HER STORY: Transvaginal Mesh for Prolapse (Interview w/ Kath Sansom of Sling the Mesh)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 авг 2024
- In this interview, journalist Kath Sansom and founder of "Sling the Mesh," shares her personal experiences with mesh implants. Although it was described to her as a simple day procedure for incontinence, it resulted in long-lasting complications and two subsequent surgeries for removal of the mesh.
Kath is a passionate advocate for women to try conservative treatment options (such as women's health physical therapy) FIRST, before surgery. She also advocates for general pelvic health education to start in the school system.

What a great interview! I had problems with the mesh from day one. I had it removed last year and it has been a year of recovery and trauma. Physical therapy was never offered to me. I'm grateful for a successful removal, I know many women aren't as lucky. My new surgeon replaced the mesh with my own tissue and it has been successful. Thank you for this! If one woman is spared it is worth it!
SO glad to hear that you had a successful removal! I just heard (within the last 24 hours!) that the NHS has banned mesh operations -- HUGE! www.bbc.com/news/health-44763673
Hi Kristen, can you please tell us who was the doctor who successfully removed your mash and replace it with your own tissue? It will be greatly appreciated! Thanks
Thank you so very much for this video and informing ones of pelvic floor health. I am 37 and have 2nd degree prolapse of rectum, bladder, and uterus. Had I known prolapse was even a thing I could have started the Physical therapy long ago. I will definitely be spreading the knowledge I have about it. Thank you again!!!
RIGHT? So many women don't even know about prolapse, so how could they expect to avoid it??!!! It's an unfortunate situation, and one that I'm doing my small part to change by getting the word out to a broader audience. Thanks for supporting my channel and spreading the message.
This is so comforting and helpful. I didn’t know about the other options of surgery as my gynaecologist just said (thankfully) that in our country, New Zealand, that the mesh is not available any longer so they offered physical therapy. I am managing it through physical therapy via Brianne (thank you beautiful Brianne) but I feel comforted that if my body gets worse later in life, there are options...
GREAT to hear from you Sheryl, and YES... There are definitely options. Just need to know what to look out for! ;)
10 years of hell extreme pain....like giving childbirth level pain....every day...every time I stand up...-- and no hope of getting better. Mesh surgery has ruined my life. I lost my home, can't walk a block. 9 doctors later, tons of MRIs etc all said it wasn't the surgery--- but then when the class action suits started finally they had to quit denying it was the surgery. RUN Women RUN...DO NOT LET THEM PUT MESH in your body. Can't be removed once organs grow through the mesh.
Shockingly sad.
All for the education starting young as I had noooo idea prolapse existed until I had a problem . Scary.
YES. So many women don't even know about prolapse, so how could they expect to take proper steps to avoid it??!!! We've GOT to start teaching girls/teens/young ladies about this stuff. I'm working with a woman right now who is on board with this as well... hoping to start a program for the younger set. Fingers crossed for this "iron in the fire!"
Wife of Robert Skip Thank you very much for the interview of Kath on mesh and prolapse. i have prolapse and hope to avoid what many women have gone through with a mesh problem.
So glad you watched this important interview! All my best to you.
I wish I had known about prolapse years ago and had some education offered. I was scheduled for surgery with mesh on April 11, my surgeon assured me that the problem with mesh was not the product but unskilled doctors, after countless hours of research I now know better. I cancelled the surgery and am trying to help myself with any programs I can find. I looked for a specialist in pelvic floor health and can't find any near me. I have grade three prolapse off all three organs, I have helped with my symptoms just wish I had some more help.
Bonnie Cannon Hi Bonnie. I have had a rectocele repaired but my uterus is kept in place by my prolapsed bladder. Sounds terrible and at first I was very stressed by this. At first being over a year now. But I had a session with Brianne and we tweaked my self-care (self care has been real and effective for me) and at this stage am just working on strengthening all the support that my body has to give my pelvic floor. I had to learn to relax my pelvic floor first and now Kegals are part of my self care. So is deep core strengthening - correct posture when doing anything - keeping as free from stress as is possible - tweaking my nutrition so that I dont take in too many calories that add to the body fat on on my stomach and put pressure on my pelvic floor. It is a long list but I am finding symptomatic relief in general although I have difficult patches for whatever reason. I didn’t want to self care. Sounds silly doesn’t it but it pushed all my self worth buttons. Now I am slowly working on all these areas (not perfectly) and like I said am having symptomatic relief mostly. I feel tremendously for any woman who has pelvic organ prolapse and when all three are affected it can seem insurmountable. I know it is not good to advise people but I found having a session with Brianne soothing and gave me hope. Whatever you do, my prayers are with you.
