A recent article published a story about a woman it called Lana (not her real name, for protection) who received a transvaginal mesh implant to eliminate incontinence problems, which began after she gave birth to a child.
After the device was implanted, Lana ended up suffering worse incontinence and terrible pain during sex.
“I wake up at least twice a night to pee, even if I don’t have anything to drink after dinner,” Lana told the website. “Going to a restaurant is out of the question, or even going to one of the kid’s events is difficult, so there goes my social life.”
Doctors soon discovered that her bladder was out of place, and are attempting to determine if the transvaginal mesh eroded or migrated inside of her.
