Surgery is not required, but a pessary is difficult to manage. Hysterectomy can be avoided with what is called a retropubic vaginal and uterine suspension. See a reconstructive pelvic surgeon for consultation. Balance the discomfort with the potential cure of same with appropriate surgical correction.
