In 2005, I had my right ovary removed and had an ablation. So in 2011, I took my doctor’s recommendation to use Essure. In her report, she indicated she put one in each tube, which isn’t possible since I don’t have a right tube. Nonetheless, I started to feel pain, from backache to sometimes stabbing pains and dizziness.
In October of 2011, my doctor performed surgery to remove the Essure. She said she pulled it out without complication. Having continued pains, I went back to the doctor. Two sonograms and an x-ray later, it appears the Essure coil is still there. I have 2 new doctors who are recommending a hysterectomy to fix the problem. I do not recall being warned of pain and the possibility of a hysterectomy but never would have chosen the procedure if I knew the possible effects.
