Vaginal Mesh Complications: Implants and Their Uses

Vaginal mesh implants are most commonly used for women suffering from prolapse of the pelvic organs, including the bladder or uterus. When the pelvic floor muscles and ligaments are no longer able to support those organs (typically due to weakening from pregnancy and childbirth), the organs slip down and can sometimes enter the vaginal canal. During surgery, physicians use vaginal mesh to help support those organs. However, the FDA has warned that this mesh can cause side effects and complications, referencing thousands of complaints they have received regarding the vaginal mesh complications.

Vaginal Mesh Complications and Side Effects

Some of the most common side effects women are experiencing include pain during sexual intercourse, erosion of the mesh through the vagina, perforation of the organs, urinary issues including incontinence, severe bleeding, and infection. Women often experience recurring prolapse, which requires further surgery, and in some cases surgery must be done to drain abscesses and repair perforated organs. These things can lead to serious reduction in the quality of life for these women, including extraordinary medical costs and loss of wages, along with pain and suffering.

Why Is There a Vaginal Mesh Complications Lawsuit?

Although the FDA has issued a warning about vaginal mesh implants, physicians are still utilizing it and manufacturers are still making it, dooming thousands of women to suffer from vaginal mesh complications. Manufacturers and physicians have ignored warnings, and because many women don’t know the risks of a transvaginal mesh implant, many are still receiving it to help repair pelvic organ prolapse and, in some cases, stress urinary incontinence. Although the mesh hasn’t been banned (yet), it is the responsibility of the manufacturers and physicians to inform women and stop using the treatment to prevent serious and damaging side effects.

Who Qualifies for a Vaginal Mesh Complications Lawsuit?

Any woman who has been treated with a vaginal mesh implant may qualify for a vaginal mesh lawsuit. Even if you haven’t experienced side effects yet, there’s a chance that you will in the near future. If you have already experienced vaginal mesh complications, you will most likely qualify for a lawsuit.

How is Compensation Determined for the Vaginal Mesh Complications Lawsuit?

Several things will be considered when determining the amount of compensation women will receive thanks to a lawsuit.

Also considered will be the past, present, and future medical costs associated with the implant as well as pain and suffering and more. The compensation can be used to help pay those medical costs and cover the loss of wages as well as compensate the pain and suffering.
