Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this multicenter observational study is to study self-management of pessary therapy in patients with pelvic organ prolapse.

The primary question it aims to answer is:

• how many patients succeed learning self-management if offered a standardized training?

Secondary outcomes are:

* how many patients are willing to learn self-management?
* what patient factors contribute to successfully learning self-management and willingness to self-manage?
* how satisfied are patients with pessary therapy and self-management?
* the occurrence of side-effects
* continuation and quitting of pessary therapy and self-management
* cross-over to surgery
* number of visits to doctor because of pessary therapy
* healthcare costs

Participants will be asked to fill in questionnaires three times during the study (upon inclusion, 6 weeks and 12 months after starting self-management or after starting pessary therapy with a correctly fitting pessary).

Researchers will compare the self-managing patient to the non-self-managing patients.
