Author : Frank JohnHave you had hernia mesh complications following a repair of a ventral hernia? If so, it may be related to the hernia mesh device used during your surgery Some patients who have suffered injuries following hernia repair surgery have looked at their legal options including filing a Kugel mesh lawsuit to help with unpaid medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering associated with the memory recoil ring breaking and causing internal injuries

A hernia is a bulge that develops anywhere in the body, but most commonly in the abdomen When an area that contains an organ is weak, as in an abdominal wall, the organ can push through that wall, creating a bulge

In the stomach, for instance, the intestine can push through an area in the abdominal wall where the muscle or tissue is weak and thin When the organ creates a hole and pushes through, it can encounter bacteria that can lead to infection The organ can also get stuck in the small hole and the blood supply to the organ can be diminished, so the cells may die If this is not treated in time, the area may develop gangrene, and portions of it may have to be removed

Hernias can be caused by a variety of situations, but most of them occur because of an inherently weak wall When additional stress is added to the wall, a hernia can develop Stresses such as coughing, lifting heavy objects and straining during bowel movements are frequent causes of hernias

A ventral hernia is caused when a hernia develops at the site of a previous incision If you have had previous abdominal surgery, that incision site may be weaker than the rest of the abdominal wall, making that area more prone to developing a hernia

Doctors usually recommend surgery to repair a hernia Although some non-surgical treatments can be found, surgery is the generally recognized method to alleviate the hernia

In recent years, doctors have used a device called a mesh patch to attach to the weakened area in order to provide additional support While this was effective, some patches used in the last decade are part of a hernia mesh patch recall The Kugel mesh hernia patch used two pieces of mesh connected by a plastic ring as a device to bolster the weak abdominal wall The ring acted as a spring, holding the device in place

Unfortunately, the plastic ring sometimes broke, causing infections from perforated bowels and chronic fistulas In fact, at least 80 people have had complications as a result of the Kugel mesh hernia patch

If you have had surgery for a ventral hernia, talk with your doctor about the Kugel mesh hernia patch recall Although patients are advised to allow the patch to remain in place unless there are adverse symptoms, it is still wise to consult with your doctor about your particular situation Then, contact us to find out your legal options We represent patients affected by the hernia mesh recall and as always; there are no fees unless we win compensation for your case

Author : Anderson JohnDue to a relatively new synthetic progestin called drospirenone, some women are currently suffering from Yaz and Yasmin blood clots Like all oral contraceptives, these birth control solutions contain estrogen, a known clot-inducing agent The problem with Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella is that all three contain drospirenone, a chemical that is known to increase the risk of abnormal clotting 6 3-fold over non-use These clots, which can form in the veins or arteries, pose serious risks

Your body has a normal clotting system that produces thrombi (i e blood clots) to help heal venous and arterial injuries and to prevent excess bleeding After injuries have been repaired, your body naturally dissolves the clots By contrast, Yaz and Yasmin blood clots form when there is no need As a result, your body’s clot-dissolving mechanism fails to dissolve them

Once abnormal clots form, they cling to the venous or arterial walls However, a piece of a thrombus can break away and migrate with your bloodstream This exposes you to a risk of pulmonary embolism, stroke, and heart attack

Blood Clots In The Veins

There are two types of veins in your body; both are defined by their proximity to the surface of your skin Superficial veins lie directly underneath your skin (you can observe them with a casual glance) Beneath them lie muscles Underneath these muscles lie deep veins

Yasmin and Yaz blood clots usually form in the deep veins of the legs This is a condition known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) You might experience persistent swelling, redness, and pain as the clots cause blood to pool within the area As long as the thrombi remain attached to the venous wall, these will be the extent of your symptoms Unfortunately, the clots can be dislodged by the surrounding muscles

Groups of muscles contract around your deep veins, squeezing them and pushing blood toward your heart and lungs Blood flows into your lungs and picks up oxygen before your heart circulates it throughout your body If a thrombus within one of your deep veins breaks away from the wall, it can travel to your lungs and block a pulmonary artery In doing so, it will prevent oxygen-rich blood from reaching a portion of your lung tissue This is known as a pulmonary embolism, a dangerous medical event that often results in death if it is not treated promptly

Blood Clots In The Arteries

While veins carry blood toward your heart, arteries carry blood away from it toward your organs Yasmin and Yaz blood clots can form in any of these arteries Similar to venous thrombosis, thrombi cling to the arterial walls, but can break away and travel with your bloodstream Rather than moving toward your heart, they can migrate to arteries elsewhere in your body

If a thrombus becomes detached from its wall and travels toward your brain, it can trigger an ischemic stroke This occurs when an embolus (i e traveling clot) becomes lodged within an internal carotid artery and prevents blood from reaching your brain The affected brain cells starve and begin dying within three or four minutes

An embolus can also arrive within a coronary artery These arteries, and their supporting branches of blood vessels, supply your heart with oxygen-rich blood If an embolus prevents blood from reaching the surface tissue of your heart, it will trigger myocardial infarction - a heart attack

Pulmonary embolism, stroke, and heart attack are among the most dangerous side effects of Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella All three oral contraceptives can expose you to these risks If you have already developed deep vein thrombosis or blood clots within any of your arteries, contact a Yaz lawyer to explore your legal options You may have the right to file a claim for compensation against the manufacturer

