I had the Essure coils implanted by my OB/GYN in 2005. The procedure was new at that time; I think I was the first woman my doctor implanted with Essure. Since 2005, my health has progressively gotten worse. My symptoms are chronic fatigue, very low libido, hair loss, abnormal periods, painful intercourse, bleeding/spotting after intercourse, severe bloating, stomach & intestinal inflammation, headaches, brain fog, intermittent rashes, anemia, Vit D deficiency, etc. I’ve been to 8 different doctors in the last 6 years, and no one can tell me what is wrong. All my labs (exc. iron & Vit D) are normal. When I finally thought to look up any info on Essure, I was shocked to find that thousands of women have so many problems related to Essure. It is my hope that my doctor is open to exploring the possibility that the Essure coils are the root cause of all my symptoms. I would be happy to get them out of me.
