Event Description

Doctor (urogyn) in (b)(6) said i needed to have a hysterectomy, sacrocolpopexy with mesh and mid-urethral sling. My one and only complaint was a bulge in anterior compartment which didn't hurt. I also didn't have sui. Doctor insisted i have the above major surgery to correct the problem. I continually asked about the dangers of mesh. His answer was this is the new mesh, if i use vaginal estrogen i won't have any problems. After surgery (b)(6), i had to go to the er when my bladder locked up due to the j&j mid -urethral sling. Urge incontinence was terrible after the implant. I had to have sacrocolpopexy mesh (coloplast restorelle) removed after 9 months due to pain in vagina and i had pain that was in my upper vagina and rectum. I believed that was due to healing. But on (b)(6) 2018 i had to go to the er because my bladder locked up. This continued to happen if i didn't go to the bathroom often. I went in for my post op check in (b)(6). Doctor said "my vagina looked so good no one would ever know i had children". I was cleared to have intercourse. I tried several days later and it was excruciating. I couldn't have penetrating intercourse. I went to see my ob/gyn about the problem. They gave me estrogen and said vagina was very tight. Even after the estrogen, i couldn't have sex. The pain in my vagina had become like a mini jackhammer beating in me. My rectal pain was terrible if i would stand for too long. I started looking for a doctor to remove the mesh. No doctor in (b)(6) can do a complete mesh removal, so i looked out of state. I visited a doctor in (b)(6) first. Second opinion in (b)(6). Both doctors said i was having some kind of an adverse reaction to the mesh. I decided to have it removed in (b)(6). This was on (b)(6) 2018. It was a 9 hour surgery and 3 day hospital stay. I can send all my records from surgeries.
