Complications With Transvaginal Mesh Implants

Transvaginal mesh is a medical device made of synthetic net-like fiber that provides extra support to repair weakened or damaged internal tissue. It is known as 'transvaginal' mesh as it is implanted in a surgical procedure via the vagina. The mesh has holes in it to allow the body’s own tissues to grow into the mesh. It is intended to be permanent and may not be able to be removed if complications arise.

Complications of transvaginal mesh implant

Many women, who have undergone transvaginal mesh implant, face a number of mild to severe side effects and complications. These complications may range from mild discomfort to debilitating pain, including the ones below:

• Irregular vaginal bleeding or discharge
• Pelvic pain or swelling
• Discomfort during sex
• Bladder and bowel problems like infection and incontinence
• Prickling feeling or sharp stabbing pain in the vagina, which may become worse with exercise
• Abdominal, buttock or leg pain

The lawsuit and eligibility

Transvaginal mesh lawsuits are basically products liability lawsuits. The eligibility depends on gross negligence during the implant surgery or medical malpractice at some point, while the real problem is with the implant itself.

If you or anyone you know had faced complications post transvaginal mesh surgery, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit for compensation from the manufacturer.
