Abstrakt: Vaginal pessaries are commonly used for uterine prolapse. Long forgotten pessaries get incarcerated in the vagina and may erode in the bladder and rectum. We present a unique case of a 60-year-old female patient who presented with dysuria and urge incontinence. In remote areas, bangles are still used as a pessary, which may present with atypical symptoms due to bladder perforation, encrustation, and Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF). VVF with a long curved tract can heal with prolonged catheterization. To our knowledge, this is the first case of glass bangle pessary being reported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
