What is A Vaginal Mesh ?

A mesh is a Prolene synthetic woven device implanted in your pelvis for a prolapse or unrinary incontinence. It was hoped ot would support slackened vaginal wall muscles and relieve incontinence and prolapse. But, these mesh are falling apart. yes, that is right. The are literally disintegrating inside you and when they do this the severe pain of sharp piece of Prolene  to eroding thru you vaginal wall starts. You go to your doctor.

Because with so many women with a mesh and the lawsuits moving in high speed there is a chance they will find you. These email blasts are all leads companies who are selling you to lawyers. This goes for $300 to $700 a mesh. Do these leads companies help you find a doctor? No, they do not. That is not their role.

Call the Vaginal Mesh Helpline today.

They come under so many names manufactured by dozens of manufacturers but, the are all Prolene mesh and over 300,000 women have had them implanted. Some where aware of the implantation and others were just going in for a hysterectomy and came out with a mesh.

You have seen it on T.V and the lawsuits are being filed by the thousands as a multi district litigation consolidated in West Virginia for the most part. They are called a vaginal mesh, TVT sling, Transvaginal mesh, TVT, Bladder sling, pelvic mesh, Prolene mesh, surgical mesh, Bladder Neck Suspension Kit, SPARC Sling, MiniArc, Avaulta System, ProteGen Sling, ObTape, Desara Sling, IVS Tunneller I, Gynecare Prolift, TVT, Transvaginal Surgical mesh, Gynemesh, Polyform mesh, Apogee System, Perigee System, Pinnacle, and Advantage cystocele mesh, rectocele mesh, and are used for organ prolapse or urinary incontinence. Some women have one, some have two and some have three. Many have tried to get it removed only to find a new one has taken it's place. Women are in agony. Many can no longer work and others have seen their marriages fall apart. This Prolene mesh of many names makes it impossible to have rerlations without pain. Many women describe it as a knife cutting all the time. This is quite understandable as these synthetic plastic mesh placed inside a womens pelvic area are falling apart and eroding thru the vaginal wall. Many are eroding into the bladder and bowel causing a dangerous medical situation.

This mesh of many names has very severe complications. It can erode right thru the vaginal wall into the vaginal canal. Erode in it's simplest terms means cut right thru. The mesh causes relentless pain and infections that never stop. Many women have been on antibiotics for months on end which in and of itself is dangerous. The mesh can cause bleeding and the return of incontinence and prolapse with a vengence. This can be incontinence and re prolapse of the bladder or the bowel. There can be gastrointestinal problems, lower back pain, pain on one side, leg pain, neurological issues and the result is lives destroyed and severe emotional and psychological problems.

This mesh of many names has caused deaths. Some of these do to medical reasons and some do to choice in reaction to a sense of victimization that there appears to be no end to. Doctors are not listening, and if they have found one there is no longer insurance or funds for surgery. We have talked to women of all ages from 33 to 86. Who would put a mesh into a senior or a women still intent on having children is beyond me. We have spoken to women who have become pregnant with a piece of prolene mesh right there waiting for child birth. Some of it failing apart internally right in the pelvic region with very sharp edges.

With all the warnigs, stories and lawsuits the FDA has not recalled the mesh and many doctors are still putting it in. They believe the ones they put in will not fail. These are just not the ones that are falling apart. Somehow they are the magic doctor. Johnson and Johnson has pulled most of their Gynecare mesh products off the market under the Ethicon label and changed the labeling on one for warnings against vaginal implantation. However, this was just a business decision they say.  There was nothing wrong with the mesh at all.

Many names  yet, all a vaginal mesh.

Vaginal Mesh Helpline is seeking women nationwide with a coloplast vaginal mesh to assist with locating a vaginal mesh lawyer for the Coloplast MDL vaginal mesh lawsuit. Leader ship roles have been assigned for lawyers in the coloplast MDL litigation.

