Rather than simply stitching tissue of the vaginal wall together, the vaginal mesh is used to keep the organs\u2014namely the urethra, cervix, and rectum\u2014from falling out of place and \u201csagging\u201d inside the body cavity.<\/p><div id=\"glm-mobile-toc-box\" style=\"display: none;\"><\/div>\n<p>In 2010, more than 75,000 women had vaginal mesh surgery to repair pelvic organ prolapse.<\/p>\n<h2>TRANSVAGINAL MESH COMPLICATIONS<\/h2>\n<p>A recent study regarding vaginal meshes published in the New England Journal of Medicine revealed troubling results with these procedures: women who had a transvaginal mesh (TVM) inserted suffered higher rates of serious complications, including bladder perforation and pelvic hemorrhage and an increased number of adverse events after the surgery, such as urinary incontinence and pain during intercourse.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns, \u201cThe most frequent complications included erosion through vaginal epithelium, infection, pain, urinary problems, and recurrence of prolapse and\/or incontinence. There were also reports of bowel, bladder, and blood vessel perforation during insertion. In some cases, vaginal scarring and mesh erosion led to a significant decrease in patient quality of life due to discomfort and pain. If you or a loved one has experienced these complications, it&#8217;s advisable to consult a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terrybryant.com\/personal-injury-lawyer\">personal injury lawyer<\/a> to explore your legal options.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, these problems can result in additional complications, such as the need for a second, \u201crevision surgery,\u201d IV therapy, blood transfusions, and the treatment of hematomas or abscesses.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Update: The FDA issued an urgent safety communication advising patients and their healthcare providers to consider alternatives to transvaginal mesh. The FDA met to discuss a potential ban on the mesh, after receiving more than 3,875 injury reports associated with the mesh, three of which involved fatalities, from 2005 to 2010.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>IS PELVIC ORGAN PROLAPSE COMMON?<\/h2>\n<p>Some estimates suggest that nearly half of all women between the ages of 50 and 79 have some degree of prolapse. The risk that a woman will need a surgical procedure to correct prolapse is about 11%, and about 33% of these women will need a second surgery to correct problems stemming from the condition or initial surgery.<\/p>\n<h2>WHAT CAUSES THIS CONDITION?<\/h2>\n<p>Pelvic organ prolapse is a result of predisposition, race, and injury. Caucasian women are more likely to suffer the condition than African American women, and injury, childbirth, heavy lifting, and even smoking are also contributing factors. If you or a loved one has experienced pelvic organ prolapse due to a birth injury, it&#8217;s essential to consult with a qualified <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terrybryant.com\/houston-medical-malpractice-lawyer\/birth-injury-lawyer\">birth injury lawyer<\/a> to understand your legal rights and options for seeking compensation and justice.<\/p>\n<h2>WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I HAD A PROBLEM WITH A TRANSVAGINAL MESH?<\/h2>\n<p>If you or someone you care about has a transvaginal mesh used to correct pelvic organ prolapse and suffered any of the above symptoms, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terrybryant.com\/\">Terry Bryant law firm<\/a> may be able to help.
