In these transvaginal mesh lawsuits, all the plaintiffs claimed that this treatment for stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse was injurious, causing such health issues as painful sex and bleeding. Wednesday, April 30, Reuters reported that Endo International PLC had agreed to the $830 million payout, pending certain developments, such as plaintiffs getting their medical records confirmed.
