has anyone out there has surgery for prolapse womb/ incontenance and had the contraversial mesh used? i had surgery 8 years ago for prolapse and past year have had real problems with discharge, bleeding and pain. i had 3 surgeries because the doctors thought i had polyps, but it turns out that the mesh has eroded and is protruding the vaginal wall causing tissue growth. ive only found out today so have lots more research to do but is like to get some advice from anyone who has suffered the same type of problems xx
