Can polypropylene cause immune system problems?
Implanted polypropylene mesh (PP) in a large subset of patients causes a chronic foreign body reaction (FBR). The tissues around the implant are damaged by the oxidation process used by the body to try rid the body of the biomaterial that is not being accepted by the patients' body.
The degradation products of the oxidation are free hydroxyl radicals. The oxidation process degrades the PP and it can become brittle, shrink and have brittle edges fragment and migrate in the patient. Patients experience mesh migration, erosions, extrusions, chronic infections and many symptoms of Implant Syndrome. A simple explanation would be to compare this process as to how a splinter festers and gets moved out of the body. Chemical irritation added to mechanical irritation sets the body up for a state of constant inflammation. The immune system is constantly trying to attack the foreign body, as well as infections safely encapsulated with the mesh implant that cells trying to attack the bacteria cannot penetrate because of encapsulation or small mesh fiber size the cells cannot enter. States of chronic inflammation are associated with autoimmune disease pathogenisis, and cancer. A lack of long term studies regarding the systemic response of PP mesh degradation has left patients to research and share their health status with each other. Many report they have been diagnosed with Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Fibromyalgia post mesh implantation. Many report developing Asthma post mesh implantation, and those with pre-existing autoimmune diseases before PP mesh implantation find their autoimmune disease symptoms exacerbated post mesh PP implantation.
What body system rids the body of nitrogen-containing wastes?
The Urinary System rids the body of nitrogen-containing waste (urea, uric acid, and ammonia), which result from the breakdown of proteins and nucleic acids by the body's cells. It also maintains water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance of blood.

What is the trigone of bladder explain clinical significance of it?
The trigone is a smooth triangular region of the internal urinary bladder formed by the two ureteral orifices and the internal urethral orifice. The area is very sensitive to expansion and once stretched to a certain degree, the urinary bladder signals the brain of its need to empty. The signals become stronger as the bladder continues to fill.
Is the bladder medial or lateral to the body?
The bladder is a medial structure. It's found in the midline of the body.
aside from the pelvis which is the bone supporting your genital region and connecting your legs to your torso then no. The anus is a collection of nerves and muscles.

What is the cause of a clear yellowish color urine and slight pressure in your lower abdomen?
It sounds as though your bladder is full. What colour is your urine normally?
The urethra, just like men do.
Obviously you are a male asking this question. The answer is simple. Hidden by the vulva, a woman has a urethra the same as a man does, it just isn't visible from the outside. And just for your information.. because it is where it is a woman does/should wipe after urinating.
What are the nitrogen-containing waste product filtered out of the blood in the kidneys called?
It is called urea
What is the cause of urinary dribling?
Possibly an enlarged prostrate gland.
See your doctor.
That depends if you are male or female. The following link may help:

Is it ok to urinate in a river?
I would advise against it:
- You add waste to the water which could cause people and animals to become sick
- If the river is part of your area's drinking water, you could end up drinking your own urine eventually
- If you live in South America, you could be attacked by a Candiru fish which will swim up your urethra and get stuck (look it up)
What is it when you pee and there is little blood and it hurts and you have to pee a lot?
See a doctor immediately
This could be any number of things, from an STD to various urinary tract diseases. Blood in either urine or stool can indicate a serious problem, and there is no way to tell without tests.
You may be having your first menstrual period. If that is the case, there is nothing to worry about, it is just a sign of growing up.
If you already have regular periods and know that this is not usual for you - see a doctor immediately. See the answer for guys above - the same goes for you.
Why does your urine curve when you pee?
Same reason the flow of water from a hose curves, or liquid poured from a pitcher or a bottle. Same reason a thrown ball makes an arc, and an arrow fired from a bow. You have some forward thrust behind it, stronger than the downward pull of gravity. After a little while the momentum weakens, and then the pull of gravity is stronger. This makes a curve. If it happened all at once, you'd see a right angle--a square corner where the horizontal push stopped and the downward pull began. That would really look funny.
