Vaginal mesh 'disaster' could be 'worse than Thalidomide', experts warn
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- An operation to treat incontinence performed on tens of thousands of women across the UK could be hiding a scandal worse than Thalidomide, a leading expert has warned.
Professor Carl Heneghan, who specialises in evidence-based medicine, said some of the devices used in vaginal mesh implants had not been clinically tested and, "unlike in the Thalidomide scandal, you are unable to see the extent of the women's injuries".
Speaking about the scale of the scandal, he said: "I think this is the worst one that we'll ever see in my lifetime because of the scale of the number of women affected."

I hope these women get the help an compensation they deserve..
I'm a male suffering the consequences of pelvic hernia mesh in 2006 which was tottaly the wrong procedure to what should have been done! I'm not alone with this where's the help for us coming from now?
Here in the States, there are huge mass tortes (lawsuits) not only against Johnson and Johnson, but several other major companies. It has been noted that the mesh used, was never ment to be placed in the human body.
I mean nothing is really meant to be placed in the body technically :/
Debbie Witek These huge Companies get away with, negligence, immoral and criminal behavior, among other things.imo they should be shut down and thrown out of business.
@@wonderfulwenna2710 And yet here they are dispensing experimental vacseens in mass quantities. 75 *million* of them ordered destroyed by the FDA so far.
I was offered this surgery last year. The doctor even told me about the lawsuit that's happening in Australia. He showed me a list of side effects from the mesh and then a list from the older style surgery where they use your own body faschia to form a sling instead of the mesh. I went for the old style operation. Sure it took longer to heal, but there was way less risk than the mesh.
God I give these women so much respect for what they go through
Mary Howell happy now??😂😂
Respect for what u clown?
@@XA0zzzz dawg I don’t even remember watching this video, shot was 3 years ago 😭
@@mayoo3317 🤣
My life has been forever changed due to these faulty products. Sucidal pain best describes it
My mother died from this ❤️
The word "mesh" sounds bad enough to make me not want to have it anywhere around me.
Meshes are 3D objects in roblox games it’s not the name it’s the thing…
Agreed. That word just doesn't mesh with me.
She lost her health, job, marriage, self, reason to live. Winning won't end her pain, but it will give here some justice and cover all her medical expenses.
I had mesh put around my esophagus due to diaphragm rupture...it sliced through me like a knife and causing a large infection and plural effusions requiring more surgery.
this mesh stuff sounds very dangerous, i dont get why they are still using this stuff after so many complications
My friend had mesh for a hernia. It crippled him for life.
Same here.
oh my god...
My mother had this done. She was in pain for the rest of her life. She had UTI's and took antibiotics then got yeast infections. Over and over and over.
It destroyed my life forever. Bed ridden with no hope for help. God help us.
Lol
@@thymythymyth ??? What is funny about this?
I had surgery 2008. I delivered a big baby, my youngest and later had stress incontinence. Had this kind of surgery and helped me up to this time. It is helpful on my part. Since it's close to 15 years I will let the doctor, my gynecologist or whoever they refer to check its conditoon.
My friend is dying from it,...Choose wisely for surgeries.
@@thymythymyth thats not funny
Can the mesh not be removed?
That's what I was wondering@@kat.699
@@kat.699it can but the complications will always be there
Of course it's Johnson & Johnson that made this. 🙄
whats wrong with the name?
@@oshiezzjibjab??
@@oshiezznot with the name😅
but in australia they still use johnson & johnson mesh till today, I have mine 5 months ago and will removed tomorrow, we shouldn't believe 100% what doctors suggested
In Ontario, Canada, doctors deny the existence of these terrible side effects...and thus lawyers don't feel they have a case. I have suffered effects that are unimaginable and have no hope of relief or compensation.
Helpless in Toronto🙏🇨🇦
I'm currently suffering from pelvic organ prolapse and my doctor a resident suggested mesh I have decided against it. My family has also been stripped from being emergency medical contacts
My mother died in extreme pain because of this
@@thymythymyth bro.. wtf?
Sorry for your loss. J&J is at it again with a different experimental "product"...
Omg. I'm sorry for your loss
@@kwinglehe keeps commenting that in tragic comments like this..
This is only being compared to thalidomide because of the amount of people affected. The mesh problems are horrible but comparing them to infant deaths and deformation in the title, seems to be making light of them in a very passive aggressive way
The comparison is more likely related to the level of negligence, not atrocity.
I'll be totally honest sometimes mis titling videos can have a positive effect for some I only clicked on this because of the title but now I won't ever have this implanted
@Mark F try it out in your own body, then comment.
I'm aware of both tragedies. The title did bother me a bit. Though the real difference about the mesh is it's not as obvious as missing limbs. It's also a newer problem that they are trying to get awareness to prevent even more people suffering.
Instead of trying to compare and judge who is suffering worse. I'd rather focus on how to prevent these tragedies and cure the victims.
