FDA Issues Warning for Avaulta and Other Transvaginal Meshes
Avaulta FDA Warning
In October of 2008, the FDA issued a warning for the use of Avaulta and other transvaginal meshes in surgeries treating pelvic organ prolapse (including vaginal prolapse, prolapsed uterus, fallen bladder, and rectocele). The unfortunate truth of the matter is that Avaulta and similar products have caused more serious injuries than the ones they were intended to treat.

There has been a movement to ban these products, but so far Avaulta’s FDA warning is the furthest the government has gone to protect patients from the harmful side effects they cause. Among the issues that the FDA has investigated are:
- Problems urinating
- Pain and discomfort, especially during sex
- Scarring of the vagina
- Inflammation
- Erosion of the mesh through the vaginal wall
- Recurrence of organ prolapse
The sexual dysfunction in particular has caused numerous women emotional and psychological anguish, decreasing their quality of life. Any surgeon who employs the use of Avaulta or any transvaginal mesh should adhere to the FDA Avaulta warning, and the product should function as intended. Unfortunately, many women have required numerous surgeries after their initial transvaginal mesh procedure to fix the new problems it has caused.