Updated News On the Coloplast Vaginal Mesh

October 1, 2012 — Judge Joseph R. Goodwin has assigned leadership roles in the newly-formed Coloplast vaginal mesh Multidistrict Litigation (MDL). Three attorneys have been assigned Co-Lead Counsel roles on behalf of plaintiffs who were injured by Coloplast vaginal mesh. The MDL is currently located in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia.

After an MDL is formed, one of the first steps is assigning attorneys to play leadership roles. The Coloplast MDL was formed on August 6, 2012, by the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigations (JPML). The JPML has assigned several vaginal mesh MDLs to Judge Goodwin’s court. The other MDLs are against manufacturers Johnson & Johnson (Ethicon), C.R. Bard, American Medical Systems, and Boston Scientific.

Judge Goodwin has already assigned leadership roles in the other MDLs. This includes a massive Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee, which involves 60 attorneys assigned various duties. He has also assigned several attorneys to coordinate common issues among the five MDLs. There may be matters of fact and legal issues that are common to the various litigations, and coordinating these issues may expedite the litigation.

Judge Goodwin has expressed his desire to expedite the Coloplast MDL as much as possible, to catch up with the other MDLs that are already proceeding.

On September 21, Judge Goodwin assigned three attorneys to serve as Co-Lead Counsel in the Coloplast litigation. One of these attorneys was  Mark Mueller, od Austin Texas. He  will have many responsibilities in the litigation, including speaking for plaintiffs during pre-trial proceedings, submitting and arguing motions, examining witnesses, introducing evidence, and more.

Published on Saturday 15 September 2012 21:02

Botox injections may help women with urinary incontinence, The Daily Telegraph has today reported. The newspaper said that injecting the muscle-freezing toxin into the wall of the bladder can have a long-lasting impact on overactive bladder syndrome, a major cause of incontinence.

The newspaper’s story is based on a UK medical trial that investigated whether the paralysing properties of botox were effective at reducing the symptoms such as frequently using the toilet, feeling an urgent need to urinate, and leakage in patients with overactive bladder syndrome.

The trial featured 240 women who had not responded to medical treatments for overactive balder syndrome. The researchers found that women who received the botox injection experienced these symptoms significantly less frequently than women who received a dummy injection of saltwater. However, women given botox were more likely to get urinary tract infections.

The results of the study indicate that botox may be effective in treating a common and upsetting health condition. However, if it does get adopted into use in this way there are several other treatment options (including lifestyle measures, bladder training exercises and medication that would be considered first. Botox may be considered as an option only if these treatments fail, and the benefits would have to be considered in relation to its potential harms.

Where did the story come from?

The study was carried out by researchers from the University of Leicester and was funded by the Moulton Charitable Trust and the women’s health charity Wellbeing of Women.

The study was published in the peer-reviewed medical journal European Urology.

The Telegraph covered this study appropriately, covering the study size and design, as well as the treatment benefits and harms.

What kind of research was this?

While it is hard to gauge the true scale of the problem, research suggests that around 13% of women in the UK may have some form of urinary incontinence. Although many conditions and factors can cause urinary incontinence, one major cause is overactive bladder syndrome. The condition is marked by uncontrolled contraction of the bladder that results in an urgent need to pass urine. While this can lead women to need the toilet frequently, some also experience a form of leakage called urge incontinence.

An overactive bladder can be a cause of urge incontinence, which is when urine leaks at the same time or just after you feel an intense urge to pass urine. Urge incontinence differs from stress incontinence, where the pelvic floor muscles are too weak to prevent urination. This causes urine to leak when your bladder is placed under pressure from actions such as coughing or laughing.

This was a placebo-controlled randomised controlled trial that examined the effectiveness and safety of using botulinum toxin (botox) as a treatment for overactive bladder syndrome. A randomised controlled trial is the best way to measure the effectiveness of a treatment, as the randomisation process helps to ensure that any patient characteristics that may influence the outcome have an equal chance of appearing in either treatment group. This allows researchers to be confident that any observed effect is due to the treatment under study.

What did the research involve?

