Vaginal Mesh Lawsuit May Be Option For Women Suffering Side Effects

A vaginal mesh lawsuit may be an option for women who suffered complications after being transvaginally implanted with a mesh product in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) or stress urinary incontinence (SUI).  According to reports, more than 650 vaginal mesh lawsuits have been filed, alleging that the products can cause serious and life-altering injuries. If you experienced vaginal mesh complications, such as mesh erosion, following surgery, you may also have legal recourse to seek compensation for damages.

In July 2011, the FDA updated its safety communication regarding vaginal mesh implants to warn doctors and patients that the transvaginal placement of the mesh in the repair of POP may put patients at a greater risk than other surgical options. The statement further clarified that with this greater risk of vaginal mesh complications comes no greater clinical benefit, such as improved quality of life. According to the agency, the announcement was issued to alert the public that the trans vaginal mesh side effects associated with the surgical mesh repair of POP are not rare, as it had initially stated. Vaginal mesh complications that were reported to the FDA included the following: mesh erosion; vaginal scarring/shrinkage; pain; mesh infection; pain during sex; urinary problems; bleeding; organ perforation; and recurrence of prolapse or incontinence. 

If you experienced any of these vaginal mesh complications following surgery to treat POP or SUI, you may have legal recourse. A vaginal mesh lawsuit would allow women experiencing mesh problems the opportunity to seek compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering and other losses resulting from their complications.
