Transvaginal Mesh Linked to Neurological Damages - New Studies Reveal

In a recent study, it was found that transvaginal mesh can cause extensive neurological injuries in women. The device has been widely used for treating the conditions like Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) or Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI).

In these disorders, pelvic muscles of the patients become weak or loose. As a result, the organs in the region start compressing the vagina. Women suffering from these issues might find it difficult to control their bladder leading to issues in managing urination. Surgeons implant a small piece of mesh into the region, giving the women control over their bladder and tendency for involuntary urination.


However, these surgical devices have been linked with multiple complications and injuries. Some of them are:

1.      Chronic pain
2.      Adhesion
3.      Mesh migration
4.      Organ perforation
5.      Mesh rejection

These victims require additional surgeries to fix the damages caused by the implant. The medical procedures are expensive as well as risky, and the patients need a substantial number of days to recover.

The neurological injuries and surgical meshes

According to a study, many victims suffer from neurological injuries caused by meshes. The victims suffer from ilioinguinal neuralgia (damage to the ilioinguinal nerve leading to pain in the abdomen), regional pain syndrome, or Pudendal neuralgia (damage to the pudendal nerve). Apart from this, women might also endure the loss of sensation in the vagina and the nearby regions.

Unfortunately, most manufacturers fail to provide sufficient warnings regarding these complications. According to experienced transvaginal mesh lawyers, such negligence on the part of the mesh producers makes them answerable to the victims. The law states that such victims can demand compensation against the injuries suffered by them.
