Pelvic Floor Repair/ Chronic Itching

I haven’t had that type of surgery, but wanted to add that if you rule out yeast, bacteria and allergic reaction, you might consider nerve damage causing it. I’ve had intense itching before with no apparent cause and read that nerves can cause severe itching. There are meds for it and you could explore the med to bring you some relief. Hopefully, you will find a remedy.

Did the doctor give you a card of what the mesh was made of? Do you think you might be allergic to it? I have a polyurethane allergy and it is in everything.

Had a rectocle 2 years ago and still in so much pain, when lying down at night I have now got Restless Legs, pain in my lower back and pelvis. Weird looking bowel movement and frothy wee. Never had this befor the op. Put me on all sorts of meds and now anti depressants due to not getting any sleep. I have never been depressed before, now going for an MRI. Hope this solves the problem once and for all.

You know....that was one of my first thoughts. Because the itching is in a few areas that make no sense. I mentioned again to my internist last week and she said probably more of an allergy. But...if it's allergic reaction the only way to get rid of it is to have the mesh removed. I don't think I want to go thru that process. If it is nerve damage...perhaps it will burn itself out. I'll check with the OB/GYN to see what he would prescribe.
