My name is DeAnn & I was the first of 2 in the state of Indiana to have the essure procedure to replace birth control pills ….it was new on the market and recommend at age 30-40. Within a matter of months I had severe bleeding and excruciating pain all the while continuing to work as a realtor, showing homes & constantly excusing myself to get to a bathroom.
I am not sure if exact time frame until my gynecologist said I had a small fibroid tumor (that was causing my pain & severe bleeding)that she would remove laparoscopicly through my navel which turned into a FOUR HOUR MAJOR EMERGENCY SURGERY! My ovaries had ruptured to 7+cm and GREW AND ATTACHED TO MY BOWELS AND BLADDER–so the cutting around vital organs was necessary and total hystorectomy. I then developed hypothyroidism (no family history).
I woke up in full blown medically induced menopause. I have often thought it all of this was caused from ESSURE . I’m just now hearing all of your stories & hope mine can help in some way, somehow.
