Avaulta Mesh Complications
Pelvic organ prolapse is the slipping forward or downward of the organs, which can cause urinary incontinence and a distressing change in vaginal appearance. Transvaginal meshes are surgically implanted to provide support to this area of the body. Unfortunately, there have been complications with Avaulta and other vaginal meshes that can present as any of the following symptoms:
- Pain and discomfort, especially during sex
- Internal tearing and bleeding
- Injury to the bowel, bladder, and blood vessels
- Infection
- Prolapse returning
The most common cause of these complications is the mesh eroding through the vagina. The treatment options for this situation can be scarce, and some women may end up disfigured from the multiple surgeries.
Avaulta Mesh Lawsuits
There has been support for the FDA to ban Avaulta and other transvaginal meshes, but so far no action has been taken. There have, however, been numerous lawsuits filed by victims of Avaulta vaginal mesh complications to claim compensation for their medical bills, lost wages, and, perhaps most importantly, their pain and suffering.
