Transvaginal pelvic mesh implantation(TVM) is a foreign body implantation operation with intraoperative colonization of vaginal bacteria. However, the vaginal microbiome-host interaction and its influence in the mechanism of mesh exposure after TVM remains unclear. This study will enroll post-TVM patients with and without mesh exposure and use their vaginal swabs to perform TRACE-seq and cytokine analysis. The microbiome-host interactions related with mesh exposure and the changes in protein expression will be analyzed.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Patients with mesh exposure | During the physical examination, a speculum was inserted into the vagina to observe the vaginal epithelium for mesh exposure. If the mesh is seen on surface of the vaginal mucosa, the patient is diagnosed with mesh exposure. | ||
| Patients without mesh exposure | During the physical examination, a speculum was inserted into the vagina to observe the vaginal epithelium for mesh exposure. If the mesh is not seen on surface of the vaginal mucosa, bimanual examination will be performed to confirm no foreign body can be feeled on surface of the vaginal mucosa. Then the patient belong to this group. |

Patients with "III-IV degree uterine/apex/anterior vaginal wall prolapse and I-II degree of posterior vaginal wall prolapse" who agree to be treated by transvaginal pelvic mesh implantation. All surgeries were performed by surgeons with extensive experience in transvaginal mesh implantation (>20 vaginal mesh implantation per year) using macroporous, monofilament, polypropylene mesh.
