Are Infections And Pain Indicative Of Mesh Rejection By The Body?
I had hernia repair then seromas and then an infection on at home IV antibiotics Have Diahria stomach pain feel sick all the time and my stomach sticks out have wound vac and every day I have low grade fevers always sick to my stomach can this be because it may be due to mesh rejection
usually mesh does not have such thing. pain can be from the nerve damage during the surgery and infection.
if you have a surgical site infection which went deep inside needing vac dressing, then the mesh should come out. other wise it is very difficult to treat the infection keeping the foreign body inside.
good luck
