While initially intended to provide support and restore quality of life, many patients experience adverse side effects that can significantly impact their health and well-being. ![](https://www.meshclassaction.co.za/hubfs/pexels-jeshoots-com-147458-576831.jpg)   One of the most common symptoms associated with pelvic mesh complications is chronic pelvic pain. This discomfort can range from mild to severe and often worsens over time. Another frequent issue is pain during intercourse (dyspareunia), which can lead to significant emotional and physical distress.   Additionally, many women report urinary problems, such as difficulty urinating, frequent urinary tract infections, and even incontinence — the very condition the mesh was intended to treat. Mesh erosion, where the material breaks through vaginal tissues, can also cause vaginal bleeding or discharge, as well as discomfort during daily activities.   Other warning signs include bowel problems, such as constipation or rectal pain, and a sense of pressure or bulging in the pelvic region, which may indicate that the mesh has shifted or is failing to provide adequate support.   Women experiencing these symptoms should seek medical attention promptly, as untreated mesh complications can lead to more severe health consequences. Legal action, including class action lawsuits, is available for those affected, helping them seek compensation for their suffering and injuries.   If you or a loved one has suffered adverse complications after receiving a pelvic mesh implant or undergoing revision surgery to remove mesh, contact RH Lawyers as soon as possible by visiting www.meshclassaction.co.za, or via the methods listed below:             Emailing: info@rhlawyers.co.za;           Calling 087 188 2698; or             Sending a please call me or WhatsApp to 062 973 9224 [Pelvic Mesh](https://www.meshclassaction.co.za/library/tag/pelvic-mesh) [Pelvic Organ Prolapse](https://www.meshclassaction.co.za/library/tag/pelvic-organ-prolapse) [Prolapse](https://www.meshclassaction.co.za/library/tag/prolapse) ## Leave a Comment ## Related Posts ### [Sep 18, 2025 1:08:38 PM A Cautionary Tale of Mesh Implant Complications](https://www.meshclassaction.co.za/library/a-cautionary-tale-of-mesh-implant-complications) ### [Apr 2, 2024 1:36:32 PM How Would Complications from A Pelvic Mesh Device Affect My Quality of Life?](https://www.meshclassaction.co.za/library/how-would-complications-from-a-pelvic-mesh-device-affect-my-quality-of-life) ### [Apr 15, 2024 3:57:32 PM What women are claiming for in the J&J and Coloplast Class Action](https://www.meshclassaction.co.za/library/what-women-are-claiming-for-in-the-jj-and-coloplast-class-action) ![Screenshot 2022-02-15 211908](https://www.meshclassaction.co.za/hubfs/Screenshot%202022-02-15%20211908.jpg) RH Lawyers Incorporated  21 West Street, Houghton Estate, Johannesburg, 2198 Tel: 087 188 2698 Email: mesh1@rhlawyers.co.za RH Lawyers © 2026 All rights reserved | [Privacy Policy](https://rhlawyerscoza-my.sharepoint.com/:b:/g/personal/dean_rhlawyers_co_za/ESBHMQ10aL5JiSXZ4DjP6I4BTaLAF9nycFC99EDMrznL7g?e=xj0Xm7) | [Terms of Use](https://rhlawyerscoza-my.sharepoint.com/:b:/g/personal/dean_rhlawyers_co_za/EaeR_XrDVQ1EhTz7HB4TkxsBVJzFKZYxqREabWlZwGqNUw?e=rbPQVw)| Developed by [GiantFocal](https://www.giantfocal.com) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Angelique", "url" : "https://www.meshclassaction.co.za/library/author/angelique" }, "dateModified" : "2024-10-07T13:47:25.322Z", "datePublished" : "2024-10-07T13:37:59.000Z", "headline" : "Common Symptoms Indicating Pelvic Mesh Complications", "image" : [ "https://www.meshclassaction.co.za/hubfs/pexels-jeshoots-com-147458-576831.jpg" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://www.meshclassaction.co.za/library/common-symptoms-indicating-pelvic-mesh-complications", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject" }, "name" : "RH Lawyers Incorporated " } } ```
