pessary

This term is a specialized medical noun used primarily in gynecological and urological contexts. It carries a clinical, neutral tone and is used by healthcare providers and patients to describe a specific prosthetic intervention for pelvic floor disorders.

Because it refers to a physical medical device, it is treated as a standard countable noun. It is typically paired with verbs like insert, remove, or fit, and is often specified by its material, such as a silicone pessary.
