Vaginal Pessary Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product Type (Vaginal Ring, Gehrung, Gellhorn, Cube, Others) By Disease Indication (Pelvic Organ Prolapse, Urinary Incontinence), By End-user (Hospital Pharmacy, Retail Pharmacy, Online Stores, Others), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

A vaginal pessary is a medical device, inserted in the vagina to support pelvic organs such as uterus, vagina, bladder, or rectum to deliver medications. There are various types of vaginal pessaries available in the market, such as vaginal rings, gellhorn, cubes, gehrung, and others. Pessaries are used in the non- surgical approach in the treatment of the pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence. In pelvic organ prolapse, the tissues and muscles supporting the pelvic organs become weak or loose. This allows the pelvic organs (the bladder, uterus, small intestine, part of the vagina, and rectum) to protrude into or at times out of the vagina. There is a gradual shift towards the use of vaginal rings over vaginal mesh among women for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse, which is positively impacting the vaginal pessary industry.
