Symptoms of pelvic mesh problems

The symptoms of pelvic mesh problems can be wide-ranging and can leave patients with complications for a long time, and in some cases, indefinitely.

In many cases, it’s only possible to remove part of the ineffective mesh device, and in other cases, it cannot be removed at all. However, even when it can be removed, women can be left with severe complications from nerve damage and scarring caused by the mesh.

It’s therefore important to recognise the symptoms associated with vaginal mesh problems, and it’s also important to know your legal rights.

What are the symptoms of pelvic mesh problems?

The symptoms of pelvic mesh problems can be wide-ranging and can be severe. Women have described the pain symptoms as stabbing pains, where it feels like you’re being jabbed with needles or glass. Others have described burning sensations, and the feeling of the pelvis being on fire.

The severity of the pain can have an impact on every aspect of a person’s life. It can stop you working, enjoying your hobbies, and can ruin people’s sex lives. The associated mobility problems where pain is more severe when moving can leave some women needing regular rests and needing to stay still as often as possible.

What can you do about the symptoms of pelvic mesh problems?

The severity of the symptoms of pelvic mesh problems can completely turn people’s lives upside down and can change the whole dynamics of relationships and families.

That’s why it’s important to know what you can do if you ever suffer problems, and where you can turn to.

We’re not medical experts, so make sure you seek appropriate help from your doctor and consultants. When it comes to what you can do from a legal perspective, that’s where we come in.

You can be entitled to make a claim for mesh injury compensation, and we may be able to represent you for a case on a No Win, No Fee basis. We can’t turn back the clock,  and we can’t do anything about the regrets you may have for undergoing the procedure in the first place. What we can do is fight for your rights to compensation which can act as some form of redress for what you have to suffer with.

You may be able to claim for the pain, suffering and loss of further treatment, more surgery, and where mesh implants cannot be fully removed. Where it can be removed, you may be able to claim for any permanent or long-term suffering from things like nerve damage and scarring as well.
