How a pessary is fitted子宮托如何配戴
A pessary is not bought ready to wear. It is fitted by a clinician who finds the right size and shape for you — then teaches you how to live with it.子宮托並非買來即可使用,而是由醫護人員為您找出合適的尺寸與形狀,並指導您日常如何使用。
What the fitting visit involves配戴時的流程
A pelvic examination盆腔檢查
The clinician examines you first to understand the prolapse and estimate a starting size.醫護人員會先為您檢查,了解脫垂情況並估算起始尺寸。
Trying sizes試戴尺寸
Finding the fit usually means trying more than one size. A fitting set helps the clinician narrow it down.尋找合適度通常需試戴多於一款;配戴試套有助醫護人員逐步收窄選擇。
Checking comfort確認舒適度
The right pessary supports without pressing too hard — a fingertip should pass between its edge and the vaginal wall. It should stay put when you stand, sit, squat or bear down.合適的子宮托能承托而不過度壓迫——其邊緣與陰道壁之間應可容一指尖。當您站立、坐下、蹲下或用力時,它應保持位置不移。
Learning to manage it學習自行處理
Many women learn to remove, clean and reinsert their own pessary. Your clinician will show you how and discuss whether estrogen cream or a lubricant would help.許多女性會學習自行取出、清潔及放回子宮托。醫護人員會示範方法,並討論是否需要使用雌激素軟膏或潤滑劑。
Follow-up覆診跟進
An early follow-up checks the fit and your comfort. Regular reviews continue afterwards to keep things working well.早期覆診會檢查合適度與舒適度,其後定期覆檢以確保持續良好運作。
Watch for the first day or two首一兩天請留意 In the first 24–48 hours after a new fitting, tell your doctor about any discomfort, irritation, pressure, unusual sensitivity or discharge. Report anything that doesn't feel right — don't wait. 在新配戴後的 24 至 48 小時內,如出現任何不適、刺激、壓迫、異常敏感或分泌物,請告知醫生。一旦感覺不對勁,請即時求助,切勿拖延。
Caring for your pessary子宮托的護理
Routine cleaning keeps the device comfortable and hygienic. A general routine looks like this — always follow the specific advice your clinician gives you.定期清潔可保持子宮托舒適衞生。一般步驟如下——請始終遵循醫護人員給您的具體指引。
- Remove for cleaning roughly every day or two, depending on the type and your clinician's advice.視乎類型及醫護人員建議,大約每一至兩天取出清潔一次。
- Rinse under warm water (about 20–40°C) for around half a minute.以溫水(約 20–40°C)沖洗約半分鐘。
- Wash gently with a mild, skin-friendly soap, then rinse thoroughly so no soap is left behind.用溫和、親膚的肥皂輕輕清洗,然後徹底沖淨,不留肥皂殘餘。
- Let it air-dry completely before reinserting.待其完全自然風乾後再放回。
- Clean it before the first follow-up visit, and never use a device that looks cracked or discoloured.首次覆診前應先清潔;切勿使用出現裂痕或變色的子宮托。
Many women remove the pessary for sexual activity; ask your clinician what suits your type. If yours contains metal (Gehrung, Hodge or Incontinence Ring), it must be taken out before an MRI, ultrasound or X-ray.許多女性會在性行為時取出子宮托;可向醫護人員了解您所用類型的建議。若您的子宮托含金屬(Gehrung、Hodge 或失禁環),在進行磁力共振、超聲波或 X 光檢查前必須取出。
Where to get one如何取得
Because a pessary must be fitted in person, the right next step is an assessment with a doctor or pelvic-health clinician. If you'd like to be pointed in the right direction, or have a question first, get in touch and we'll help.由於子宮托必須親身配戴,下一步應是由醫生或盆底健康專業人員進行評估。如您希望獲得方向指引,或想先提出問題,歡迎聯絡我們,我們樂意協助。
