Different Types of Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Pelvic Organ Prolapse - What is it?

Symptoms of Pelvic Floor Prolapse

• Feelings of heaviness
• feelings of pressure
• feelings of the bottom is dropping out
• feelings that your insides are dropping out
• pulling sensations
• achiness in the pelvic area
• sever prolapse ( organs can bulge into the walls of the vagina and protrude through your vaginal opening.

(resulting from weak, stretched out or damaged of muscles or ligaments that would normally support your organs)

What Can I do about Pelvic Organ Prolapse?

First and For most See your Doctor ( gynecologist or OBGYN )

You will want to see a doctor who is familiar with pelvic organ prolapse. This condition can worsen over time if you do not do anything about it. Always seek a second opinion as well. Specifically when it comes to surgery.

Most often, physical therapy and a pessary (a removable ringlike device that is removable) can completely solve the issue.

For some women, surgery is the most effective treatment.

How to Prevent Pelvic Floor Problems:

• Keep your pelvic floor muscles in shape
• Lose excess weight
• avoid constipation and straining with bowel movements
• avoid heavy lifting
• get chronic coughs with allergies under control
• after pregnancy and deliver, (watch out for signs, to start an early rehab to prevent complications down the road)
• tighten pelvic muscles before sneezing, lifting or jumping and hold the muscles until you are finished.
• Kegel exercises are extremely effective

Vaginal Mesh Update

Transvaginal Mesh problems
My experience is similar to this one....from the male point of view.


For years, Mary Ann McCloskey didn’t know what was wrong with her. It was as if her internal organs were revolting against her body. She endured pain, internal bleeding, and multiple surgeries. Her quality of life plummeted. It wasn’t until February 2010, that Mary Ann discovered her problem wasn’t a medical mystery, but was likely caused by the transvaginal mesh surgically implanted in her pelvis during a medical procedure she received in 2006. The surgical mesh had eroded into her vaginal wall, causing pain and severe complications.
Mary Ann is suing C.R. Bard, manufacturer of the Bard pelvi soft acellular collagen biomesh, claiming her injuries are a result of the mesh. Not only has she suffered physically, Mary Ann claims she lost her normal life, incurred medical costs and suffered an impairment to her earning capacity.
Mary Ann is just one of thousands of women who have reported experiencing problems after receiving transvaginal mesh. The mesh is used to repair pelvic floor disorders including pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and urinary incontinence. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received more than 1,500 reports of problems associated with POP repair between 2008 and 2010 – five times as many as the agency received between 2005 and 2007.
An FDA advisory panel recently conducted a safety review of transvaginal mesh used for POP and urinary incontinence (where it is commonly referred to as a bladder sling).
Despite pressure from consumer groups to ban the mesh for such purposes, the panel ultimately decided that any other mesh products for POP or incontinence repair be tested before they are approved for use. The FDA is not required to follow the advice of its advisory panels, but it usually does. The agency has yet to offer a recommendation on transvaginal mesh.

Vaginal Mesh fda and Dr.Michael Hulse georgia

this is latest update from FDA. Any doctor who recommends using this mesh in your body should be crossed off your list of reputable doctors, in my opinion.  My fiancee had this surgery done by Dr. Michael Hulse of Falany and Hulse Womens' Center of Canton Ga in May of 2011 and has been suffering from complications ever since.

Per the Food and Drug Administration:

=== === === FDA NEWS RELEASE === === ===
For Release at 12 p.m. on July 13, 2011
From: Karen Riley
FDA: Surgical placement of mesh to repair pelvic organ prolapse poses risks.
Agency says other options may expose women to less risk than transvaginal procedure.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today issued an updated safety communication warning health care providers and patients that surgical placement of mesh through the vagina to repair pelvic organ prolapse may expose patients to greater risk than other surgical options.
The safety communication also says that with the exposure to greater risk comes no evidence of greater clinical benefit such as improved quality of life.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) occurs when the internal structures that support the pelvic organs such as the bladder, uterus and bowel, become so weak or stretched that the organs drop from their normal position and bulge or prolapse into the vagina. While not a life-threatening condition, women withPOP often experience pelvic discomfort, disruption of their sexual, urinary, and defecatory functions, and an overall reduction in their quality of life.
Surgery to repair POP can be performed through the abdomen or transvaginally, through the vagina, using stitches, or with the addition of surgical mesh to reinforce the repair and correct the anatomy.

