In recent years, women who have been affected by vaginal mesh complications<\/strong><\/a> have come forward to reveal the adverse impact on their lives. Among the various implications of vaginal mesh are sexual function problems, due to the pain and injury that can be caused in this most intimate of areas.<\/p>\n

The issue of impaired sexual function is one that underlines how mesh complications can drastically change the lives of those affected. Women who suffer from sexual function problems due to vaginal mesh may not only be in pain, but they may also be forced to alter their lifestyles, sometimes to the detriment of their relationships and overall well-being.<\/p>\n

Many patients who underwent vaginal mesh surgery never thought they were compromising their sex life, with many being unaware of the significant risks associated with the aftermath of the procedure. As specialists in medical negligence and mesh compensation claims<\/strong><\/a>, we cannot right the wrong that has been done, but we can fight to ensure that eligible victims are fairly compensated for any harm caused by vaginal mesh.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sexual function problems – one of many complications<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sexual function problems can arise in women with mesh implants in cases where the pain they are suffering from makes sex difficult or even impossible. Mesh has been found to cut, bruise and infect vaginal tissue, sometimes even causing organ perforation and consequently impairing organ function. With such pain and injury to contend with, it is unsurprising that some affected women face sexual function problems.<\/p>\n

What is being done?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Reviews have been carried out to establish how the suffering of vaginal mesh patients was allowed to occur. In 2020, the Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review found that some patients\u2019 mesh complications had been dismissed as \u2018women\u2019s problems\u2019. A year later down the line, Theresa May called on the government to take action and implement the recommendations of the review.<\/p>\n

As for the complications themselves, it can be possible for women to undergo a vaginal mesh removal procedure in some cases, but this comes with its own risks and does not guarantee the reversal of symptoms.<\/p>\n

Your vaginal mesh compensation claim<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One way of taking action against those who caused your mesh complications<\/strong><\/a> is by making a compensation claim. The law is designed to enable those affected by negligent treatment to recover damages where eligible. In the case of vaginal mesh implants, it may be that your doctor failed to warn you of the risks of the treatment, or that your surgeon used an improper technique to implant the mesh.<\/p>\n

For those affected by sexual problems, a compensation claim could take account of the full impact on your quality of life, potentially allowing you to recover damages for the pain, injury, distress, and financial losses or expenses that have been caused. Again, we cannot reverse what has happened, but we can fight for some form of justice for you.<\/p>\n
