Tvt sling pain with sex

I had tvt sling put in 10 weeks Ago for sui. The sui is cured. But there is a sharp pain during sex and sometimes my sitting, being position. Or tampons. I felt with my f fingers and it is a hard part, and sharp and very sensitive when I touch it right on the bottom of cervix? Before you enter the soft large part of vagina. Could I be still healing? Could this ever be fixed or am I the 1% who had pain during sex with this device. I am scheduled for a follow up but it's very disappointing.

When you go for your check-up, your physician will find out if the sling is protruding into that area and take care of it.

You may have a mesh exposure or possibly a mesh erosion. I would follow up with the operating surgeon for evaluation. Often this can be improved with a short course of antibiotics and topical estrogen therapy. In less common circumstances the device may need to be removed or revised.

This could be a small erosion, but more likely the sling may be too tight and "bowstringing" This can be revised or even replaced. Yes there is a small percentage of people that have pain, but certainly don't assume you are one without looking at the options and even having a second opinion.

There is a small possibility that there is some erosion of the mesh and it is causing you discomfort. This can usually be fixed by just covering the mesh with the vaginal tissue. I would recommend a good exam to determine what is causing this. Good luck!

Wait a couple of months before you get too discouraged. It may improve. Your doc will be likely have some good ideas

on how to address the problem. He/she knows the procedure used, the type of mesh, and your anatomy, therefore your doc is best suited to help you.