The researchers enrolled 240 women with bladder muscle overactivity, or overactive bladder syndrome, that had not responded to previous treatment. The women were randomly allocated injections of either Botulinum toxin A (botox) or placebo (saltwater) into the wall of the bladder. Women with another common type of incontinence, stress incontinence, were not included in the study.

The participants kept a diary over three days, recording the number of times they:

    emptied their bladder
    felt an urgent need to empty their bladder
    experienced an unintentional passing of urine (or leakage)

The women also completed a questionnaire that assessed their quality of life, as overactive bladder syndrome often has a significant negative impact on patient quality of life.

The researchers conducted follow-up sessions with the women on average at six weeks, three months and six months after treatment. They assessed differences in the frequency of the above three symptoms between the two treatment groups. They also compared quality of life scores, treatment complications and time until troubling symptoms returned between the two groups.

The researchers used appropriate statistical methods to assess differences in frequency of symptoms between the two groups.

What were the basic results?

There were 122 women allocated to the botox treatment group and 118 women allocated to the placebo group.

The researchers compared the outcomes in the botox and placebo groups at the six-month follow-up. They found that in any 24-hour period women in the botox group:

    emptied their bladders less often: 8.33 times versus 9.67 times, a difference of 1.34 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.00 to 2.33, p=0.0001)
    experienced fewer leakage episodes: 1.67 versus 6.00, a difference of 4.33 episodes (95% CI 3.33 to 5.67, p<0.0001)
    experienced fewer episodes of urgency to urinate: 3.83 versus 6.33, a difference of 2.50 episodes (95% CI 1.33 to 3.33, p<0.0001)

Almost a one-third of women in the botox group (31.3%) developed bladder control (or continence) following their treatment, compared to 12.0% in the placebo group (Odds Ratio [OR] 3.12, 95% CI 1.49 to 6.52, p=0.002).

However, urinary tract infection was reported at least once during six months by a one-third of women in the botox treatment group, compared to 10% in the placebo group (OR 3.68, 95% CI 1.72 to 8.25, p=0.0003).

Those given botox also reported greater difficulty emptying their bladders, which required self-catheterisation to remove their urine: 16% of the botox group compared to 4% of the placebo group (OR 4.87, 95% CI 1.52 to 20.33, p=0.003).

How did the researchers interpret the results?

The researchers concluded that injections of botulinum toxin A into the bladder wall is an effective and safe treatment for overactive bladder syndrome in women who have not responded to previous treatment.

Conclusion

Urinary incontinence can be a distressing and problematic condition, and although we cannot be sure of the number of people affected, research suggests it is surprisingly common.

While there is a range of potential treatments and ways to manage urinary incontinence (including medication, bladder training, lifestyle changes and surgery) not all people respond to them, and they can have problems. This randomised controlled trial provided good evidence that botox injections may be a useful treatment option for women with incontinence due to overactive bladder syndrome that has proven difficult to treat with other methods.

The researchers say that the relief of symptoms reported by the participants was considerably better than those who used oral anticholinergic drugs. These drugs act on the nerve supply to the bladder and are the standard medical treatment used for this condition. They add that other randomised controlled trials have reported similar effects.

The researchers say that since they designed their trial, other studies have published results that support using a lower recommended dose of botox for this type of treatment. Therefore, it is unclear if the same results would be found at this reduced dose. They also say that their study recruited participants with severe cases of overactive bladder syndrome, and that it is unclear if the treatment would be as effective in less severe cases.

It is important to note that the study participants did not have stress incontinence, which is a common cause of urinary incontinence. Therefore, the results of this study cannot be generalised to all women with symptoms of overactive bladder or incontinence, but can only be applied to those with diagnosed overactive bladder syndrome (or detrusor overactivity).

Botox is not routinely used by the NHS in this way, but if it were then it would probably be considered as an option only among women who have required specialist referral for their condition. This would be given after they had tried other treatment options first, which may include lifestyle measures and bladder training exercises in addition to oral medications. If these treatments fail, the benefits of botox would have to be considered in relation to its potential harms.

