It is found that obstetric pessary significantly improves the quality of life of patients at threatened miscarriage, preterm labor and sharply reduces pregnancy failures. Women with multifetal pregnancy and the cervical length of 25 mm or less have a risk of obstetric pessary surpassing the efficiency of vaginal progesterone by 53 % in labor prevention 34 weeks earlier the specified term and by 34 % - at term before 37 weeks. Serious perinatal complications were several times lower when the pessary was used in comparison with progesterone.
