Health Issues Centre chief executive Danny Vadasz told The Border Mail many women still had questions about mesh products.

Therapeutic Goods Administration last week decided to remove some transvaginal mesh products from the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods.

“We’re particularly concerned about the plight of women living in rural and regional areas because they have so few options,” Mr Vadasz said.

“One of the common experiences women report is going to their doctor and complaining about an adverse outcome and being told ‘You’re imagining it’, or ‘This is just a natural part of ageing’.

“If you’re in a small town and you don’t have an alternative physician to see, then what can you do?”
