To qualify for a transvaginal mesh lawsuit, you generally need to have had a polypropylene mesh device implanted transvaginally and suffered one or more documented complications. The most important qualifying injuries are mesh erosion or exposure, chronic pelvic pain lasting more than 6 months, dyspareunia (painful intercourse), revision or removal surgery, urinary retention or urgency, and organ perforation. Sexual dysfunction and psychological harm caused by physical mesh complications are also compensable.

You do not need to have been formally diagnosed with 'mesh erosion' by your doctor. Many women's charts describe symptoms consistent with erosion without using that exact terminology — persistent vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, or urinary symptoms following mesh implantation may all be consistent with qualifying complications. An attorney will review your medical records to identify all compensable injuries in your case.
