Mesh Contraction
Transvaginal mesh contraction or shrinkage refers to situations where part or all of the mesh contracts after being implanted. Mesh contraction can result in severe pelvic pain, painful sexual intercourse, or an inability to engage in sexual intercourse. Symptoms of mesh contraction include vaginal shortening, vaginal tightening, and vaginal pain.
Much like
mesh erosion, when mesh contraction occurs, multiple surgeries may be necessary to fix the issue. According to an Australian study in 2010, even after surgery to correct mesh contraction, a number of women still experienced pain and dyspareunia.
