considering surgery using transvaginal mesh for stress urinary incontinence? The FDA sent out letters to the manufactures of surgical mesh in September of 2011 to determine the safety of using vaginal mesh in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse..kinda like the fox asking the hes what is good for the hens?
The FDA decided NOT to look at the larger kits used for TOT and TVT...hmmm..and to focus its investigation on the use of the smaller slings where 'safety and efficacy' have yet to be determined. After all the big slings have been used in 100's of thousands of women with no complications...yeah.

Now, it appears , that those doctors who were so adamant about the safety of the surgical mesh...
are still advocating use of the mesh IN CERTAIN CASES. Well, I hope you DONT qualify ...and can avoid all the pain with implanting vaginal mesh in your body, and then go through the agony of having it removed..like this ( VERY graphic )

using the transvaginal mesh to correct POP....bladder falling into the vagina...has proven to be a danger to all women who use this process
What is a Transvaginal Mesh?

In short, Transvaginal literally means "through the Vagina"
According to Wikipedia Transvaginal Mesh is meant to treat "stress urinary incontinence", often caused by weak pelvic floor muscles.

Millions of women in the United States suffer from conditions that are caused by the weakening of the pelvic floor muscles. Whether this weakening is caused by childbirth, aging or other causes, it can lead to a variety of serious medical problems. The majority of women who suffer from weakened pelvic floor muscles develop stress urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse. These conditions have affected women for centuries, but new medical advancements are being made all the time. The use of transvaginal mesh seemed promising at first, but it's now clear that this seemingly effective option actually hurts far more than it helps.
