you are willing to take the pessary in and out yourself)

3.     You have been using topical vaginal oestrogen for more than 2 weeks (if post-menopausal)
