Assessing and treating problems caused by vaginal mesh

Mesh has been used in some prolapse and incontinence operations. In some women, it can cause pain, erosion through the vaginal wall, infection, bleeding or problems with sex. Treatment ranges from medicine and physiotherapy to partial or full removal.

Mesh complications can be distressing, and many women feel they have not been listened to. Your symptoms will be taken seriously.

Dr Jasdev assesses your symptoms and scans carefully and explains realistic goals for treatment.

01

Symptoms understood first

Leaking, bulging or discomfort is assessed carefully, including how much it affects your daily life.

02

Simpler options considered too

Pelvic floor exercises, physiotherapy and other treatments without surgery are discussed alongside operations.

03

Recovery planned in advance

You will know what to expect after the procedure and when your review is due.

What mesh assessment and treatment may offer

  • A careful assessment of the mesh position and your symptoms
  • Options from simple treatment to removal
  • Honest guidance on the risks and likely benefits of surgery

How your care is planned

Each stage is explained so you understand the cause of your symptoms, your options and what recovery involves. You can take time to decide.

01

Review your previous surgery and symptoms

02

Examine and scan to locate the mesh

03

Agree treatment, which may include partial or full removal

How treatment works

Small exposures can sometimes be treated with vaginal oestrogen or a minor procedure to trim the mesh. Pain or larger problems may need partial or full removal, through the vagina or by keyhole surgery. Complex cases may involve other specialists.

Who may benefit

Women with pain, bleeding, discharge, pain during sex or mesh felt in the vagina after mesh surgery for prolapse or incontinence. It also helps women who are unsure whether their symptoms are linked to mesh at all.

What to expect

Your first visit reviews your previous operation and symptoms. Scans may be arranged to locate the mesh. You will discuss the options, including what removal can and cannot achieve. Removing mesh does not always relieve pain completely, so goals are agreed before surgery. Physiotherapy and pain management may be part of the plan.
