I had my essure procedure done in 2007. I was never able to take birth control pills due to side effects, so after I had my son and was sure i didn’t want anymore children i decided to do the essure procedure because it was suppose to be non-surgical, permanent, and a safe form of birth control. The procedure itself should be surgical. It was very painful for me to have the procedure done in the dr’s office without any kind of sedation. I had always been on a set menstrual schedule. it came every month same time, moderate flow, lasting 5 days.After the essure procedure I never knew when I was going to start, my flow increased dramtically, and i had cramps as bad as labor pains every month. The pains and the heaviness of my flow was so bad I eventually ended up having a complete hysterectomy. So trying to avoid having a surgical procedure like tube tying I ended up having to have a huge surgery due to the essure product. I strongly urge any woman to please do plenty of research on any procedure they plan to have done, and i definately would not recommend the essure procedure to anyone.
