If you’ve been the recipient of a transvaginal mesh implant, and are experiencing any of the following symptoms, you should contact your doctor/healthcare provider immediately:
- Incontinence problems that persist even after implantation of the mesh
- Feeling a sensation of “pulling” in the abdomen while walking or bending
In some instances, victims have reported that the mesh penetrated the vaginal wall, thus requiring surgery to trim, leading to severe pain, infection, scar tissue and a lack of sensation in the vagina after corrective surgery.
If you’ve been the recipient of a transvaginal mesh implant, and are experiencing any of the following secondary symptoms, the same applies:
- Severe depression linked to problems associated with mesh implants, including lack of intimacy and pain
- Severe anxiety due to persistent incontinence problems
- Personal relationship issues, separation and divorce due to the physical and emotional trauma associated with mesh implants
- Significant decline in quality of life
In all instances outlined above, for very obvious reasons, you may also want to contact a lawyer.
