Retrospective study reveals demographic and health-related factors affecting vaginal pessary choices in women with POP.

The type of vaginal pessary chosen significantly varies based on patients' age, fertility, and employment status.
Between two groups, significant differences were noted in average age (44.9 vs. 75.7 years) and education level (81.9% vs. 25.6%).
Assessment involved a questionnaire to interpret patients' demographic, socioeconomic, and health factors related to pessary selection.
These findings highlight the importance of personalized recommendations for pessary types based on individual patient factors.

Oláh et al. (2025) studied this question.