Author : Smith GaryHas your doctor given you a prescription for Reglan, or for its generic form, metoclopramide? If so, you should know some very serious Reglan side effects that can occur when taking this medication

Reglan is often prescribed to remedy gastroesophageal reflux, or GERD Often thought of as an extreme form of heartburn, GERD is a chronic condition in which food and acids from the stomach back up into the esophagus These acids cause irritation and over time, can cause inflammation and other complications Reglan helps decrease the actual presence of acids in the stomach and also helps lessen nausea

One of the ways that Reglan works is by blocking a certain neurotransmitter or brain chemical called dopamine Dopamine affects the brain process that helps control movement in the body Not enough dopamine, and the body has difficulty moving and the muscles become stiff Too much dopamine, and the body may make involuntary movements

Such is the case with people who have taken Reglan long-term Doctors have found that when patients take Reglan for more than three months they are more likely to develop a movement disorder called Tardive Dyskinesia Patients with Reglan Tardive Dyskinesia have uncontrolled, repetitive or purposeless movements in the body It may be movements in the smaller muscles, such as the eyelids, lips or jaw, or it may involve larger muscles like the torso, legs or arms

Sometimes symptoms will appear while taking the prescription, but for many, those symptoms do not appear until after the medicine has been stopped Symptoms may lessen over time, but for some patients, the symptoms continue Presently, there is no cure for Tardive Dyskinesia, but doctors may prescribe additional medicines to combat the symptoms of the movement disorder

If your doctor recommends that you take Reglan, talk with him about these concerns Other medicines such as antacids, histamine antagonists and proton pump inhibitors may be helpful in reducing GERD Lifestyle changes, such as changes in diet or raising the head of the bed, may also help reduce discomfort

Find out the time frame that you should take the medicine While most patients who exhibited Tardive Dyskinesia had used Reglan for three months, some groups showed symptoms after less use If Reglan has been prescribed for a patient who is elderly, female or a child, be particularly careful with the length of time it is being used

Finally, be alert to any involuntary movements, tics, tremors, shaking, or feelings of an unusual need to move If any of these occur, contact your doctor immediately Since some symptoms may increase if you stop taking the medicine abruptly, be sure to work with your doctor to determine an alternative treatment plan

If you do have any symptoms of involuntary movement after taking Reglan, please contact an attorney to discuss your legal options Patients suffering from Reglan side effects are currently filing lawsuits throughout the United States

Author : George NolanYasmin gallbladder disease is characterized by inflammation, which is typically caused by gallstones The hormones within this birth control pill may cause decreased gall bladder motility (i e contractions) and excess cholesterol secreted by the liver into bile fluid Because the organ contracts less frequently and with less force, bile and cholesterol remain within Over time, the excess cholesterol forms crystals that can turn into gallstones The bile mixes with other compounds, such as calcium, bilirubin, and cholesterol, and slowly turns into biliary sludge This sludge can also turn into stones

Gallstones can block the opening of the gall bladder and prevent bile from leaving Trapped inside, bile fluid causes the inner lining of the organ to become inflamed This causes sudden and acute pain in the upper abdominal region and requires hospitalization

Doctors usually recommend gall bladder removal surgery to treat Yasmin gallbladder disease The procedure, while common, is not without risks

Bile Duct Injury

Bile fluid flows through the common bile duct as it travels to your small intestine to aid in digestion This duct can become damaged during surgery The surgeon may accidentally cause a tear while severing the gall bladder’s connections to the liver and other structures This allows bile fluid to leak into the abdominal cavity

If the tear is detected during the operation, it can be easily repaired prior to closing the incisions On the other hand, if the surgical team fails to notice the damage to the duct, the incisions will be closed and bile will continue to leak This allows bacteria and infection to develop within the abdominal cavity If infection enters the bloodstream, it can spread to other areas of the body and become life-threatening

Occasionally, laparoscopic gallbladder surgery results in strictures (i e narrowing) in the common hepatic duct This is the duct that carries bile from the liver to the gall bladder The problem usually occurs due to inexperience and lack of familiarity with the biliary tree on the part of the surgeon

Bile duct strictures following surgery are usually benign In rare cases, however, the narrowing can cause bile to back up, leading to liver damage

Digestive Problems

Doctors routinely claim that gall bladder removal surgery causes no digestive problems In reality, it might

Bile fluid is stored and concentrated within the gall bladder It remains there until it is needed to aid in digestion When food enters your small intestine, a hormone known as cholecystokinin is released This hormone sends a signal to the gallbladder, telling it to send bile The organ responds by contracting and pushing bile fluid into the duct The fluid, in its concentrated state, flows into the duodenum (top portion of the small intestine) and begins to digest the food

With the organ removed, bile flows directly from the liver to the duodenum But rather than arriving in a concentrated state, it arrives in a diluted state The bile still aids in the digestion of foods, but is less efficient in doing so This is one of the reasons doctors recommend limiting the fat content of meals following gallbladder removal surgery

Persistent Diarrhea

Because bile cannot be stored after the gallbladder has been removed, it drips constantly into the duodenum If food is not present, bile acids in the fluid can cause mild irritation This leads to diarrhea Some patients only experience diarrhea for a few weeks after surgery Others endure the problem for months

Gall bladder removal surgery is the most effective form of treatment for resolving Yasmin gallbladder disease But side effects and complications do occur If you or someone you know has suffered gallstones, inflammation, or other Yasmin gallbladder problems, you may have the right to file a lawsuit against the manufacturer
