The Vaginal Mesh Helpline has been the source for women injured by a Prolene mesh device bringing news support, updates and helping women locate a vaginal mesh lawyer and doctor. With women being the target of so many of these dangerous drugs and devices they have expanded their mission to contact and help all women with complications from the Mirena IUD. The device has been shown to have very serious complications including the fact that it may gravitate from position and become embedded in the uterus or a nearby organ, This results in uterine perforation and the Mirena must be surgically removed. The Mirena has the potential of causing permanent injury and become the next pandemic harming women.

The Vaginal mesh Helpline’s new Mirena IUD Helpline has one goal. We want to reach all women with Mirena IUD Injury and help them file a Mirena IUD lawsuit and adverse incident reports with the FDA. Once there is enough a class action lawsuit in the form of a multi district litigation can be formed and the Mirena can move into the same proceeding we see with the vaginal mesh. The mesh lawsuits are in the bellwether trial stages and it is thought settlements will be seen by the end of 2013 or beginning of 2014.

More importantly we must protect women and get justice and send a message to these manufactures.  The Mirena IUD is manufactured by Bayer the same manufacturer of Yaz, Yaz I s now settling for blood clot injury in women. All the mesh manufactures have previous faulty drugs or devices once or still in litigation.

The first round  Mirena IUD  Outreach is  projected reach the following cities within the next few weeks: New York, N.Y., Los Angeles, Calif.,  Chicago, Ill., Houston, Tex., Philadelphia, Pa,. Phoenix, Ariz,. San Antonio, Tex., San Diego, Calif., Dallas, Tex., andSan Jose, Calif.,

The Vaginal Mesh Helpline has been the leading support for women nationwide with vaginal mesh complications needing medical, legal and general information regarding the various Prolene mesh that has been  implanted inside them for prolapse and urinary incontinence. As awarenes grows it appears that pharmaceutical companies are targeting women for many of their medical products. Many of these later have new FDA warnings and result in severe complications and fatalities for women. The newest is the Mirena IUD In response to the need a nationwide Mirena IUD helpline has been launched as a part  of the dangerous drugs and devices harming women  awareness campaign.

Nationwide Mirena IUD T.V lawyer ads are starting to pop up.  With this education and awareness for women, we expect 1000's of Mirena IUD lawsuit questions coming  and the calls are beginning to come in to our helpline. Lawsuits on behalf of women who have had the Mirena gravitate from the position of implantation and become embedded in the uterus have begun. Perforations and other complications are the result of this movement of the IUD. Wome are once again the target and must stand up for justice.

The Mirena IUD  is a small, t-shaped, plastic  birth control IUD that is inserted into the uterus. It prevents pregnancy by releasing a low dose of levonorgestrel (a synthetic progestin hormone) directly into the uterus. Mirena was approved in 2000 as a contraceptive, and its approval was expanded in 2009 for the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding for women who desire to use an IUD as contraception. In 2009, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued a letter to Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals after the agency found that one of its Mirena promotions overstated the positive uses of the device and minimized its risks. Among other things, the Mirena FDA warning letter cited marketing claims emphasizing  Mirena will improve a woman’s sex life and help her “look and feel great." Bayer is known for it's advertising to women for freedom with their contraceptive products as we saw the same thing with Yaz. Yaz now has 1000's of lawsuits filed for blood clots and Bayer has begun the first round of settlements for Yaz.

The Mirena is a device oriented toward women and harming many women. Call our Mirena IUD Helpline today and speak to a female social worker. We are particularly interested in women where the device has moved, become embedded in the uterus and resulted in uterine or organ perforation.

The Vaginal Mesh Helpline is concerned about all drugs and devices harming women. We must have justice and the rights of women must be protected.

A transvaginal mesh is just another name for a vaginal mesh or a bladder sling, They are all Prolene mesh inserted through the vagina for organ prolapse or urinary incontinence. If you have been implanted with a prolene mesh it is a polypropylene Knitted Mesh which is   composeed of monofilament yarns, which were  engineered for the manufacturing of textile fabrics.These are used for hernia mesh , stress urinary bladder slings, and transvaginal prolapse supports.  Polypropylene mesh is marketed under the name Prolene by Ethicon.  Transvaginal polypropylene mesh is  used in the support of pelvic organ prolapse amd urinary incontinence to reinforce a weakened vaginal wall or pelvic floor muscles and ligments that can no longer serve as an organ support system. Great in theory, but not holding up in many women.

The Transvaginal Mesh Problem

It is now shown that the vaginal mesh used by urologogical surgeons, urogynecologists and gynecologists to repair pelvic organ prolapse, cystocele or rectocele and to treat urinary incontinence has serious complications. The manufacturers appear to have been less the honest about the potential complications then they lead us to believe and women are filing lawsuits to obtain compensation for their injuries. The trial dates have been set and the proceedings have begun as part of a massive multi district litigation. Deposition date are being set and the long road to win compensation for injustices to women has begun.

One of the big  problems for women has been finding doctors who understand the nature and scope of the problem and are willing to help women with mesh removal. This mesh was supposed to be permanent.We have been told  that doctors have been insensitive to women  and telling them that estrogen creme will fix the problem  or that their problems are mostly in their head. However, we hear from husbands as well and stories od  the breakup of marriages due to inability to have sexual intercourse. This is not in these women's heads. It is very real and causing severe psychological distress and in some cases even thought of suicide.  If you have the symptoms described on this site realize we have heard from 100's  just like you, The transvaginal mesh injury is real and the complications are real. Nodody can deny the horror stories and some doctors are beginning to come forward and help. It is just so long that this can be denied as thousands are suffering.

The Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuits

The trannsvaginal mesh lawsuits have begun and thousands of women from Miami to Houston and From Dalls to Los Angeles and from Phoenix to San Fransisco and NYC to Hartford and Boston and Baltimore and Philadelphia and nationwide are seeking transvaginal mesh help and information. They want to know how to choose a transvaginal mesh lawyer and if they can still file their lawsuit. They hope to get answers to questions like: What does the statute of limitations mean? Why did my doctor not know about the warnings? Why did the manufacturers do this to us and why did the FDA allow it? Has the mesh been recalled yet and if no, why not? Why am I re prolapsing and bleeding  and  why do a feel like razor blades are piercing my insides? What is this I feel in my vagina? it feels like pieces of plastic. They call hoping to get answers support and help. We attempt to locate and doctor and connect them with a transvaginal mesh lawyer. The lawsuits will proceed and we do not want any wowmen with injuries to be left out.

There are so many questions with so few answers as to why the FDA still has not recalled the transvaginal mesh. But, all they can do is file the lawsuit and hope the voice of justice will be heard.

On August 20, Chief Judge Joseph R. Goodwin issued the Order authorizing the Master and Short Form Complaints in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia.
Those complaints can now be filed by plaintiffs in the federal court cases involving:

    American Medical Systems, Inc. (MDL No. 2325),
    Boston Scientific Corp. and Ethicon, Inc. (MDL No. 2326),
    Ethicon, Inc. (MDL No. 2327) and
    C.R. Bard, Inc. (MDL No. 2187).

According to the Order, the purpose of the new complaint form is to eliminate delays associated with transferring cases filed in other federal district courts, to promote efficiency and to accommodate plaintiffs who wish to bring claims against defendants in more than one pelvic repair system MDL.
“The direct filing and short form complaints will help to streamline the process and make it more convenient for both the plaintiffs and the defendants to move forward with this important litigation, especially when a case involves multiple implants sold by different defendants,” said Henry Garrard, managing partner of Blasingame, Burch, Garrard & Ashley, P.C.
Garrard serves as Plaintiffs’ Coordinating Co-Lead Counsel and as a member of the Executive Committee for all four transvaginal mesh MDLs. His law firm partner, Josh Wages, serves on the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee for the four MDLs.
Additionally, Garrard is the Co-Lead Counsel for the Plaintiffs in the Bard MDL. The first trial date in the Bard MDL is set for February 5, 2013.
“If a plaintiff was implanted with multiple pelvic mesh products sold by more than one of the defendants in the four MDLs, the complaint will be filed in the MDL associated with the first defendant named in the Short Form Complaint,” Wages explained.
“By filing a Short Form Complaint, the plaintiff adopts the factual allegations and applicable legal claims set out in the longer, more detailed Master Complaint.”
Additionally, the Short Form Complaint may be filed directly in the Southern District of West Virginia instead of first being filed in a local federal district court.
The Master and Short Form Complaints for the pelvic repair product MDLs pending in the Southern District of West Virginia are available on the Court’s website, http://www.wvsd.uscourts.gov/. It is imperative that anyone filing cases directly in the MDL use the forms available on the court’s website, Garrard said.
The products at issue in the litigation are transvaginal mesh devices that were implanted in the female plaintiffs’ pelvic region to reinforce the vaginal wall for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair and / or to support the urethra or bladder neck for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) treatment.
The plaintiffs allege that the transvaginal mesh products were defectively designed and marketed. They claim to have suffered severe physical and emotional injuries due to a variety of complications, including pain,

Old L.A Times Story below

FDA continuing to review vaginal mesh implants
Monday, July 18, 2011
According to a Los Angeles Times report this month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has released an updated warning focused on surgical mesh that is implanted into women to help strengthen their vaginal tissue.

The FDA was quoted as saying that they have conducted a review of literature and reports that show little evidence that the vaginal mesh implants help pelvic organ prolapse. Not only did the reviews find little advantage to using the mesh implants, but they also found numerous risks.

The report states that in September the FDA held an expert panel meeting to discuss the future of the product. Right now, it’s estimated that around 75,000 women who used vaginal mesh were treated for pelvic organ prolapse.

Warnings began to pop up concerning the vaginal mesh in 2008, mainly because of numerous reports which began to arise after 2005. According to the Times article, the FDA warned doctors to get special training in the placement of mesh. Since the 2007 FDA warning, there’s been an influx in complaints relating to prolapse repair.

According to the article, medical devices are often cleared without the requirement of clinical trial data. With these limited restrictions, a number of different products which are considered similar to other ones can be approved for selling.

The FDA is set to continue overseeing these vaginal mesh implants in all forms, to see if they may run the same level of risk. The agency has been under criticism for a few years due to the approval process for medical devices

And yest today as we write we are still hearing Horrific stories from L.A and  SanFransisco women.

and they are sosting all over the internet: As we fount a San Fransisco Cry for help:

Please let me know what your surgery outcome was.  I am currently interviewing surgeons to remove most or all of my mesh.  Though I do not have exposed mesh, I have severe nerve damage from the mesh becoming detached 2 weeks after implant and falling on a large nerve area.  All the area is damaged, numb and I have severe pain there.  I am on Neurotin all the time.
I am so dissappointed in the physician that did this surgery, but I am also concerned now about selecting a new physician.  I alread spoke to one who admitted he cannot help me. EVidently it is far easier to place the mesh, but it is entirely a different thing to remove it. My physician said it could not be done.  If I don't get rid of this, I will never be able to be normal.  I have been unable to have relations with my husband now for nearly 7 months.  My vagina has altered since the mesh was placed and there is a large enough obstruction to have caused a cessation in intercourse.
I am frustrated, upset, and tired of talking to doctors, looking on the internet, and hearing, "Oh, yes, we do this".  I don't have any idea who I can trust.
Frustrated near San Franicisco
