. The diagnosis and treatment of diseases of women. ce. Just before introducing it, the patient should take theknee-chest posture for a few minutes. Then lying on her back or side she intro-duces the pessary, which has been previously cleansed and lubricated. Whencoitus is desired, the pessary may be taken out in the evening and left out untilmorning. If desired a loop of strong string may be attached to the pessary tofacilitate its removal. If the pessary becomes deflated, it may be reinflated witha hypodermic syringe, the needle being introduced through the thick spot designedfor that purpose. A pessary of about this form is made of hard rubber (Fig. 460, C) and is used inthe same way. It does not become deflated and is less likely to accumulate in-crustation and irritate the vaginal w^all. It is unyielding, however, and for thatreason is more likely to produce painful pressure at some point. Also a smallersize must be used, for this pessary cannot be compressed, as the inflated rubberpessary can, to pass the vaginal orifice. .j^*4.\.
