What is recommended if the uresta® pessary is not helping my patient?
If the uresta® pessary was previously working to stop unwanted urine loss but no longer seems to be doing so, advise your patient to check its positioning. It may have moved down and out of position with a bowel movement. A change in size may be needed. Advise your patient that she may need to come in to be checked for a bladder infection if she is experiencing a burning sensation when she urinates and / or if she has to go to the bathroom more frequently than usual.
