United States health officials with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are sending a clear warning to physicians and the general public: pelvic mesh complications and surgical mesh products used to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP), stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and other women’s health conditions are causing serious complications for women – a lot more than previously estimated – and are exposing women to potentially dangerous, life-threatening risks that include everything from bleeding to death. As a result many vicitims are turning to a Surgical mesh attorney and vaginal mesh law suit.
Surgical mesh is a metallic or polymeric screen that is surgically implanted to reinforce and support soft tissue or bone that have weakened. The FDA announced that surgical mesh implants, when used to support reproductive organs, put women at significantly greater risk of transvaginal mesh complications than women who have traditional procedures with stitches. Surgical procedures using mesh can create more problems than benefits for women, the FDA warns.
