What should I do if I can’t get my uresta® pessary out?
If you have difficulty removing your uresta® pessary, do not panic. Take a deep breath and relax your muscles. Try bearing down as if you were trying to move your bowels. This should move it down to a point where you can grasp the handle and remove it. You may need to bear down several times. Keep your fingers on the handle when you relax between efforts to bear down. You can also try inserting a finger beside your uresta® pessary or rocking it back and forth to break the suction. Then, grasp the handle and pull downwards to remove it. You will not harm yourself if you cannot remove your uresta® pessary. It can be removed by a healthcare professional.
