I had essure preformed in September of 2011, I immediatley had problems. I experienced unbearable pain and menstrual cycle changes that included heavy bleeding that would last for 2 weeks at times and extreme cramping. When I went back for the confirmation testing sure enought the the right essure had migrated and perforated my tube and was somewhere in my uterus, the left side appeared to be blocked. I was scheduled for surgery for the following week to remove my right tube and possible hysterectomy. The Dr. was able to remove the essure from my uterus and avoid a hysterectomy, but did remove my right fallopian tube and perfromed and endometrial ablation to help control my menstrual cyle. I continued to have lower abdomen pain, pain during intercourse an abnormal menstrual cycle with heavy bleeding and cramping. I’ve recently undergone a hysterectomy, I’m post op 2.5 weeks and I feel so much better, I regret having the essure.
