I am a 79 yr old woman. I now have a vaginal pessary for a prolapsed bladder. I have tried legal excercises, biofeedback, etc. the pessary does work for me but is causing me repeated UTI’s. My dr. Has suggested a surgical procedure that closes off the vagina permanently. I might add that I have a history of C-diff infection x2. So repeated antibiotic is not a good option. I am not really in favor of the forever kind of surgery...are there other options for me? Thank you, Shirley