The Vaginal Mesh  Helpline speaks to and hears from women daily regarding their mesh stories. These are all usually the same pain, complications, symptoms and suffering. More importantly there is usually doctor. Usuallyb there are many doctor visits. Doctor after doctor visits are happening to all types of medical specialties. What  resonates across most of these phone calls is doctors sending women for tests that show a lack of knowledge of the mesh.  The mesh has very basic symptoms that can effect the pelvic area, bladder, bowel, uterus, abdomen, lower back, legs and the entire body from the waist thru the legs and lower back. These are all classic mesh symptoms. The symptoms are being caused by mesh erosion and infection. Sometimes it is from perforation or an organ. But, The most important thing is getting a doctor that understands the mesh and is not afraid to admit you have a faulty vaginal mesh problem. You have had these symptoms for months, sometimes years and a T.V ad has just shead the light. "OMG" It is not in your head. You are a victim of a failed vaginal mesh.

 Step One:  Find a doctor with experience in mesh removal.

The most experienced are usually urogynecologists. In any event they must have experience in mesh removal for you to be sure they understand the problem

Step Two: Hire a lawyer before your statute of limitations runs out

Choose a law firm with experience handling surgical mesh lawsuits. Most firms should provide a free consultation where an attorney will discuss how the case would proceed should you decide to pursue legal action. The firm should have experience in mass torts and take youyr case on and individual contingency basis. They should be keeping your case and not referring it out. The usual and customary fee is 40%.

Step Three: Attempt to get your medical records

These are most likely obtained at the hosptial where the surgery was done. Do not be alarmed if your doctor is not thrilled at turning your records over. Your lawyer can help

Vaginal Mesh Helpline reports that  a women has finally had enough and protests the vaginal mesh. The Vaginal Mesh Helpline and vaginal mesh lawyers applaud. Perhaps this will become a trend and we will begin to see protests thru-out the country. and is being offered to our readers.

Botox Approved, Again, This Time for Urinary Incontinence
By Meredith Melnick | @meredithcm | August 26, 2011 | 54For those of you who have been keeping track, Botox, the symbol of vanity and Bravo’s Real Housewives, actually has a variety of medical uses: it’s government-approved to treat chronic migraines, muscle problems, underarm sweating and a number of other conditions. Now add to that, urinary incontinence.

On Wednesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Botox, or botulinum toxin, to treat incontinence in patients with neurological conditions like spinal cord injury and multiple sclerosis. It’s the seventh condition that Botox has been approved to treat since the drug first arrived on the market as a wrinkle reducer in 2002.

How does it treat urinary incontinence? In some patients with neurological conditions, overactivity in the bladder leads to an inability to store urine. By injecting Botox directly into the bladder to relax it, patients are offered for more muscle control and less incontinence.

In two clinical trials involving 691 patients with incontinence due to spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis, those who got Botox had a significant reduction in weekly incontinence episodes, compared to a placebo group, the FDA said. The most common adverse effects were urinary tract infection and urinary retention.

Given that incontinence is so difficult to manage — typically involving drugs to relax the bladder and the use of a catheter to empty it — Botox may give some patients another option. One injection may help control incontinence for up to 10 months, the FDA said.

The approval also opens the door to yet more uses for Botox, made by Allergan, the New York Times reported:

    The drug has been studied for more than 100 medical conditions in all, according to Caroline Van Hove, company spokeswoman. “Anything from writer’s cramp to anal fissure to Parkinson’s disease. That’s why we say it’s a pipeline in a vial,” she said Wednesday.

Botox sales reached about $1.5 billion worldwide in 2010, roughly split between cosmetic and therapeutic purposes.

Perhaps this is something that can help after mesh removal. Our vaginal mesh lawyers are currently filing vaginal mesh lawsuits.

