This woman had to have surgery to improve her sex life. She said that the operation left her vagina with “teeth” that “bit” her partner’s penis.
Theresa Bartram, 50, from the UK, suffered from stress incontinence after giving birth to her only child, sending her confidence in bed plummeting, The Sun newspaper reported.
She went seven years without sex, then had an operation to lift her prolapsed bladder with a plastic mesh sling called a transvaginal tape, which stopped her leaking.
However, back in 2009, she said her vagina almost cut off her partner's penis.
The New York Post says during the surgery, it was discovered that the mesh — which had been fitted too low — had turned hard.
“It felt like razor-sharp teeth, hence why it had ripped a chunk from my boyfriend’s willy,” she said.
The removal of the mesh left her incontinent again.
“I was told this simple procedure would cure my incontinence and give me more confidence on the bedroom, but it has ruined my life,” said Bartram, whose vagina has been left numb.
“It made my vagina deadly and forced me into a life of celibacy. It could have killed me,” she said. “I’m pleased the mesh is gone but it has left my body and my vagina a total mess. I wear padding all the time and sleep on incontinence sheets.”
She has since joined Sling The Mesh, a group that is fighting the controversial medical procedure, which has been suspended in Scotland and is under scrutiny worldwide.
