In the July 13, 2011 announcement, the FDA says the following may be a symptom of a mess complication after it has been implanted through the vagina, called a transvaginal placement:
- Mesh erosion through the vagina (this is also called exposure, extrusion or protrusion)
- Pain
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Pain during sexual intercourse, and pain to your partner’s penis when he contacts the mesh
- Organ perforation
- Urinary problems
- Recurrent prolapse
- Neuro-muscular problems with movement and pain which can result of nerve being severed
- Vaginal scarring and shrinkage
- Mesh contraction or shrinkage
- Emotional problems
Many of these problems have resulted in more surgical intervention and hospitalization. In some cases, women and men have endured a dozen or more surgeries in an attempt to remove the mesh, likened to removing gum from hair and very difficult if not impossible to accomplish, according to most surgeons.
