I : I am glad that you saw your family doctor. It would be reasonable to consult your gynecologist to evaluate your rectal discomfort. I am sorry that you are going through this.

Specializes in Urogynecology

Urogynecologist: You should seek evaluation by a urogynecologist with experience in performing vaginal mesh revision surgery. However, your other symptoms are not likely related to the mesh. True vaginal mesh complications include pelvic/vaginal pain, vaginal bleeding, pain with sex, difficult or abnormal urination (after placement), groin pain, or other pelvic symptoms.
