A member asked:
How does a doctor find out if i have hernia mesh problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You could: start by listing your symptoms! Usually the mesh "problems" mentioned in those TV Ads re: bringing law suits etc mean FAILURE of the mesh to prevent further hernias and this possibility is USUALLY included with WRITTEN WARNINGS to the patient and are part of the SURGICAL permission forms. The Doctor will review your SYMPTOMS and perform an examination to rule out recurrence/infection etc DrZ
