Vaginal Mesh Claims

Vaginal mesh or TVT (transvaginal tape) are mesh implants used for those that have urinary stress incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse in women after giving birth.

These types of mesh implants have been heavily used in surgery across the UK due to them being considered a less invasive procedure with less recovery time for the patient.

Vaginal Mesh Surgery Complications

There has been a recent increase in the number of women that have reported a complication with their vaginal mesh or TVT implant after undergoing surgery. These complications include:

• Pain in the pelvic area
• Incontinence
• Mesh erosion/protrusion
• Perforation
• Irregular vaginal bleeding
• Infection
• Bladder/bowel problems or changes
• Sexual issues including pain
• Pain in the buttocks or legs

In some cases, the bladder, bowels or urethra have been damaged by the mesh surgery. And as a result of this, it may be necessary to have the mesh and tape removed.
