Reports Say

A growing number of Canada-based women are

reportedly speaking up about the serious

problems they have been enduring with their

bladder mesh which have been implanted to

treat their urinary problems or hysterectomy

complications, online media reports. Some of

these women found themselves with no choice

but to go to the US to search for a doctor who

would remove their implants as they have been

reportedly unable to find one who would

perform the procedure in Canada.

Some Canadian experts reportedly disagreed to

this notion, saying that there are well-trained

doctors in each province capable of addressing these complications. Patients, however, cited that some

doctors have reportedly refused to accept that the pain they have been going through are coming from

their implants. Some physicians are not able to perform the complete removal of the mesh, while others

said they are unable to remove a deeply-seated mesh. In addition, several women at Saskatchewan

claimed that the surgical procedure is not being offered at facilities in their area.

Initially used as treatment to abdominal hernias in the 1950s, vaginal or bladder mesh implants have

been redesigned and are now being used to treat severe cases of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) — a

bladder leak disorder, and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) — the descent of one or more pelvic organs

through or into the vaginal wall, two pelvic floor problems most commonly prevalent in women.

However, these medical devices have been surrounded with various controversies involving its safety,

gathering thousands of bladder mesh legal claims from women all throughout the US. The US Food and

Drug Administration have also reportedly received a constantly rising number of complaints including

mesh erosion, organ perforations, bleeding, debilitating pelvic pain, and dyspareunia (painful sexual

intercourse). Women from Canada are seemingly not an exception to these inadvertent effects. Visit the
