I had the Essure procedure done 6 years ago. This year, there has been a variety of problems in my abdomen. I had, what was diagnosed as a ruptured ovarian cyst because of horrible pain. Then, about a month ago, I became very sick with diarrhea. This prompted 3 doctors visits including an ER trip. This resulted in antibiotics for 10 days, a gastroenterologist followup. Last Thursday, as I was recovering from a colonoscopy, the doctor said, it appears that my Essure device is not in the right place. Then, my doctor calls and indicates that part of the device has separated. Now, I am taking my CT films from December and June for comparison to be sure that nothing else is going on. I have felt horrible for an entire year. I am 39 years old.
