A donut pessary is specifically designed to provide support for pelvic organ prolapse, which can help alleviate symptoms such as urinary incontinence by supporting the pelvic organs and reducing the prolapse. Pelvic floor muscle therapy, neurologic stimulation therapy, and estrogen therapy may offer some benefits but do not directly address the structural support needed in Stage 3 prolapse as effectively as a pessary.
