"Gynaecology Pessary Clinic"

I have had issues with my prolapse for the past 3 years.  I have been passed pillar to post and ended up with a stage 4 prolapse. I am an elderly woman and felt my quality of life had deteriorated.  I eventually got an appointment to see a gynaecologist after continuous referrals that were marked urgent.

When I arrived for my first appointment at the Pessary clinic, my case was seen and reviewed and I was fitted with a Pessary, however I was advised if I experienced any issues to contact the emergency number.  

The Pessary fitted didn’t hold the prolapse so kept falling out, I called the number and was given an appointment today.  I was seen by staff nurse Wendy. I have never met a more caring nurse.  She was well experienced and spent a lot of time explaining what she was going to do.  She was empathetic and had great duty of care.  

70% of women experience prolapse issues and I feel services should be more available for women in my situation to get the care I received today, without waiting months/years.  I feel this service is valuable and important to women’s health.  I feel more could be done to utilise this service for women in need.
