‘It’s like having a ticking bomb inside you’- woman who has a vaginal mesh implant

Wicklow mother of two Lorraine used to be the “go-go” girl bursting with life, as she says herself. That was before she was operated on for a prolapsed vaginal wall and stress urinary incontinence.

Over the last two years, the 49-year-old’s life has dramatically changed. Relying on painkillers and sleeping pills, she has been left with pain, trauma and neglect after a vaginal mesh implant.
