Continuous usage of a ring pessary for pelvic organ prolapse may cause a disturbance of intravaginal microbiota and intravaginal mucosal damage.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of self‐replacement versus continuous ring usage, by analysing clinical findings and intravaginal microbiota.
