Vaginal pessary is a well-established pelvic organ prolapse (POP) treatment, but little evidence about long-term use is available. Our aim was to report the duration of use and investigate predictors of long-term pessary use for POP. We hypothesized that younger, healthier women and women who experienced complications would have shorter duration of use.
