A pessary comprising a main stem and an inflatable bladder disposed about
the proximal larger diameter section of the main stem. The main stem
further comprises a distal smaller diameter portion having a cap at its
distal tip and a check valve disposed there under. The check valve
communicates with a central fluid passage that may extend into the
proximal larger diameter section of the main stem. Secondary fluid
passages connect the central fluid passage to the inflatable bladder
volume disposed about the outer circumference of the proximal larger
diameter section of the main stem. The main stem provides support to the
pelvic structures and the inflatable bladder acts to hold the device in
position. At least one void through the proximal larger diameter portion
of the main stem allows bodily material to pass from the vagina through
the pessary device thereby decreasing the amount of vaginal discharge.
