Pessary Course

The Pessary Course is a specialized educational program designed to teach nurses and other healthcare professionals how to safely and effectively fit, use, and manage pessary devices for women's health. A pessary is a small device that is inserted into the vagina to provide structural support for the pelvic structures. It is usually used to treat conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse, incontinence, and uterine fibroids. The Pessary Course is designed to give professionals the tools they need to accurately assess a woman's medical history and the risks associated with using a pessary device. During the course, participants will receive lectures on anatomy and physiology, instruction on how to measure for the proper size and fit of a pessary, and information on the most appropriate type of pessary for a patient's needs. They will also learn how to troubleshoot any issues that may arise with the use of a pessary and how to properly care for and maintain the device. The goal of the course is to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to provide safe and effective care to women using a pessary device. By taking this course, medical professionals will gain a better understanding of the risks and benefits involved in using pessaries, as well as gain the ability to teach women how to properly use, insert, and maintain their pessary devices.
