Learn Why Pelvic Mesh is Scary for Some Patients

Pelvic mesh is supposed to improve the quality of your life and help you recover from the pelvic organ prolapse or stress urinary incontinence that was interfering with your day to day activities.

Yet, for some patients the surgery that they hoped would help them turned into a nightmare.

For them, pelvic mesh is scary and it is important for patients considering pelvic mesh operations to understand the side effects of the transvaginal mesh operation. Side effects of vaginal mesh that can be frightening include:

• Infections.
• Bleeding.
• Vaginal wall scarring or narrowing of the vaginal walls.
• Urinary problems.
• Pain.
• Recurrence of the pelvic organ prolapse or urinary incontinence that led to the implant in the first place.

If you suffer from pelvic organ prolapse or stress urinary incontinence then please talk to your surgeon about your options, about the risks, and about the symptoms of side effects that should cause you to seek medical treatment after surgery.
