What's Happening Now
Injured women may experience:
Erosion, and possible exposure or extrusion, of mesh through vaginal tissue
Perforation of pelvic organs, bowels and blood vessels
Pelvic pain and difficulty moving
Abdominal pressure
Recurrence of POP
Vaginal discharge and infections
Vaginal bleeding
Vagina scarring or shortening
Urinary incontinence
Those are the transvaginal mesh injuries that can hinder any number of activities, including sitting, walking and having sexual intercourse. The physical and emotional harm can affect women's work, relationships and daily activities.
Although patients were assured that having transvaginal mesh inserted is a low-risk procedure, its complications can be life-changing. These complications led hundreds of women to file lawsuits against device manufacturers, claiming an insufficient amount of testing was performed and results evaluated before the devices came on the market.
The vaginal mesh lawyers at Bernstein Liebhard LLP are already representing numerous women in transvaginal mesh lawsuits, and understand what you are going through. They can evaluate your case for free, and give you sound advice on the best way to proceed.View Thread
I had unprotected sex with my partner in the 2nd week of jan. Within 12 hours i took an emergency contraceptive pill. within 1 week after this i started getting slight vaginal bleeding from around 14 or 15 of jan. On 26 jan we again had unprotected sex and i didnot take any emergency contraceptive pill thinking that the bleeding that was happening was my periods and it is safe during my periods. This slight bleeding along with fatigability with no abdominal cramps continued for around 2 weeks till 29th of jan. On 29 jan i started getting heavier bleeding with abdominal cramps similar to my usual periods. Usually my periods lasts for 6 days. But brown discharge with small clots is still happening. Today is feb 12 and i have been having bleeding for almost a month continuously now. Is this because of the hormonal imbalance caused by the pill? But still is it normal to bleed for so long?View Thread
My period was due on the 9th of January, I am usually quite regular. Instead I had pain in my lower right ovary location and headaches and cramps... all the signs of a period. My period then arrived on the 13th. I started to feel sick, the pain on the left increased and I also had pain in the right. My period lasted 3 days and was half it's normal flow, or at least, I used half the pads... maybe less than half, changing them to be clean rather than them being full. I went to the Doctor, he put me on the pill and said to come back in two weeks. In the last week, I am having cramps, they feel like braxton hicks this is the only thing I am able to relate them too. I have pressure down there. The pain on both the left and the right has gone. I am now feeling a bulge above my pubic bone, it seems to be a pointed bulge. It is bigger before I urinate and when I am standing and my jeans have become uncomfortable.
I still have a week before I go back to the Doctor but, this is worrying me now, I feel more sick every day but, I understand this could be nerves. I do not think I am a candidate for hysterical pregnancy. I did suffer 2 weeks feeling incredibly broody in early December but, quickly resorted back to my feeling of not wanting any more monsters lol
The Doctor put me on the pill to ease my "pregnancy" symptoms and said to come back if the pain persists but, it has stopped. Is there anything you can tell me to put my mind at rest? My Doctor gave me a "look" I am nervous about waiting to go back and nervous to go back in case he thinks I am wasting his time.
Thankyou

I had a pap and have to wait 2 weeks to find out if it shows anything.
The bleeding isn't that bad, mostly annoying because it comes and goes throughout everyday without any rhyme or reason.
The problem is feeling so tired, achy, back pain sometimes, stomach pain sometimes, just nothing constant or severe, just annoying..........
I'm so afraid my friends and family think I'm crazy or making up symptoms or complaining all the time.
I keep finding posts of woman that have been bleeding for years for no reason.....that has to be an awful fate to face?
I guess I should just wait for the pap results and go from there but in the meantime, I feel so physically, mentally, and spiritually ILL.
Anyone out there understand any of this?View Thread
havent been to dr because none in my area will see me and I have no car to get to my obgyn. So since 7-1-12 I have been bleeding for at least seven days stop for two and go right back to bleeding.....still bleeding now...my mom and grandma had ovarion cancer and I am scared that I may....does anyone know?????

On the 27th, I went to the doctor's. I started a new pill pack. I got my period that day. It's been very light. But, it's now May 7th and I STILL have my period! I'm not cramping anymore, but this is abnormal. It's been 10+ days and I still have it. My period is usually no more than 3 days.
What's going on? Is my body readjusting to the birth control?View Thread
5 years ago, month by month, it got worse and worse. My lower abdomen began to swell, and it felt as though someone was stabbing me on each side near my hip bones. I had a pelvic exam, and even the doctor felt something there. So I paid for an ultrasound to check for ovarian cancer, only to find out that they neglected to send it to my doctor, and refused to give me the results.
Symptoms have been compared to endometriosis, but not quite:
* Pain so severe, I can no longer control my legs
* Lower back feels like it's in a vise.
* Hip and leg muscle spasms to the point of never having to work them out. They are always taut and sore.
* Pain and bleeding after intercourse (with a condom).
I'm at my wit's end here, I can barely function as a human being. I suffer from "major depression" and anxiety because I can't control my own body anymore. I go into shock from the pain, and end up hating myself for going into shock and shaking when I try to buy groceries or even work. I would never wish this kind of suffering on my worst enemy. I just need to find an answer so I can start to live again... Please keep in mind that I'm working minimum wage with no insurance because I got terminated for trying to fix this.View Thread
This is the only time this has happened to me. Is this something to get be concerned about? I hate to make an appt. with my ob/gyn and take up her time if it's a relatively normal thing. Any opinions? Thanks.View Thread
