Women: Urine leakage is pelvic organ prolapse not personal weakness

mesh You are not alone. Women who suffer from urine leakage are sometimes too embarrassed to tell their friends, their spouse, and their doctor. Urine leakage is nothing to be ashamed of. Urine leakage is a medical condition, not a personal weakness.

Half of all women over the age of 50 suffer from at least one type of pelvic organ prolapse. Many women in their 30s and 40s have POP as well.

For some reason POP has not been mainstreamed like say depression or restless leg syndrome. Women suffer in silence afraid to discuss their symptoms which only prolongs the discomfort and the agony.

Symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse include:

  • Urinary incontinence
  • Urinary retention
  • Feeling like your insides are falling out of your vagina
  • Pressure in your vagina
  • Pain in your vagina, abdomen, or rectum
  • Painful sexual intercourse

Nobody likes talking about these highly personal problems but women must in order to be cured and to support other women suffering from POP.

Fortunately, pelvic organ prolapse recently received some ink after the FDA distributed an alert questioning the risks vs. safety of transvaginal mesh patch surgery. Hopefully the FDA won't drop the ball and transvaginal mesh patch surgery will get more exposure and women can come out of the closet about their problems with POP.

Have you or a loved one suffered because of adverse side effects from transvaginal mesh patch surgery? Unfortunately, it's a growing concern. Please contact Anapol Schwartz law firm to find out what your legal options are for a claim. You are not alone.
