Will or can the size of Uresta that I need change over time?
It is common for the size of Uresta you need to change during your lifetime. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as menopause, age, hormonal fluctuations, pregnancy, changes in weight, and changes to pelvic floor strength. The following are indicators of when a larger or smaller size may be required.
Try a smaller size if:
- You are unable to empty your bladder
- It is uncomfortable
Try a larger size if:
- Your bladder leaks aren’t stopping
- Uresta falls down to the opening of your vagina or falls out altogether, or shifts out of place
As a reminder, you’ve found the right size when:
- Your bladder leakage has stopped.
- You are able to empty your bladder without difficulty.
- Uresta fits comfortably and is barely noticeable.
