This is Michael Brady Lynch, lead trial attorney for The Michael Brady Lynch Firm.
Almost every day, I speak with another woman who has experienced devastating complications following the implant of a vaginal mesh or sling. From extreme pain during intercourse to bleeding and infection, the risks of this “product gone wrong” so far outweigh the benefits that it is a travesty that the vaginal mesh was ever approved for use.
The following are among the vaginal mesh complications reported by women who underwent pelvic organ prolapse repair surgery with a trans vaginal mesh:
- Mesh erosion
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Pain during sex
- Urinary problems
- Discomfort
- Vaginal scarring
- Bowel, bladder and blood vessel perforation
The FDA first alerted the public to these trans vaginal mesh problems when it released a safety communication in 2008 regarding the complications associated with the trans vaginal placement of surgical mesh to treat POP and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). In the vaginal mesh complications safety announcement, the agency claimed that in the past three years it had received more than 1000 reports of mesh complications from nine different manufacturers.
