'Thousands' of women suffering after vaginal mesh surgery 'disregarded' say campaigners | ITV News

"Thousands" of women have been ignored despite suffering pain and complications after having vaginal mesh surgery, campaigners say.
Guidance from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice), published on Tuesday, recognises there is “public concern about the use of mesh procedures”.
There is “some evidence of benefit” for using surgery - including mesh - to manage stress urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse, it said.
However, there is “limited evidence” on the long-term harms.
