WHAT ARE THE COMPLICATIONS FROM VAGINAL MESH?
There have been significant reports around the country of major issues that women experience from their implanted mesh, including:
- Mesh erosion, in which the mesh is exposed and cuts through the wall of the vagina or other organs
- Pain
- Vaginal scarring/shrinkage from scar tissue
- Vaginal shortening, tightening, or pain from mesh contraction
- Pain during intercourse
- Urinary problems
- Infection
- Recurrence of prolapse
Most of these complications will require multiple surgeries to attempt to correct or minimize the symptoms. In many cases the mesh cannot be removed and even if it is, ongoing life-altering problems still continue.
WHAT CAN I DO IF I HAVE VAGINAL MESH?
- Continue with your annual and routine checkups with your doctor if you are having no problems.

- Tell your doctor at once if you develop symptoms such as persistent vaginal bleeding or discharge, pelvic or groin pain, pain with sex or any other unusual pain.
- Let every doctor know that you have surgical mesh so they can take necessary precautions.
