Waking daily to a surge of pain, and facing cramping pain each and every time I urinate or turn in bed, or climb stairs or drive a car or just put my left foot down on the pavement, I recall how I was told a “ribbon” was being put in to resolve prolapse and incontinence on coughing.

While there are numerous implications of bad mesh surgery by the NHS; some women are probably like my wife who has difficulty in addressing some of the more personal things like our sex life.
