Vintage London Fluid Pessary
For your consideration:
Vintage British Made "Combination Fluid Pessary" No. 9, Diameter 3 inches.
Falls, inherent weakness of the muscles of the pelvic area, hysteria, violent fits of laughter, straining
of the bowels, abortion, difficult or protracted childbirth and even masturbation were thought to be the
main cause of uterine disorders and is what caused the womb to dislodge.
Rigid pessaries made of vulcanite, coralline or metal were of the type that were used in difficult cases, while
pessaries made of boxwood or of horsehair, covered in India rubber, were commonly used to prop up the pelvic organs.
They were inserted into the vagina and remained there until disintegration or removal.
This rather large and very hard round rubber pessary comes in its original box,
the size of the box is 3 and 3/8 inches by 3 and 3/8 inches.
In excellent condition.
