The goal is to relieve pressure on the bladder and other organs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">However, there are complications related to this treatment. As a result, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2019&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/news-events\/press-announcements\/fda-takes-action-protect-womens-health-orders-manufacturers-surgical-mesh-intended-transvaginal\">banned<\/a>&nbsp;the use of this mesh for treating pelvic organ prolapse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">If you\u2019re a woman who\u2019s had a vaginal mesh procedure and you\u2019re dealing with complications, you may need to have the mesh removed.

The mesh, in turn, becomes exposed or even protrudes through the vagina.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">The erosion may also work its way into nearby organs and tissue like your bladder, rectum, and urethra. This problem isn\u2019t as common as basic erosion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Mesh contraction<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Over time, the mesh can tighten, leading to vaginal shortening, tightening, and intense pain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Signs of problems with your vaginal mesh<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Mesh problems can lead to a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/vaginal-mesh#benefits-and-risks\">variety of related symptoms<\/a>, including:<\/p>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Urinary problems<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Infections, such as recurring urinary tract infections<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Persistent vaginal bleeding<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Painful intercourse<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Irregular vaginal discharge<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Stabbing or pricking sensations in the vagina<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Pelvic organ prolapse that occurs again&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Abdominal pain<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Pain in the buttocks and legs<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Ironically, given that vaginal mesh is used to treat stress incontinence, problems with the mesh can result in incontinence issues.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">We can help with vaginal mesh removal<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">At BostonUrogyn, Dr. Kohli\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonurogyn.com\/services\/vaginal-mesh-complications\">expertise in urogynecology and reconstructive pelvic surgery<\/a>&nbsp;is of great service if you need to have damaged mesh removed.
