Thousands Affected by Vaginal Mesh Implant Side Effects
By Christina Drury
Vaginal mesh implant attorneys are concerned that there is a possibility that women who have suffered a transvaginal implant failure could number in the thousands. Products such as vaginal sling, tape and bladder sling implants have caused severe complications for women all across the U.S. These vaginal mesh implants were designed to help women suffering from stress urinary incontinence and/or pelvic organ prolapse, but have instead resulted in hundreds of reports of serious injuries and painful side effects.FDA Reports Vaginal Mesh Implant Failures Causing Serious Complications
The FDA has reported that faulty vaginal mesh implants are causing a variety of serious complications that have caused many women to needlessly suffer. These complications may lead to several corrective surgeries in order to reverse the damage the transvaginal mesh implant has caused. Transvaginal mesh, tape and bladder sling implants that fail may cause the following symptoms and side effects:
* Continuous Urinary Tract Infections
* Injury to Nearby Organs
* Mesh Erosion Through the Vagina (Mesh Protrudes Outside the Vaginal Wall)
* Organ Perforation
* Pain During Sexual Intercourse (Caused by Erosion)
* Severe Pelvic Pain
* Urinary Problems
* Vaginal Bleeding
* Vaginal Infections
The FDA issued a public health alert in 2008 outlining that serious complications associated with vaginal mesh implants may occur, but that they were rare. However, in 2011, the FDA revised their warning stating that these serious complications were not rare and ordered vaginal mesh implant manufacturers to conduct safety studies on their products.
