For hundreds of thousands of women, synthetic vaginal mesh implants have led to devastating consequences. These products, made from polypropylene, can shrink, erode, fray, or migrate over time. When this happens, the mesh can pierce internal organs, damage nearby nerves, and cause chronic, debilitating pain.