Agreed
Hearing that procedure and the side effects makes my inner self hurt. God thank u im healthy... 😢
My life was ruined because of this. I received no compensation. I will be incontinent and on pain medication for the rest of my life.
I'm sorry for the intrusion and for your pain... is it an irreversible procedure?
Yup. I’m suffering now because of it. I’m constantly in pain. No longer can jog, or run, or hike, or dance or do anything I used to normally do. Life is over.
Corporations and doctors working to make money without consideration for the outcome for women? Say it isn't so!
Ban johnson and johnson products, sponsers
Yet, here we are with J&J ordered by the FDA to throw out 75 *million* doses of the vax.
Ban harmful meshes
Doctor talked me into a Bladder tape or sling He used both terms. Sex hurt me and my husband a month after Had to have removed Not all out My Bladder leaks 24 /7 now. Worse then before surgery and my settlement should of been more but it took 6 years to settle and no doctor will takes me seriously even now. I've always tell my friends never do it not worth the pain
How do I get help this mesh operation left me thousands times worse 😱
"Worse than Thalidomide"
How dare anyone compare this to that baby-mangler debacle
They don’t. They compare it to the overall medical impact and compensation for sufferers.
Maybe listen again - they didn't. They said it's the worst SINCE.
@@cijmo
Maybe read again - they did. The video title says ‘worse than Thalidomide’.
@@Brinta3 Well then I mis-heard it and heard (not read) 'since'.
He's lawyer representing the lawsuit. He is embellishing for a purpose.
i have had a bladder stone due to mesh eroision i have had three mesh implants done only found out that there was a eroision be for i had the last one done witch was the sling . i am waiting for appointment to go to john radcliffe hospital in oxford i only found this tuesday . its discuting two years in complete agony and still waiting
I've mesh in right know. An since covia19 is out an about I'm afraid to get the removel an afraid to get it removed to have more completions than I'm having right know. Some anual leaked an pain in my side at time an feels like my urithia is getting cut in half an bleeding some to.
I thought they stopped using mesh a decade ago!
i had a mesh done in 2005 just been told this year that it was eroision so they removed it in 20 06 they redone it again in 20 0 6 again i had to go back had it done again in 20 0 9 i have had nothing but trouble i had one infection after another was not told what was going on till 20 17 found out that i had a bladder stone and was caused throw the mesh waited to years to have it removed they did the bladder stone and i am going to hospital this month july 17 not at my hospital but oxford john radcliffe to have it removed i dont even no what mesh the gwh have used were the mesh has eroded again' it was like some one had a razor blade cutting in to me i could not walk i was screaming in pain and was like this till they remove it. i am on mophine to deaden the pain how much longer i have to wait for an op i dont know .
i was on of those women just had mine removed in August 2017 when i had my son
I need mine removed. I am in HORRIBLE PAIN have been for 11 years now. But the death rate of women who have it removed is 1 in 5 within 5 years -- often a long slow death from the complications. So DAMNED either way. The settlement is insignificant and does nothing for the pain.
How absolutely terrible for these poor women. Shame on J & J
Don't get me wrong it must be horrible but the consequences aren't nearly as devastating as thalidomide and in my opinion it's inappropriate to compare the two issues.
They are simply comparing its negligence, not atrocity.
hard to be a woman 😣

@@firewolf4258 thanks for being insensitive
Indeed. Some men are commenting that it was used with their hernias with the same outcome.
Please read about CL02 or MMS...It's saving me from sepsis and I can do 5 mile hours again. I still have immune issues but no infections or pain. Please tell these women they can survive this.
i have eroded mesh in my ureatha waiting to have it removed
hopefully your procedure goes well.
Hope it went well.
Oh yeah I have a hernia mesh surgery (inguinal/groin area) that is causing long term discomfort, nerve damage/pain, also potential can become infected and cause major health issues.
Can the mesh not be removed? Truly wondering.
Safe and effective they said. Follow the science they said
i hope these women will be able to get help and undo this procedure, but we also have to understand that our healthcare systems, procedures, and treatments will NEVER be perfect
No one is asking for perfection. This was outright negligence.
I really wanna know how Leslie is doing
I have a hernia mesh...but luckily no issues. These poor ladies.
really/ how's your condition now? and how old your mesh now?
Mine was implanted in 2006. I’ve had to have multiple surgeries. This garbage is deadly
20 years ago... epic...
Yet, here we are again. J&J is in trouble with the FDA over the vacs.
Uh-oh! What a mesh?!
I did my research on this and was told today by now even my bio father I was wrong for doing this
That poor woman
Really sloppy journalism, I still don’t understand if it’s causing her such discomfort, why don’t they remove it?
"permanent"
@@sanadapilled it is not permanent.
@XavierAway it was never intended to be removed. Tissue grows over it. It embeds in organs. If it were easy to get out, they'd do it.
They Can't Have Faith in Thier Product Can They!!!
It's Not Legal To Use This !!!!
