Vaginal mesh campaigners united by 'excruciating pain'

Campaigners united by "excruciating pain" have travelled to London to call for a ban on vaginal mesh implants.

They gathered in Westminster on Wednesday to hear the UK government reject their calls for its use to be halted and a public inquiry held.

Pontypridd MP Owen Smith, who chairs the all party parliamentary group on mesh, has called for a suspension in Wales.

Mother-of-three Karen Preater, from Rhyl, Flintshire, has campaigned for them to be outlawed after saying the mesh ruined her life and left her "aged 40, yet feeling 100".