“There are clear risks associated with the transvaginal placement of mesh to treat POP,” said William Maisel, M.D., M.P.H., deputy director and chief scientist at the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health. “The FDA is asking surgeons to carefully consider all other treatment options and to make sure that their patients are fully informed of potential complications from surgical mesh. Mesh is a permanent implant — complete removal may not be possible and may not result in complete resolution of complications.”

In 2010, there were at least 100,000 POP repairs that used surgical mesh. About 75,000 of these were transvaginal procedures.

The FDA issued a safety communication in 2008 due to increasing concerns about adverse events associated with the transvaginal placement of mesh. Since then, the number of adverse events has continued to climb. From 2008 to 2010, the FDA received 1,503 adverse event reports associated with mesh used for POP repair, five times as many as the agency received from 2005 to 2007. The reports don’t always differentiate between transvaginal and abdominal procedures.
The most frequently reported complications from surgical mesh used to repair POP include mesh becoming exposed or protruding out of the vaginal tissue (erosion), pain, infection, bleeding, pain during sexual intercourse, organ perforation from surgical tools used in the mesh placement procedure, and urinary problems. Some reports cited the need for additional surgeries or hospitalization to treat complications or to remove the mesh.

The FDA also conducted a review of scientific literature published between 1996 and 2010 comparing mesh surgeries to non-mesh surgeries. The agency review suggests that many patients who undergo transvaginal POP repair with mesh are exposed to additional risks, compared to patients who undergo POP repair with stitches alone. While mesh often corrected anatomy, there was no evidence that mesh provided any greater clinical benefit than non-mesh surgeries.

FDA recommends that health care providers:

• Recognize that in most cases, POP can be treated successfully without mesh.
• Know that surgical mesh is a permanent implant that can make any future surgical repairs more challenging and can put the patient at risk for additional complications and surgeries.
• Consider that mesh placed abdominally for POP repair may result in lower rates of mesh complications compared to transvaginal POP surgery with mesh.
• Be sure that patients are aware of the risks and benefits of transvaginal POP repair with mesh, and inform patients if mesh is being used.
• 
  The FDA recommends that patients:
  
  
  • Ask the surgeon before surgery about all POP treatment options, including those that do not involve mesh: understand why the surgeon may be recommending treatment of POP with mesh.
  • Continue with routine check-ups and follow-up care after surgery. Notify the surgeon if complications develop (persistent vaginal bleeding or discharge, pelvic or groin pain during sex).
  • Those who have had POP surgery but don’t know if the surgeon used mesh should find out during their next scheduled visit with their health care provider.
  • The FDA also announced that an outside panel of experts in obstetrics and gynecology will meet on Sept. 8-9, 2011, to discuss the safety and effectiveness of surgical mesh used to treat POP and stress urinary incontinence (SUI), a leakage of urine during physical activity. The panel will discuss the risk of transvaginal POP repair, clinical studies that may be necessary to address risks and benefits of this type of surgery, and FDA’s interim recommendations for health care professionals and patients.
    
    “Input from the clinicians, manufacturers and other experts will help the FDA better understand the safety and effectiveness of surgical mesh for POP and SUI repair, including any changes that would improve our oversight,” Maisel said.
    
    Today’s safety communication is limited to the transvaginal placement of mesh to repair POP. It does not address the safety and effectiveness of mesh used to treat SUI or mesh implanted abdominally.