It seems like every lawyer in the United States is after a woman with a mesh. This is the hottest thing since the Slilcone Breast Implants and most likely bigger and more far reaching. Over 300,000 women in the United States have mesh implants. We speak to women of all ages. My oldest mesh caller  was 86 and my youngest was 28. The mesh  is being surgically implanted  for very simple SUI in young women after child birth. Women are ging in for a hysterectmy and coming out with a mesh. Doctors have been putting them in after the 2008 warning and are still using them today. The vaginal mesh comes under many different names and is marketed by about fifteen manufacturers. A bladder sling is a mesh and many rectoceles ad cystoceles are done with a mesh. Many women have more then one mesh. Some women still do not understand they have a mesh. They have complications and their doctors are sending them home telling them nothing is wrong. There is no shortage of vaginal mesh lawyer T.V ads, mesh email blasts, text message blasts and even direct solicitation. You have a $ sign plastered to your forehead and the pain and suffering can only be understood amongst a sisterhood of mesh sufferers. How do you choose a lawyer? They all sound so good. First, you must be sure they are not referring your case to another law firm. Any and all lawyers will take a mesh case. They will very rarely turn you away. Some may refuse your case for reasons you do not understand after they rushed you to send the packet back. You may call trying to find out what is going on and the response is less then comforting. Do not be alarmed if you get a rejection letter. That may be only one law firms opinion. Some lawyers are just accepting the easy cases. These would be  if the mesh has been removed. This is not always a correct decision since you need to find a doctor who is willing to remove it. This is not the easiest task. The doctor who put it in is most likely not going to be very helplful.

Some Basic Facts

There are leads companies out there sending email blasts and trying to get you to sign with them, They are not lawyers and will be selling you to a lawyer as middlemen. You must use caution.

We can help you in:

The mesh lawsuits are not class action litigations. They are what are known as multi-district litigations. You do not need a local lawyer. What you do need is an experienced lawyer with a history of helping women with prior drug or medical device litigations. You need a law firm with  concerned staff who have answers to the questions you ask.  The Vaginal Mesh Helpline only accepts law firms who have a designated female who knows everything there is to know about the mesh. This could be a female attorney or a mature woman who understands.

We only work with law firms who are experienced mass tort litgators. They must have prior experience with a dangerous drug or device that has become an MDL and has harmed women. All law firms go thru a vigorous interview process. We do not accept all of them. The doctors on our list come from our callers who have had a positive experience with them.

We are proud to have amongst our lawyer network two law firms that were involved in helping women with the silicone breast implant litigations. One of those firms is still helping woman in 2012.  The other was a lead counsel. Some women are still waiting for settlements on these disease claims today. This can give you a sense of  how long it takes and how lives can be turned around when a manufacturer puts profits over people.

Competition For Mesh Clients is Out of Control

Lawyers are after the women who have been injured by the mesh. The internet is over run and the T.V screen filled with vaginal mesh lawyer ads. You must take legal action but, you also need medical help and support. Most law firms will not help you get a doctor.

Call the Vaginal Mesh Helpline and speak to a female medical social worker. Get  support, medical help and legal help. You are not alone.  Read the comments from other mesh victims on this site. You must file a vaginal mesh lawsuit and that must be done quickly, The statute of limitations is running out in many states. For more information call our helpline today.

The Vaginal Mesh Helpline and vaginal mesh lawyers warn that is is imperative to file your vaginal mesh lawsuit right away. There is a statute of limitations in every state and you do not want to miss out. You must see a physician immediately to secure your legal rights in the vaginal mesh lawsuits. But, there is no need to wait. If you miss your state's filing deadline you can miss out. The mesh has caused you pain and suffering. Do not miss out like this poor Georgia woman.

A federal judge has just dismissed a lawsuit filed by a Georgia woman after it was determined her lawsuit against a vaginal mesh manufacturer was filed outside of the two-year statute of limitations in that state. The woman filed her lawsuit in July 2011. She had the Boston Scientific Pinnacle Pelvic Floor System implanted along with a Prefyx Pre-Pubic Sling in 2008 after a hysterectomy for pelvic reconstruction surgery.

