FREE MIRENA CASE EVALUATIONS: CALL 1-800-632-1404
Mirena lawyers are evaluating a large number of surgery claims associated with IUD migration, and this is expected to significantly expand the product liability litigations against Bayer. A substantial percentage of over 2,000 Mirena lawsuits filed to date highlight invasive surgeries causing severe and debilitating health problems following IUD birth control side effects. Though complaints registered on the MedWatch suggest that over 70,000 women have been subject to Mirena side effects since 2000, the actual numbers are much higher, as a number of cases remain unreported. In many cases, Mirena perforation injuries were found to be so extensive that young women had to undergo uterus removal and multiple additional surgeries, ending their ability to conceive.
Mirena Lawsuit Claims Invasive Surgeries
A majority of federal IUD litigations represented by Mirena lawyers across the United States have indicated three types of surgeries following the contraceptive side effects.
- Mirena Removal Surgery
Contrary to the safety assurance by manufacturer Bayer, hundreds of women had to undergo Mirena removal surgery as the birth control drifted away from its original position. Displacement and migration result in surgical intervention to remove the displaced birth control device. One of the plaintiffs represented by our Mirena attorney discovered her IUD floating inside her abdomen. The three-month pregnant woman had a life-threatening surgery to remove the device.
- Hysterectomy
About a third of 4,500 women who reported Mirena perforation injuries between 2008 and 2012 had to undergo uterus removal surgery. Uterus and fallopian tube, the two most important reproductive organs in women, are perforated due to the migrating Mirena IUD birth control. Partial or complete hysterectomy was the only solution when the uterus is punctured beyond repair. Most of the US doctors interviewed during two surveys in 2012 rejected Mirena as the first birth control option for yet-to-become mothers for the risk of uterus perforation. Even a partially damaged uterus is too weak to carry the fetus and susceptible to miscarriages.
- Additional Mirena Side Effect Surgery
The design defect of the IUD birth control, according plaintiffs, causes it to displace and damage pelvic organs. While surgical intervention is the only way out to remove the dislocated device, users often had to undergo additional follow-up surgeries to repair damaged organs and contain infections. Appendectomy, surgically induced menopause, pelvic surgery, and scarred tissue removal are among the most performed additional surgeries necessitated due to Mirena IUD side effects.
Mirean Lawsuits Seek Product Liability for Surgery
Invasive Mirena removal surgery and consequent side effects have come as a shock to mothers selecting the T-shaped IUD birth control. A group of 21 women from California are suing Bayer after having suffered a variety of internal injuries and undergoing surgical intervention linked to Mirena birth control. The Mirena injury attorney representing the women claims that a majority of them had uterus removal surgeries, as the organ was damaged by the migrated IUD.
In 2012, two Ohio women filed different Mirena lawsuits claiming grievous injuries, infertility, and surgeries because of uterine perforation and internal infection caused by the displaced UID. Both plaintiffs had to undergo hysterectomy. One of the victims had additional appendectomy and stomach tissue excision surgeries.
A 30-Year Oklahoma resident discovered the IUD embedded to her uterus after it had perforated the fallopian tube. She had multiple surgeries, including hysterectomy, to stay without pain and potential infection of internal organs, her Mirena lawsuit claims.
Kelli of South Carolina had to get her uterus removed after Mirena IUD birth control had severely damaged the organ. As a result, she had to undergo Mirena removal surgery, which led to further complications. Kelly now requires estrogen medication and surgically induced menopause to overcome health disorders, according to the Mirena lawyer fighting to secure statutory, compensatory, and punitive compensation for her.
New York’s Kristie had half-a-dozen surgeries warranted by Mirena perforation injuries and removal surgery side effects. The woman in her 20s cannot be a mother, as her uterus was damaged by the floating IUD and had to be surgically removed. She also had permanent pelvic and abdomen injuries, according her Mirena lawsuit filed in a New Jersey state court.
Another Mirena suit filed last year highlights an extraordinary case of sternotomy linked to the IUD birth control side effects. She had to undergo open heart-type surgery, as the Mirena contraceptive was found to be attached to her rib cage after it had moved away from the uterus.
