Vaginal Mesh Lawsuits

Women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) may have had these conditions treated by a transvaginal mesh procedure. In this treatment, surgical mesh is implanted transvaginally into the pelvic region to support the organs that have prolapsed, as well as the vaginal walls. Unfortunately, thousands of women have experienced serious vaginal mesh complications that have negatively affected their health and their emotional lives, sometimes permanently.

Transvaginal Mesh Side Effects

The vaginal mesh complications that women have reported are serious medical issues that may require multiple surgeries to correct. Some of them become permanent issues, especially when the mesh cannot be removed. The primary causes of these issues are mesh erosion through the vaginal wall and mesh contraction or shortening. Common vaginal mesh side effects include:

• Bleeding and vaginal scarring
• Infections
• Chronic pain
• Pain during sex
• Problems and pain during urination
• Recurrence of organ prolapse

FDA Transvaginal Mesh Warnings

On July 13, 2011, the most recent FDA transvaginal mesh warning was released, stating that the POP mesh complications described above are not considered rare to the device, and that other treatments for pelvic organ prolapse should be carefully considered by doctors and patients. Transvaginal mesh procedures, according to the FDA, provide no added benefit when compared to other, more traditional POP treatments, yet the risks they present are numerous and unique.
