My name is Deidre K. and I had my essure surgery in August 2012 after the procedure I had moderate to servre pain after two weeks I was still having problems so I called my GYN who told me thats to be expected and if I continue I should take some Advil or Tylenol. As I struggled to wait the 3 months out I experienced stomach pains my GYN recommended that I go see a GI doctor because my stomach was getting inflamed to the point were it was hot to the touch. The GI doctor ran test and couldn’t figure out why I was having those problems so the GI doctor referred me back to my GYN who decided to send me to make sure that the essure hadn’t moved. The test showed that the essure were still in the right place but the GYN doctor couldn’t explain why I was having pain so she assumed it was my fibroids. As it got close to 2013 rolling in I was still having problems my stomach was constantly becoming inflammed and I was still have stomach pain I went from my periods being light to moderate bleeding lasting 6 to 7 days to heavy and lasting 10 to 12 days each month I ended up having iron infusions every week . All of 2013 I had iron infusion my GYN continued to say that it was my fibroids causing all my problems but she sent me again to make sure that the essure hadn’t moved because of all the pain and bleeding I was doing. By mid 2013 I started feeling sick to my stomach, my stomach pain were coming more frequent and more intense. My Gyn talked to me about doing something to help with all the bleeding so she wanted to do the Novasure and a few others that was suppose to help with the bleeding. We sat down an talked about how it couldn’t be the Essures it had to be something else by November 2013 I was getting worse not I was feeling faint, dizzy sick to my stomach, feeling extreme pain in my stomach and in my back, my hair started falling out, my vision was effecting me, I felt really weak and fatigue like my life was being sucked out me. I explained this to my GYN and let her know that this was really effecting me I stopped driving, I never went anywhere by myself, , and now I’m having infections, large amounts of mucus and large blood clots was coming out of me and the medicine to help with the bleeding wasn’t helping as soon as I stoppped the medicine the bleeding started again is was scared to go to sleep I didn’t think I would wake up. She again told me it was something else going on with me and I should go back to my GI doctor. So I decided to get a 2nd opinion and went to another GYN who wanted to save my uterus so this doctor did some test to make sure I didn’t have cancer. Now it 2014 in April the other GYN schedule me to have a procedure to burn the lining of my uterus to help with the bleeding in May 2014 it improved the bleeding but that was it. I was still very sick so I decided to go see my GI doctor by the end of 2014. I went to see the GI doctor who decided to sent me to a Urology specialist I went to that doctor who ran alot tests, Cat Scan and did a X-ray and we went over it and he asked about the coils and noticed that one wasn’t in the right place so he told me to go back to my GYN that put the Essures in he didn’t see anything that would make him think it was my kidneys, bladder or my liver causing me so much pain and make me sick. When I went to her September 2015 I explained what the Urologist said the my GYN then wanted to talk about removing the essures and she suggested that I get my uterus removed as while but never once did she tell me that people were having problems with the Essures I findout watching the evening news. I just saw her early that day. She had me thinking it was all in my mind I haven’t had them removed yet so to cope with all this pain that I’m in she gave me some very strong pain medicine and yes I’m still feeling like my life is being sucked out of me. This is no way to live I’m sick every single day all day long headaches are worse and last all day. I STRONGLY DON’T RECOMMEND ESSURE FOR ANY ONE
