Victims of Transvaginal Mesh Products
Millions of American, Canadian, and European women suffer from painful and embarrassing conditions caused by pelvic organ prolapse (POP) or stress urinary incontinence (SUI). These conditions are caused by weakened or damaged pelvic floor muscles, tissues and ligaments. Thousands of those women have been implanted with transvaginal mesh products to treat these conditions. These women have suffered serious health problems, including painful complications and the recurrence of the conditions the transvaginal mesh was intended to treat, instead of finding a viable solution.
Medical Complications and Causes
Transvaginal mesh products (also called mesh patches, vaginal tape, transoperative tape, bladder slings, vaginal slings or urethral slings) are intended to strengthen and support the urethra. However, many women have complained of serious medical complications resulting from the mesh eroding, releasing toxins and causing infections in the body such as the following:
- Mesh erosion into the vagina, bladder and bowel (or vaginal erosion);
- Severe pain throughout the pelvic area;
- Infections;
- Inflammation
- Bowel, bladder or blood vessel perforation and bleeding;
- Dyspareunia (painful sexual intercourse); and
- Recurrence of stress urinary incontinence.
Medical Warning about Transvaginal Mesh Products
In 2008, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) issued an alert that warned doctors and patients about the more than 1,000 negative reports it had received over a three-year period connected to transvaginal mesh used to treat POP and SUI.
According to the FDA, adverse events have come from nine transvaginal mesh system manufacturers and their products, including the Bard Avaulta Solo, Avaulta Plus and Avaulta Biosynthetic systems. Investigation by the Athens, Georgia-based law firm Blasingame, Burch, Garrard, and Ashley P.C. indicated that manufacturers did not conduct adequate testing of many of these mesh products prior to release on the market.
