Trans Vaginal Mesh Lawyer New Jersey
Transvaginal mesh products are surgically implanted devices which are intended to remedy POP and SUI, both of which are common problems affecting women across the world. POP occurs when internal structures which support pelvic organs, including the bladder, rectum, and uterus, weaken or stretch, causing pelvic organs to drop from their anatomical position. SUI is the leakage of urine during physical activity, such as laughing, running, jumping, coughing, or exercising.
Thousands of women undergo surgery to correct POP and SUI every year, and many of these surgeries involve the use of transvaginal mesh products.
Between January 2008 and December 2010, the FDA received over 2,800 reports of complications associated with transvaginal mesh products. Complications include:
erosion
infection
pain
bleeding
pain during sexual intercourse
perforations of the bowel, bladder or blood vessels
recurrence of POP and SUI
urinary problems
vaginal scarring
vaginal shrinkage
FDA reports include numerous examples of women who experienced horrible side effects after undergoing surgery using transvaginal mesh. Some patients endure months of unnecessary pain that interferes with their daily lives in a profound way. In many cases, the pain is linked to the surgical mesh eroding into the vaginal, bladder, and bowel tissues. Often multiple corrective surgeries or other procedures are required.
