After giving birth some women experience a weakening in the vaginal wall that leads to on going health issues. These issues can become worse with time and lead to substantial and continual pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Explore our FAQ to get the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions about Transvaginal Mesh
What are transvaginal mesh implants, and why are they problematic?
Transvaginal mesh implants are medical devices used primarily to treat pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence in women. However, these devices have been linked to significant complications, including mesh erosion, organ perforation, chronic pain, infections, and urinary problems. These issues arise from the mesh becoming intertwined with surrounding tissues or breaking down, often requiring additional surgeries to remove or correct the mesh.
How do I know if my health issues are related to a transvaginal mesh implant?
If you have a transvaginal mesh implant and are experiencing symptoms such as persistent pelvic or groin pain, bleeding, discomfort during intercourse, or recurrent infections, these may be signs of mesh complications. It is crucial to consult with a medical professional for an accurate diagnosis, which can include physical examinations, imaging tests, and reviewing your medical history related to the mesh implant.
What steps should I take if I believe my injuries are due to transvaginal mesh?
First, ensure that all your medical concerns and treatments are well-documented by your healthcare provider. Gather any relevant medical records and document your symptoms and any related treatments. Then, consult with a personal injury attorney who specializes in medical device litigation, particularly with cases involving transvaginal mesh. They can evaluate your case, help determine the link between your symptoms and the mesh, and advise on the best legal steps to take.
Am I eligible to file a lawsuit for my injuries from transvaginal mesh?
Eligibility for filing a lawsuit depends on several factors, including the severity of your complications, the timing of your implant and the onset of symptoms, and the specifics of your medical records. Generally, if your complications can be directly linked to the mesh, you may have grounds for a claim. A personal injury attorney can provide a thorough assessment based on the details of your case.
What type of compensation can I receive in a lawsuit for transvaginal mesh injuries?
Compensation in transvaginal mesh lawsuits can cover a wide range of damages, including medical expenses for treatments and surgeries related to mesh complications, pain and suffering, lost wages if you’ve been unable to work, and potentially punitive damages if the mesh was defectively designed or improperly marketed. The specifics of the compensation will depend on the extent of your injuries and the impact on your quality of life.
