A pessary is a removable device that goes in the vagina and acts to almost help lift and support the area to reduce a prolapse. If you know you have a prolapse, there are some cups that are naturally wider and can act as a pessary. It makes sense that people notice a prolapse when wearing a cup because they are naturally paying more attention to down there when utilizing a cup. Add in the hormonal changes of menstruation and our pelvic floors are a little less mobile during that time. It’s also important to know that our cervix naturally goes lower and feels harder during menses. There have been a few cases where people notice a prolapse when wearing a cup. If the time comes that this changes, I will let you know. I’m the nerd that loves to look through research and I gotta tell you, I have not yet found a study that showed bearing down or pulling on a cup or the suction itself it harmful to a prolapse. A study in 2019 showed that menstrual cups are a safe option for menstruation. In general, when used (and removed) correctly, a menstrual cup is safe and will not worsen a prolapse. I want to switch over to a menstrual cup, what do I need to know and where do I start? Will menstrual cups make a prolapse worse? Will a menstrual cup make my prolapse worse?
