How to identify a failed hernia mesh?
Hernia mesh complications are often identified by the following symptoms, depending on the severity of the issue:
• Pain and discomfort: This is the most common complication sometimes accompanied by bruises and swelling. Depending on the type of hernia, pain may occur near the stomach, abdomen, groin, leg, or testicle.
• Bleeding and infection: There can be few infections that are much severe, causing redness and heat feeling around the area of repair. It might also result in an increased risk of seroma indicating severe infection.
• Bowel obstruction: Bowel obstruction is blockage that develops in the large or small intestine, causing difficulty with urinating or defecating.
• Erectile dysfunction: Men with mesh repair for inguinal hernias report erectile dysfunction, loss of sensation and difficulty achieving orgasm.
• Hernia recurrence: Though less likely, but still there are chances that hernia may recur with mesh complications like migration, adhesion, fistula and perforation.
