Pessary Insertion Cost in India

The cost of Pessary Insertion in India typically ranges from $500 to $6,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

A vaginal pessary is a soft device placed in the vagina to support a prolapsed womb or vaginal wall. The cost depends on:

• Pessary type: ring or shelf.
• Fittings needed: to find the right size.
• Follow-up changes
• Clinic

Pessary fitting is a short clinic procedure. A quote near this range is unusual, so ask what it includes.

Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust says a pessary can be an alternative to surgery, can control symptoms while waiting for surgery, or can be used when surgery may not be safe.

The Oxford leaflet explains fitting takes about 30 seconds after an examination, and you then walk for 15 to 20 minutes to check it is comfortable. Pessaries are usually changed every six months. Ring pessaries can be self-managed and allow sex. Shelf pessaries cannot.

Report difficulty passing urine, smelly discharge, bleeding or the pessary falling out. Bleeding may come from rubbing, and vaginal oestrogen may be recommended to protect the tissue.
