What is known from the existing literature about self-management of pessaries for pelvic organ prolapse? A scoping review.

Pessary self-management may offer benefits to some women without increased risk. Some women do not feel willing or able to self-manage their pessary. However, increased support may help women overcome this. Further in-depth exploration of factors which affect women's willingness to self-manage their pessary is indicated to ensure better understanding and support as available for other conditions.
