Pelvic health, explained認識盆底健康
A small support that can make a real difference. 細小的支撐，帶來實在的改變。
A pessary is a soft, removable silicone device worn inside the vagina to hold pelvic organs gently in place — and for many women, a way to ease symptoms without surgery. 子宮托是一種柔軟、可取出的矽膠裝置，配戴於陰道內，溫和地承托盆腔器官。對許多女性而言，它是緩解症狀而毋須手術的選擇。
The basics基本認識
What is a pessary?甚麼是子宮托？
A pessary is a flexible device, usually made of medical-grade silicone, that sits inside the vagina and supports organs that have begun to drop from their normal position — the uterus, the vaginal walls, the bladder or the bowel. It works a little like a quiet internal scaffold, taking the pressure off tissues that have weakened. 子宮托是一種具彈性的裝置，通常由醫療級矽膠製成，置於陰道內，承托開始下移的器官——包括子宮、陰道壁、膀胱或腸道。它的作用就像一個安靜的內部支架，為已鬆弛的組織分擔壓力。
Pessaries come in many shapes and sizes because bodies and symptoms differ. They are reusable, made without natural rubber latex, and designed for use by a single person. Most importantly, a pessary is fitted by a clinician: the right shape and size are chosen for your body, not bought off a shelf. 子宮托有多種形狀和尺寸，因為每個人的身體和症狀都不相同。它可重複使用、不含天然乳膠，並設計為單一使用者專用。最重要的是，子宮托須由醫護人員配戴——合適的形狀和尺寸是為您的身體挑選的，而非隨意選購。
Education, not a diagnosis資訊參考，並非診斷 This site explains how pessaries work in general terms. It is not a substitute for an examination. A doctor or nurse can tell you whether a pessary suits your situation. 本網站以一般方式說明子宮托的運作，並不能取代臨床檢查。醫生或護士才能判斷子宮托是否適合您的情況。

It can reduce the dragging, heaviness or leaking that make standing, walking or exercise uncomfortable.有助減輕下墜感、壓力感或漏尿，讓站立、步行或運動更為舒適。

It can be removed, cleaned and replaced — and simply stopped if it no longer suits you.可取出、清潔後再放回；若不再合適，亦可隨時停止使用。
Suitability適用情況
Who it is usually for通常適合誰
Pessaries are most often used for mild to moderate prolapse — the kind that causes a feeling of pressure or something coming down, especially later in the day or during activity. They are also used to help with stress urinary incontinence, the leaking that can happen when you cough, sneeze or lift. 子宮托最常用於輕度至中度脫垂——即出現壓力感或有物下墜的感覺，尤其在一天較後時間或活動時更明顯。它亦可用於改善壓力性尿失禁，即咳嗽、打噴嚏或提重物時出現的漏尿。
When a pessary is not suitable不適合使用的情況 A pessary should not be used during an active genital or pelvic infection, and it relies on regular care and follow-up. A clinician will also check there is no visible damage to the device before it is used. If you are unsure, ask first. 在生殖道或盆腔急性感染期間不應使用子宮托；它亦需要定期護理和覆診。醫護人員在使用前會檢查裝置有否明顯損壞。如有疑問，請先諮詢。
