Vaginal Mesh Side Effects
Transvaginal Mesh Complications
Transvaginal mesh systems, used to treat pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence, have been associated with a number of serious mesh complications. The FDA released a vaginal mesh warning in 2008 to alert women to these potential vaginal sling complications which may include the following:
- Mesh erosion
- Urinary problems
- Mesh infection
- Recurrence of prolapse or incontinence
- Bladder, bowel and blood vessel perforations
- Discomfort and pain (including pain during sex)
- Vaginal scarring
Have you experienced any of these mesh side effects following surgery for urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse repair?

Vaginal Sling Side Effects: Symptoms and Causes
Mesh erosions and infections caused by implantation with a vaginal mesh may cause a number of symptoms. Depending on the type of mesh complication, the patient may experience vaginal pain, pain during sex, and urinary tract erosion. Extrusion of the surgical mesh from the vagina, vaginal bleeding, bladder infections and vaginal discharge have also been reported of potential signs of vaginal mesh complications.
While the nature of the mesh complications is well-known, the exact cause of vaginal sling problems has yet to be firmly established. It is believed that the surgical mesh interferes with the healing process, as it prevents the surrounding vaginal tissue from receiving oxygen and proper nutrients. This can lead to vaginal mesh complications which may require further surgery.
Trans Vaginal Mesh Lawsuits
Women who have experienced vaginal mesh side effects have the option of participating in a lawsuit to recover compensation for losses resulting from their mesh complications. A trans vaginal mesh lawsuit would allow patients the opportunity to file a claim against the manufacturer to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering and other damages.
