On July 13, 2011, the Federal Drug Administration issued an announcement warning patients and physicians about the dangers of transvaginal mesh (TVM), an medical device implant used to prevent pelvic organ prolapse and also used in connection with various urogynecologic procedures. The FDA continues to receive thousands of reports of serious adverse events from TVM.
Common complications include severe pain sitting or walking, painful sexual intercourse, incontinence and loss of sexual sensation. The symptoms could indicate that you have: mesh erosion, bleeding, infection, shrinkage, inflammation and/or potential damage to nerve endings.