By March 2009, she experienced transvaginal mesh complications, including having the mesh erode into her vagina. She experienced stress urinary incontinence and chronic pain. Her case was to be heard individually, not part of the larger classes that are consolidating. She alleged Boston Scientific was negligent in making a defective mesh product.

Unfortunately, her lawsuit was dismissed by Judge Thomas W. Thrash in the federal court for the Northern District of Georgia. Her deadline to file was March 2011, two years after she first experienced a problem. The judge decided there were not extenuating circumstances that would justify extending the deadline for this woman. The decision in this case does not affect the other cases being consolidated in Multidistrict Litigation (somewhat similar to a class action), but this woman has exhausted her options.

The Vaginal Mesh Helpline is very concerned  about this poor woman. In some instances the cases can be moved to the state of the manufacturer but, that is always a long shot. The  Prolene vaginal  mesh causes very severe complications including:

• Erosion into the vagina, bowel of bladder
• Relentless infections
• Razor blade like pain 
• An inability to walk, work and take part in the activities you once loved to do.
• Inability to have intimate relations
• Lower back pain
• Bowel discomfort
• neurological impingement
• Increased urinary or bowel incontinence or
• Inabilty to void easily and need for self catherization
• Patch bleeding

The Vaginal Mesh Has Caused Life Changing Events :

• Women have lost their jobs
• Women have lost their marriages, fiances and male companions.
• Women have suffered severe psycholgical stress and in some cases thoughts of suicide.
• You no longer trust the Doctor you have relied on and in many cases Doctors in general.
• Many women tell us they no longer trust anyone.
• Mass solicitation by lawyers, email blasts and text messages have made you feel like a target.
• Many Grandmas have lost the ability to enjoy their  grandchildren like they once did.
• Many senior women in their 80's feel like their life is over. Many younger women are feeling like this as well.
• Now there is an Inability to partake of things you once enjoyed and considered a part of your daily life.

Many husbands are sueing along with the spouse for loss of consortorium. Marriages have been effected and whole families are suffering. You must take a stand and protect not only your rights, but also all women. Doctors are still implanting the vaginal mesh today after all the warnings and posted side effects. We must send a message the manufacturers who put profits over people and see women as a profict center.

When Does the Time Limit Start To Run?

In some defective product cases, determining when the time limit starts to run is fairly straightforward. For example, if your finger is sliced off by a defective electric carving knife, and in your state the statute of limitations for product liability claims is two years, you must bring your lawsuit within two years from the day you lost your finger.

But some types of injuries are more difficult to detect, and may not be discovered until months or even years after the injury actually occurs. For example, if your lungs are injured by inhaling fumes from a defective chemical product you used, you may not discover your injury until you develop lung inflammation many months or even years later. In such cases, the issue of when exactly the statute of limitations (or time limit) began to run may be crucially important to whether you can still file a defective product claim or if you've missed the deadline.In some states, the statute of limitations begins to run when the injury actually occurs. This can have harsh consequences if the injured person doesn't discover the injury until after the statute of limitations has already expired.
When the Injury is Discovered

In many states, the statute of limitations begins to run only when the injured person discovers (or should have discovered) the injury. For example, let's say you were injured by inhaling fumes from a defective chemical product and you discovered your injury years later when your doctor diagnosed you with lung damage. In a state with an injury-discovery rule, the time limit on your defective product claim would begin to run on the date of your lung damage diagnosis (that is, when you discovered your injury), not when you inhaled the noxious fumes (in other words, when the injury actually occurred).

In these states the statute of limitation can begin to run when the injured person should have discovered the injury. The "should have discovered" part of this rule means that the deadline may start to run even though you do not actually know you have been injured. For example, in the lung injury hypothetical mentioned above, let's say you develop a terrible cough but delay going to a doctor for several months. A court might decide that the statute of limitations started to run when you developed the cough, as opposed to when you finally went to the doctor, because you should have discovered your injury when you first developed the mesh erosion
