Painful intercourse for both / transvaginal mesh

Side Effects of Transvaginal Mesh call 601 212 5433  more info

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the most frequent complications involving vaginal mesh used to repair fallen pelvic organs (pelvic organ prolapse) include protrusion of mesh through the vagina, pain, infection, organ perforation, bleeding, urinary problems and pain during sexual intercourse.
A recently identified additional complication of transvaginal pelvic organ prolapse repair is mesh shrinkage. Published reports link mesh shrinkage or contraction to vaginal tightening and vaginal pain.
Both vaginal mesh shrinkage and mesh erosion or protrusion may cause severe pelvic pain, painful sexual intercourse or even an inability to engage in sexual intercourse.
Any of these problems can have a profound effect on your quality of life. Many mesh complications require additional surgery and hospitalization or even repeated surgeries. And yet, the presence of a surgical mesh implant may make future surgical repairs more challenging, according to the FDA. Medical manufacturers have a duty to make products that are safe and effective when used as directed. When they produce devices that cause injury and scarring, they should be held accountable for the harm they cause.
If you have experienced problems after a vaginal mesh procedure, please understand that you are not alone. The FDA has received nearly 3,000 complaints of complications with vaginal mesh from 2008 through 2010, prompting the government to issue a health warning about transvaginal mesh risks and complications.
