| Overall ranking | 22 |
| JLA question ID | 0054/22 |
| Explanatory note | Many women have an anatomical prolapse which is not bothersome, nor causes any symptoms. A pessary as a supportive device might be used with early stages of prolapse to reduce the risk of the prolapse getting worse. Research could identify when a pessary might be used in this way, and if followed up in the long term might help us know whether some symptomatic prolapses are preventable. |
