Many women who have had a vaginal mesh implanted in the process of treating pelvic organ prolapse have been exposed to severe injuries internally, as well as urinary issues and other complications. As some of these women have turned to vaginal mesh implants to help treat previous complications, it remains to be seen whether these implants have any advantage at all over other treatment options.

Have you or a loved one experienced complications as a result of a vaginal mesh implant?

Vaginal mesh, also known as a bladder sling or pelvic mesh, is a product that often implanted surgically into the vaginal area of a woman to inhibit chances of pelvic organ prolapse or POP. Pelvic organ prolapse affects the womb within the vaginal area, causing it to fall and possibly leading to the slipping of the bowel and bladder. This can, in turn, lead to considerable pressure to the vagina as well as high levels of discomfort, pain and urinary issues.

Vaginal Mesh Complications

In July 2011, the FDA issued a release focusing on the risks of vaginal mesh implants. The statement indicated that the agency had been issued an overwhelming amount of complaints concerning multiple issues related to vaginal mesh implants. In review of the advantages of vaginal mesh implants, the FDA claimed that there looked to be little to no health benefits associated. The agency also warned that the surgical process of vaginal mesh implants would heighten risk of punctured organs.

Some of the common complications associated with vaginal mesh implants include:

  • Urinary Problems

  • Pain During Intercourse

  • Vaginal Scarring

  • Multiple Occurrences of Prolapse

  • Mesh Erosion into the Vagina

  • Perforations within the Bladder, Bowel and Blood Vessels

  • Organ Injuries
