Nancy, My name is Cindy. I, too, have been diagnosed with erosion of the mesh into my urethra. This was a very large erosion. My doctor recently removed the mesh associated with the erosing and then used my own flesh to repair the damage. I had originally had surgery in 2000 to correct herniated colon, vaginal wall, and had my bladder lifted up with mesh to correct the incontinence I was experiencing. I have known for seven years that something was desperately wrong. Every doctor I went to ignored the blood in my urine, ignored the white cell count and continued to tell me that I had bacterial vaginosis. This had ruin my sex life for the last seven years. I was finally referred to a uro/gyn in Tulsa at OU Medical Clinic. My doctor's name is Sprydion Marinis. He is a blessed man who gave a crap about my discomfort.
Please do not allow this to go on. Your body poisons itself when urine leaks into other areas of your body. While I still suffer from the mesh, and will have another surgery in March to correct my bladder AGAIN, I feel very confident that Dr. Marinis, has the ability and the courage to continue this feat.
My email address is bcprox@gmail.com should you have additional questions.
Thanks,
Cindy
