Extended Pessary Interval for Care (EPIC Study)

Extended Pessary Interval for Care (EPIC Study): Patient Preference for 3 Verus 6 Month Follow-up

Objectives: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common condition for which pessaries are commonly used in conservative treatment. Despite their prevalence, there is no literature to guide the management of pessaries. Our objective is to determine whether patients managed with a pessary for POP are more satisfied with follow-up at 3 or 6 month intervals and if there is any difference in complications rates between the two groups. Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that there will be higher patient satisfaction in the group randomized to 6 month follow-up intervals and that there will be no difference in complication rates between the two follow-up groups. Method: The investigators will conduct a prospective randomized control trial comparing patient satisfaction and complication rates between patients with pessaries randomized to either 3 or 6 month follow-up intervals over 1 year.
