Many women, either after childbirth or menopause, suffer from pelvic organ prolapse. A study showed as many as half of all women have POP in their lifetime of who two percent suffers from severe health complications. Often the signs of POP are devastating and needs immediate surgical intervention. In the last decade, the use of bladder slings became very popular as it was easier to conduct and had faster recovery time.

Let's see the major complications one by one:
  • Sling surgery is usually used in women to correct stress incontinence (incontinence is the condition where the patient involuntarily release urine during activities such as laughing or coughing). Unfortunately, the surgery can result in the patient suffering from urge incontinence, or the sudden and controllable need to urinate.
  • One of the most common bladder sling complications is mesh erosion. It is associated with symptoms such as pain, unusual bleeding, yeast infections, pain during sexual intercourse and more. It needs corrective surgery to cure the condition.
  • Infection of the wound or of the urinary tract is a common surgical complication and is generally treated with antibiotics. But if it is left undiagnosed, there is lesser chance of getting cured.
  • Although rare, Fistulas are abnormal openings from the urinary tract into the vagina that develop in some people after the implant surgery. If left untreated, these openings can allow urine to leak out through the vagina.
  • Sometimes the surgical mesh causes the pelvic organs to grow onto each other which causes impair in the organs. It affects the functioning of the bladder, bowel and uterus.
