Self-care Pessary Management and Factors Associated With Long-Term Pessary Use
Key Points
The aim is to explore how well patients can manage pessaries themselves and what factors influence long-term usage.
Cohort study examining patient self-management of pessaries.
Evaluation of patient characteristics influencing duration of use.
Comparison of management types in relation to usage duration.
Most patients successfully self-managed their pessaries.
Duration of pessary use correlated with specific patient characteristics.
Management type did not significantly impact duration of use.
Abstract
In this cohort, the majority of patients were able to self-manage a pessary. Duration of use was associated with patient characteristics but not with management type.
