Background: Pessaries are commonly used for the management of pelvic organ prolapse. Complications are rare, with major complications usually related to long-term use and neglect. Complications related to short-term pessary use, as well as complications requiring surgical intervention, are even less common.
Case: We present the case of a 58-year-old postmenopausal woman who presented with acute, arterial vaginal bleeding requiring surgical intervention 3 weeks after being fitted for a pessary for management of pelvic organ prolapse.
Conclusion: Severe, short-term complications are rare, but can occur with pessary management of pelvic organ prolapse. To our knowledge, this is the first case to describe an acute arterial hemorrhage requiring surgical intervention following short-term placement of a vaginal pessary.
