One year length of time is very short term, not long term, when it comes to Uterine prolapse. Uterine prolapse is very common, starting in one's midlife and continuing until death, so on average about 30 years. A woman who uses a pessary for one year may very well stop after that, and then, left with no alternatives, use it on and off. It would be very interesting indeed, to do a long term study of what solutions women use LONG TERM for uterine prolapse.
