Vaginal Mesh Sling

I know it's not the best topic, but since I am experiencing this, I thought it was important to share with others who may be or know someone who is, experiencing the same thing.

Symptoms of Vaginal Sling Side Effects

The use of bladder slings and vaginal mesh systems have caused a number of troubling problems for patients, prompting the FDA to issue a public health notification in 2008. The FDA notice warned of potential vaginal mesh complications, including infection, urinary problems, recurrence of prolapse or incontinence and mesh erosion, which may develop following mesh surgery. Signs which may indicate vaginal mesh side effects include the following:

• Vaginal infections
• Bleeding
• Vaginal discharge
• Pain during sex
• Lower backache
• Difficult bowel movements
• A feeling of something protruding from the vagina
• Bladder outlet obstruction

A recurring feeling of fullness or pressure in the lower abdomen and recurrence of prolapsed organs may also indicate that the condition, which the vaginal mesh intended to treat, has returned.
