I also have read about the mesh deterioration and have seen where lawsuits have been brought against the doctors but I know of no one personally who has experienced this. I share your concern and think a visit to a urologist is the next (however unpleasant)) step. It’s on your mind so I wouldn’t hesitate too long. Of course that’s easy for me to say. Let us know what you decide.

Thank you.... just nervous since I don’t have sex and the area is pretty sensitive... sorry for the graphic language. I’ll try the washed glove and put as much as I can.
Thank you again....

@imallears Yes, I know the next step is to visit a Urologist! I was running out of text space and couldn't finish my thoughts for fear I would lose my entire post, which happens all too frequently with my little cell phone!
I live in a town with not too much access to specialists. I'm 85 years old now, no longer drive, and take our excellent service, Wheels for Wellness, to transport me to out of town medical appointments. I've got so many health problems that I currently have seven specialists for just about every part of my body! Lol. Just this week, my family doctor wanted to send me to yet another necessary specialist, and laughingly said, "But you've got SO many specialists!" I think I have just about every disease on the Mayo Connect discussion list. Lots of autoimmune stuff. Gotta sign off now!
