Pessary Insertion Cost in Gurgaon, India

The cost of pessary insertion in Gurgaon typically ranges from $620 to $6,000 USD (about ₹58,800 to ₹5.69 lakh), depending on the hospital, room category and type of procedure.

A typical estimate for pessary insertion in Gurgaon is around $2,000 (about ₹1.90 lakh). What you pay depends mainly on your own case. If your operation is planned, done by keyhole or a standard method, and you go home after a short stay, your bill is likely to be closer to $620 (about ₹58,800). It is likely to be nearer $6,000 (about ₹5.69 lakh) if you need open or robotic surgery, your condition is more complex, you stay longer or you choose a private room.

When comparing Gurgaon packages for pessary insertion, check whether each quote includes:

• Surgeon and anaesthetist fees
• Operating theatre or procedure room
• Laboratory tests on removed tissue
• Hospital stay and room category
• Medicines and consumables
• Follow-up visits before you fly home

A vaginal pessary is a removable silicone device placed in the vagina to support the womb, bladder or bowel in pelvic organ prolapse, and offers an alternative to surgery.

Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust describes a pessary as an alternative to surgery, a way to control symptoms while waiting for an operation, or an option when surgery may not be safe.

After an examination, fitting takes about 30 seconds, followed by a 15 to 20 minute walk to check comfort.

Pessaries are normally replaced every six months; ring pessaries can be self-managed and allow sex, whereas shelf pessaries do not.

Report trouble passing urine, an unpleasant discharge, bleeding or the pessary coming out, and vaginal oestrogen may be advised to protect the tissue from rubbing.

Flying home: there is no aviation figure for this procedure, so book after the surgeon's review and ask how to lower clot risk on a long flight.

A Gurgaon quote for pessary insertion is normally made up of these items:

• Pre-operative tests: blood work, imaging and an anaesthetic assessment.
• Theatre and anaesthesia charges: mostly set by time in the operating room.
• Consultant fees: which differ from one hospital to the next.
• Type of operation: open, keyhole or robotic where there is a choice.
• Pessary: ring or shelf, and size.
• Fitting appointments: sometimes more than one.
• Changes: normally every six months.
• Vaginal oestrogen: if advised.

This is a short clinic procedure, so a Gurgaon estimate close to the upper figure above would be unusual; ask what the price includes.

Gynaecology services in Gurgaon are provided by multi-speciality and women's hospitals, with keyhole and hysteroscopic surgery widely available.

NABH, the hospital accreditation board of the Quality Council of India whose standards carry ISQua accreditation, sets the national benchmark for hospitals, and its online directory shows whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is still current.

Gurgaon is part of Delhi NCR, where India's first hospital to gain Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation did so in 2005, and JCI publishes a searchable list of the organisations it currently accredits.

Gurgaon sits on the south-western edge of Delhi, a short road transfer from Indira Gandhi International Airport, which is the usual arrival point for international patients.
