Why Do I See Them Like Discharge After Urination Post An Abdominal Repair Procedure?
Question: I had an abdominal repair done in 2014 through my groin. I just urinated and when wiping my self there was long strong threads on the toilet tissue. Is it possible for the mesh covering to disintegrate or shred. I am a nervours wreck.(about 8 strands of different lengths) very strong
Brief Answer:
Ultrasound abdomen is required
Detailed Answer:
Hello Ma'am
I can certainly understand your concern
I have worked through your attached query in detail
It's unlikely for the mesh to disintegrate in this way.
It's important to rule out hematuria ( passage of blood in the urine).
I advise you to get an ultrasound abdomen and complete Urinary examination at the earliest to determine further course of action.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you
