An exploration of sexual and relational impacts of transvaginal mesh injury: a systematic review using thematic synthesis
Listen to this summary
This systematic review aims to explore the sexual and relational impacts of transvaginal mesh injury on women, an area that has been under-researched despite the significant disruptions reported by patients. The authors synthesized data from nine reports, identifying seven key themes related to changes in sexual functioning, relationship satisfaction, and personal identity due to chronic pain from mesh injury. The findings highlight the need for further research to inform psychological interventions for affected women.