Amazing, Sheryl. Wonderful advice and I'm SO GLAD to hear that you're still working on all of these areas!
Bonnie, Sheryl Tunnicliffe gave the PERFECT advice. At this stage (stage 3) conservative management will be mostly about relieving symptoms and preventing progression. My "Lift" pelvic organ support series may still be helpful for you, which you can learn about and sign up for here if you haven't already: femfusionfitness.com/lift-pelvic-organ-support/ and also you might consider getting fitted for a pessary: ruclips.net/video/ifcMe5LjiPk/видео.html
You can have a prolapse repair without mesh. Find another Urogynaecologist if it's not offered. If you do have stage 3 prolapse (sticking out most of the time) exercise will not help. A pessary might though. Modern pessaries can be inserted and removed by you daily. If your doctor says that only with an abdominally inserted mesh (sacrocolpopexy) can they help, then OK because this is different, and often the best option
Some facts:
1. Overall the original TVT (not TOT,TVM, prolapse mesh) is still the best surgical solution for proven stress incontinence, with a cure rate of 80-90%. All women should try conservative treatment first.
2. For stress incontinence pelvic floor exercises help many women, but the majority do not continue with PFE's long term, and most come back asking for a surgical cure.
3. The complications for autologous slings and coposuspension can be considerable too, and the vast majority of sensible caring gynaecologists switched to retropubic TVT's for no other reason than it was the best procedure for their patients.No other reason.
4. Do not believe the media and you tubers as they mix up TVT with other procedures such as TOT, TVTO, TVM which are very different
5. Despite helping many women, surgeons do not routinely use vaginal mesh for prolapse repairs any more, as good native fascial repairs can be as good.
6. Believe a good, reputable, GP recommended urogynaecologist rather than the press, you tube and pressure groups.
Thank you for this video, what about us older women im 65 and have a bladder bowel prolapse, there is no way im having mesh inside me. I have been doing my exersizes and ball and butterfly for about 7 weeks now, not really seen much improvement as yet, is there no hope for us older women
There's always hope! I encourage you to ask your doctor if a pessary would be helpful for you. That can be a good alternative to surgery!
Interesting, but at times it was very difficult to hear what Kath was saying. I agree there should be more awareness for this condition.
Audio quality is always an issue with my interviews... I'm sorry! One day I hope to have more professional recording equipment. Just keep supporting my channel, and hopefully it'll happen! ;)
I had a hysterectomy fourteen years ago. Doctor used new mesh product. He did vaginal, bladder and rectal wall repair. I didn't expect he'd do all that. It was vaginal surgery. I began bleeding blood clots, urinating blocked at times. Emergency room visit after four hours of this. Cystoscopy a day later. Told I have kidney cancer. Urologic surgery says not related. I'm wondering though.
Promise you it's not related at all.
What is done for rectocele? Is it the same procedure?
Infinity Health Pilates I had a rectocele because it was so bad, and they used my own fascia to support the vaginal wall. It has worked so far although I cant lift anything over max 10kg and have to lift very very carefully with full pelvic support as Brianne teaches. I rarely need to lift anything that heavy though. I cant strain going to the toilet and have had to learn to let my body go when I do need to poop. It is so holistic because I have to sit and just be calm (mental and emotional strength to be calm) and the surgery has messed with my bowel so everything is very very slow.
@@brightmeadow820 how are you doing now? not a lot of info out there on peoples experience with their own fascia used in surgery. appreciate any extra info you can give.
I had a hysterectomy and a Burch colposuspention they used sutures I have endometriosis they think I have adhesions. They didnt use mesh but I have chronic nerve pain iam unable to work drive sit walk I have a cystocele and a rectocel I'm finding that my bladder just keeps pressing against my vagina vault . For years I have put pressure on my pelvis I have no idea how to prevent putting pressure on my pelvis can anyone recommend any help .I live in nz
Thank you. So you've had all these problems despite having NO MESH. Shows everyone that not all problems are due to mesh .Find a good urogynaecologist, with the FRCOG,
