ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how women with pelvic organ prolapse feel about managing their own treatment using a vaginal pessary, which is a device inserted into the vagina to support pelvic organs that may be falling out of place. The study aims to understand how comfortable women are with this self-management approach and what factors influence their acceptance of it. The trial is open to women aged 18 and older who need a vaginal pessary for their condition, but those with certain limitations, such as severe physical dependence or cognitive issues, cannot participate.

If you decide to join this study, you’ll be asked to share your thoughts and experiences regarding the use of a vaginal pessary. The information collected will help researchers better understand how to support women in managing their pelvic organ prolapse effectively. This is an important step in improving treatment options and ensuring that women feel empowered in their healthcare decisions.
