Symptoms of vaginal mesh complications
There can be many symptoms of vaginal mesh complications, and all could be signs that something is wrong. Ultimately, if you are experiencing any pain or discomfort in and around the region of your pelvic mesh device, you should seek urgent medical help as soon as you possibly can.
We would also advise making sure that you are strong in your position in obtaining medical help, as there have been cases in the past where some women have not been taken seriously when they presented certain symptoms. You know your body so you normally know if something is wrong. Make sure you get a thorough investigation about whether there may be something untoward going on that needs to be investigated.
You can read more about symptoms of vaginal mesh complications on our advice page here to look at the kinds of things that you may experience. However, again, to repeat the above, if you feel any kind of pain or discomfort, or feel that something is wrong, that is the time to seek medical attention as soon as you possibly can.
Eligibility to claim compensation
You could be eligible to claim compensation for any issues that have arisen that have resulted from your pelvic mesh surgery. You can be eligible to recover damages for any pain, suffering and loss of amenity that is associated with symptoms of vaginal mesh complications. This is typically known as General Damages, which compensates you for what you have had to go through and what you may have to go through in the future.
In addition, you may be eligible to recover special damages which can cover you for losses and expenses. This may include things such as lost earnings that have arisen from time off work, or it may even include private treatments and surgery costs, if these are applicable.
Ultimately, the question of whether you can claim or not generally comes down to whether you have been the victim of some form of negligence. If the device itself is faulty, or if any part of the surgery or treatment or aftercare has not been up to the acceptable standard, you may have been let down. If that is the case, and that has caused your pain, problems and complications, that is when you could be eligible to pursue a case.
