A member asked:
I had inguinal hernia surgery 2 weeks ago, the incision has healed over now but there is a very small loop of mesh sticking out. what can i do??

You have to see the: If mesh is sticking out , immediately you must bring to the attention of surgeon. Exposed mesh tend to get infected , then mesh has to be taken out , then only the wound will heal. Call your surgeon
