I have spent hours and hours researching these medical devices using mesh and still to this day new things are coming in on the complications associated with the polypropylene mesh they use in medical devices. I have been in contact with my urologist and to my surprise he has answered many questions truthfully at a push! They cannot hide the truth forever!!!! Unfortunately this area will be ongoing for many years to come and sadly many more people will be harmed until they stop using this material in our bodies. This is why Lana, myself and many other women worldwide are campaigning endlessly to get this product Surgical Polypropylene Synthetic Mesh (this is the source of the problem!) off the market. With your help we need everyone to register their adverse report immediately to show them just how many are being harmed. The direct link for the UK is here:- MHRA - UK - Reporting Adverse Incidents Involving Medical Devices - when you click on this link scroll down to Patients and Other Members of the Public and click on the link to take you to the form www.mhra.gov.uk/Safetyinformation/Reportingsafetyproblems/Devices/index.htm
(The MHRA will not disclose adverse reports, so really we do not know how many are harmed only they have this information)
Are they hiding the truth? Who knows! But we have to put in our adverse report so we can safely say we tried to tell the MHRA if we ever need to show evidence in the future. Personally at this present time as a Governing Body they should be protecting patients on this mesh and to this date they are failing and not listening to us.
If you have been suffering complications from your medical device or any other treatment involving surgical mesh please submit your adverse report. We have provided the links
